Automated Rule-Based Code Compliance Checking of Excavation Safety Using Building Information Modelling (BIM)
The construction industry is known for having a high number of accidents worldwide. This occurs prominently due to failure in strict adherence to safety standards and guidelines at various stages of construction. To prevent safety hazards, it is crucial to adhere to safety standards and guidelines by carrying out a compliance check before construction begins. This requires incorporating safety measures into the design process and checking them against the specific rule sets. In this regard, Building Information Modelling (BIM) is currently thought to be a useful approach/technique for analyzing safety hazards throughout the entire life cycle of projects and providing avoidance measures to increase safety performance at project sites. In this paper, the authors have focused on combining safety management standards and guidelines with a Building Information Model (BIM) at the design stage to facilitate safety checks before the beginning of the construction process. Further, this study primarily focuses on extracting semantics-related information from the existing safety regulations, especially about excavation safety, and integrating it into a BIM. The enriched BIM then can be tested against the checkable, computational rule set to identify the potential safety hazards associated with the excavation safety process. The rule-based approach assesses whether the BIM model follows safety codes and specifications and thus helps the stakeholders to communicate safety issues effectively and prevent accidents related to excavation activities.
