Abstract :
Management of marine construction projects have long been criticized for being
inefficient especially in developing countries. At primary stages of this research a
survey analysis was conducted to identify the main factors causing deficiencies
depending on client perspective. The analysis showed that, change orders, inadequate
planning, insufficient site investigation data, security precautions, poor supply and lack
of awareness of health and safety precautions are main factors causing inefficiency.
This paper aims to apply BIM on marine project management to examine BIM
capabilities in solving marine management constrains. Integrated system was
developed for this objective which consists of a framework and software to facilitate
information flow and close information gaps during planning and construction phases.
The proposed system aims to enhance management of time, cost, quality, sustainability
and safety by providing augmented reality system to enable users to manage these
dimensions together. In addition, the expected enhancement for each dimension was
calculated to facilitate judging the proposed system capability for improving previous
dimensions. Validating the proposed management system was carried out using a real
case study. The results were within expected limits which reflect proposed system
capability for achieving paper target.
