How could the BIM model be made available to technicians when it is truly needed (for example to prepare complex work and ensure safe actions) and where it is needed (for example starting from work instructions displayed on a mobile device)? Since 2011, Siveco China has conducted R&D in its Shanghai bluebee® lab to address the emerging needs of BIM for O&M. In this 2-min video, we will show how to use a BIM model embedded in bluebee® X in practice for real O&M work.

Chinese builders have come to dominate the global infrastructure market along the “Belt and Road”, the loosely defined “New Silk Road” of infrastructure-driven development across nearly 70 countries. They draw on the unparalleled experience acquired in their home market over the last two decades.

Siveco China made a strong showing in the September 2021 issue of the Asia Pacific Urban Association (APUEA) magazine, with an article by our Managing Director on “Controlling your industrial risks”.

Maintenance assessments (sometimes called “audit” although we prefer the term “assessment”) represent a growing part of our business in China. This article will explore the principles, practice and benefits of such assessments.

Companies trying to implement World Class Manufacturing (WCM) or Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) or Lean Manufacturing in China, usually as a part of a corporate roll-out, face specific challenges, which may differ from those observed in Japan or in the West.

Building information modelling (BIM) refers to the development of tridimensional digital representations of facilities. With proven benefits in design and construction, BIM is becoming mandatory for environmental infrastructures all over the world. Demand is now growing to extend its usage to Operation & Maintenance (O&M).
