INTEGRATING GEODETIC UNDERGROUND UTILITY DATASETS WITH BIM: IFC 4.3 FOR IMPROVED STRUCTURAL DESIGN IN POLAND
Abstract
Numerous studies have examined the potential integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) with Geographic Information Systems (GIS), typically focusing on simplifying complex BIM data for presentation within a GIS environment. However, there is a unique circumstance with extensive geodetic databases that remain untapped in construction processes in Poland. The emergence of the more applicable IFC format version 4.3, particularly relevant to surveying, presents an opportunity. The article proposes leveraging geodetic datasets, specifically underground utilities, to enhance BIM-based structural design. A Python-based converter was developed to translate data between the prevalent GML format for geodetic data collection and the IFC schema. The challenges include GML's surveyor-centric design and varying file structures, requiring the conversion tool to be adaptable and robust. Additionally, transforming 2D linear data with height and diameter attributes into 3D spatial representations poses geometry challenges. Presented program-s version can convert GML file to pandas.DataFrame, but some errors are seen in IFC 3D representation. Despite these obstacles, the developed converting tool paves the way for integrating GIS and BIM for underground utilities in Poland, and holds promise for broader application in the future, such as enabling the use of 3D models of underground utilities for infrastructure projects.
