Application Research of BIM Technology Used in Port Handling System Design

Abstract

Building information modelling (BIM) technology has been developing rapidly in recent year. BIM was firstly introduced in the area of architectures. With the development of the waterborne transport and the port construction in China, BIM technology is gradually being adopted. In this paper, applications of BIM technology used in port design were summarized. And a transfer station was built via BIM software packages. Based on the transfer station model, suggestions about the application of BIM technology on port design were given.
