Application of Building Information Modeling Technology in Pile Foundation Engineering

Abstract

The construction industry is currently in a period of profound transformation. In a market environment with a shrinking number of projects, improving construction efficiency, reducing production costs, and simplifying construction processes have become core survival issues for all construction units. Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology, with its advantages in visualization, collaboration, and digitization, is widely regarded as a key solution to these challenges. This paper focuses on two core research themes: first, systematically sorting out existing research results on BIM technology to verify its practical ability to improve construction efficiency, reduce costs, and optimize processes; second, in-depth exploration of the integration path between BIM technology and specific construction links to clarify practical methods for technology implementation. Taking pile foundation engineering as the research entry point, through analysis of practical cases and verification of technical applications, the core conclusion is drawn: BIM technology can effectively improve the construction of pile foundation projects. However, the application of the technology still faces practical obstacles. On one hand, construction workers have long relied on traditional operation modes, and adapting to BIM digital tools requires professional training and a transitional period of practice. On the other hand, the data interfaces between BIM systems and existing project management, equipment control and other systems are not unified, making it difficult to achieve full-process information integration. These issues require further research to break through.
