Building BIM-GIS Model for Post-Vessel Collision Assessment and Re-design of Wharf Structure: A Case Study in Southern Vietnam

This chapter delves into the integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for the post-collision assessment and redesign of wharf structures, using a case study from southern Vietnam. The study highlights the increased demand for waterway transport in Vietnam, leading to a rise in port constructions and subsequent vessel collisions. The methodology involves advanced surveying technologies such as UAVs, TLS, and USVs to gather comprehensive data for the BIM-GIS model. The process includes data collection, analysis, and integration, resulting in a detailed 3D model that aids in decision-making and redesign. The case study focuses on the Cai Mep - Thi Vai port area, where two significant vessel collisions occurred in 2023. The BIM-GIS model proved instrumental in assessing the damage and planning the reconstruction, significantly reducing the time required compared to traditional methods. The integration of BIM-GIS data into platforms like digital twins, AR, VR, and IoT enhances infrastructure management and operation. The study concludes by emphasizing the potential of BIM-GIS integration to transform construction infrastructure management and drive digital transformation in the industry.
