Enabling BIM for Lifecycle Management with bluebee® cloud for Revit®
BIM is fast becoming mandatory in large buildings and infrastructure projects, yet its actual usage for operation and maintenance remains an open question. In the process industry, 3D plant design has a long history but is usually not linked to maintenance. In early 2016, Siveco released of its standard integration module bluebee® cloud for Revit®, as part of the company’s Maintenance 4.0 suite.

Building information modeling (BIM) is a process involving the generation and management of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of a facility. The resulting building information models become shared knowledge resources to support decision-making about a facility from earliest conceptual stages, through design and construction, through its operational life and eventual demolition.

With the promotion on the “Smart City” concept, all walks of life put forward their own version of “Smart”. China National Offshore Oil Corporation (“CNOOC”), as one of the three major oil companies in China, has established a dedicated office to manage the integrity of equipment and facilities, and had proposed the concept of “Smart Offshore Oil” based on the digital management on the full lifecycle of equipment and facilities.

Using BIM (Building Information Modelling) for Facilities Lifecycle Management has become a hot topic in the last few years, but it is never implemented in practice. One reason is a lack of understanding of maintenance by design institutes and BIM vendors or related company. Another reason is the lack of suitable technological tools. In this article, we would like to illustrate this integration using the real-life integration made between the Cadmatic design tools and our bluebee® facilities management system.
