Identifying Dynamic Hazardous Zones & Visualizing Safety Plans by Integrating Construction Schedule and BIM Model

EasyChair Preprint 15293

Abstract

The objective of the study is to identify the dynamic hazardous zones, develop the safety plan, and quantify the safety budget in building construction using 4D simulation for different tasks. The simulation will illustrate the safety equipment and tools required during the project construction phase. The simulation can also identify the hazards that may happen and inform safety strategies before the execution of the task with the help of a 4D BIM model. To illustrate the study’s proposed methodology, excavation work is considered which is the initial work for most of the construction works. The Hazards related to excavation activity are listed out with the help of a literature study, the 3D model is developed with the help of BIM software, and the construction schedule is prepared with the help of Synchro Bentley 4D simulation software. The demarcation of safety protocols will be depicted through a 4D simulation. The same process can be developed for other activities and hazards like brickwork, laying of services, fall of materials, etc. The study would contribute to efficient planning and budget allocation for safety and also help to visualize the safety plan in construction.
