About this event
CIC's goal is to bring together bright minds to give talks that are related to the successful implementation of BIM in real life, and on a wide range of topics to accelerate BIM adoption. BIM experts of different background from the industry will be invited to share their "how-to-BIM" experience in BIM Talks.
Speakers and Topics:
Ar. Ada FUNG, Chairperson, Committee on BIM, Construction Industry Council
Ar. Ada FUNG is the Chairperson of the Committee on BIM of the CIC. With a passion to drive BIM adoption in both local and global arena, Ada is President of Hong Kong Alliance of Built Asset & Environment Information Management Associations, Chairperson of Hong Kong Chapter of buildingSMART International, and Chairperson of Asia-Pacific Regional BIM Group.
Being an Architect by profession, Ada is an active member in society, driving continuous improvement and sustainable development for the built asset industry. She has been the Deputy Director of Housing supervising the Development & Construction Division of the Housing Department until end of 2017. Ada is the President of the Lighthouse Club (HK), and Director of the Logistics and Supply Chain MultiTech R&D Centre, amongst other services in the civil society.
Ms. Irene PANG, Assistant Director/New Works, Water Supplies Department
Abstract: In line with the policy of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government for promoting technology and innovative construction methods in major capital works projects, Water Supplies Department (WSD) started to use the Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology in 2014 and has achieved good results in a number of waterworks projects involving different types of waterworks facilities, such as water treatment works, pumping stations, service reservoirs and water mains.
Good planning is the key to success. WSD has developed a detailed roadmap for adoption of BIM in the Department, consisting of 5 pillars: Specification and process, Data sharing, Capacity development, Asset management and BIM for authorities.
Following these 5 pillars, WSD developed BIM manuals and guidelines aligning with DEVB and CIC standards for our BIMers and design engineers, to ensure the quality and consistency of the modelling works across the projects within WSD. We also foster the use of new technologies to facilitate design review and collaboration between different design teams. For water mains, integration of BIM with our GIS platform, together with the point cloud data collected during our mainlaying works, will be an initiative to benefit our colleagues in locating and appreciating the spatial conditions of our underground water mains and surrounding utilities.
Mr. HO Kwok-tim, Chief Highway Engineer, Research and Development Division, Highways Department
Abstract: Highways Department (HyD) is devoted to use BIM technology in highways projects to enhance the productivity of design and construction project management. Over the years, HyD has adopted BIM uses in various design and construction projects.
The speaker will introduce the HyD guidelines which set out the details of the approaches and standards to be adopted in HyD such that officers, consultants and contractors of public works projects are able to share common project information via the BIM platform. The guidelines set the format of naming convention, level of development (LOD) requirements, BIM document templates, etc. to be used in HyD’s projects. Also, the speaker will introduce the BIM objects developed by HyD to facilitate the use of BIM technology in HyD projects.
The speaker will then share the practical experience in using BIM technology in various projects such as the Central Kowloon Route, Lift and Pedestrian Walkway System between Castle Peak Road and Kung Yip Street, Kwai Chung, etc. The speaker will introduce the use of BIM technologies in design including existing condition modelling, clash analysis and drawings generation. Also, the use of 4D models for the construction sequence modelling which allow the designer to review the constructability of the design and construction planning will be presented. After that, the speaker will show the integration of the BIM models with the Request for Inspection/Survey Check (RISC) form to improve the construction management. Last but not least, an example of using BIM to estimate the volume of excavated soil will be shown to serve as a reference for the quantity survey.
Ir. Bernard WONG, Senior Engineer/BIM, Drainage Services Department
Abstract: Following the government policy to apply BIM, Drainage Services Department (DSD) has been adopting the use of the technology in most of the major capital works projects at different project stages. With a view to enable future asset management, DSD has aligned BIM practices amongst different projects through a BIM standard established since 2018. The presentation will provide a brief introduction on the BIM standard, and an overview and examples of BIM adoption in DSD projects.
While aligned BIM practices, DSD also encourages the application of various innovative technologies to suit different project needs and is keen to explore the potential synergy of BIM application together with the digitalized information from these technologies in project and asset management. The presentation will also cover the application of these technologies and discuss the potentials for project management and asset management when integrated with BIM.
Ir. Steve CHAN, Senior Engineer/Building Information Modelling, Electrical and Mechanical Services Department
Abstract: To illustrate how Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) is digitalising the building assets of the existing government venues, from selecting venues & assets, completing asset data update, uploading as-built drawings, digitalising documents, and to pave the way for Building Information Modelling - Asset Management (BIM-AM) operation for enjoying single source of information with workflow management under a Common Data Environment (CDE). The digitalized information of individual building will be integrated to Geographic Information System to foster the smart city development.
Participating in this webinar counts for 2 CPD hours. The e-Certificate of Attendance will be sent via email to qualified participants within one month following the webinar.
