BIM APLICATIONS IN THE DESIGN OF DEEP FOUNDATIONS FOR WIND TURBINES
Abstract
This paper outlines three key processes: 3D modeling based on the technical records, data mapping to objects in the Building Information Modelling (BIM) model, and data extraction from the model. Access to energy is a critical concern on the modern society, but equally important of how the energy is obtained. The methods used should be efficient enough to minimize adverse environmental impact, which holds significant importance in today-s energy production landscape. In the case of non-load-bearing subsoil, high structural loads or special requirements of the building, a deep foundation with drilled piles is required for a planned structure. The structure described in this paper is a deep foundation, utilized for onshore wind turbine design. This type of foundations can support largest wind turbine generators in operation. As the turbines are increasing in size, gravity are approaching to the limits of both their capacity and economical limit. The focus of this research is to provide an accessible and easy-to-use BIM methodology for capturing and managing information derived from the technical documentation, and evidence gathered during the construction phase. The integrated meta data covers information across written parts, drawings, in-situ, and laboratory test results, planning registers, cost registers, sustainability criteria-s identification and application and predicted performance in time of the described elements. Future endeavors will be directed towards automating the process of Building Information Modeling (BIM), by developing custom scripts designed to automatically generate elements for similar structures. The findings contribute to the advancement of BIM methodology as a key tool for guiding informed decision making for green wind farms projects.
