Conceptualização de um ambiente comum de dados (CDE) orientado para pequenas e ...
Aleixo, João; Couto, J. Pedro; Pereira, João Daniel; Silva, João Marcelo; Azenha, MiguelEm Portugal, as Pequenas e Médias Empresas (PMEs) enfrentam vários obstáculos na adesão à transformação digital inerente à evolução dos vários setores de atividade. No setor da Arquitetura, Construção, Operação e Construção verifica-se que as PMEs apresentam défices na implementação de soluções digitais avançadas, em particular ao nível das plataformas de gestão de informação de projeto. Os entraves financeiros...
BIM4OHS observatory: central repository to monitor the status of BIM implementa...
Tender, Manuel; Fuller, Paul; Demian, Peter; Chow, Vivien; Silva, Firmino; Couto, J. PedroKey Technological Developments (KTDs), in recent years, have led to a step change in dealing with Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) risk management. Building Information Modelling (BIM), part of a wider trend of applying digital technology in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operation (AECO) sector, has the potential to optimize the management of risks and costs of accidents at work and occupa...
BIM’s role in improving the management and delivery of occupational safety and ...
Tender, Manuel; Demian, Peter; Fuller, Paul; Couto, J. Pedro; Chow, VivienDespite improvements and modernizations in construction processes, accidents are still persistent and have considerable financial and logistical impacts on projects. The UK HSE recently revealed that there were 145 work-related deaths in 2022/23 with the highest number of 45 occurring in construction. Research has shown that the lack of digital OHS information is a significant factor contributing to the poor pe...
Lessons learned from the use of virtual reality for occupational safety and hea...
Tender, Manuel; Fuller, Paul; Vaughan, Alex; Demian, Peter; Chow, Vivien; Silva, Firmino; Couto, J. Pedro; Santos, RicardoNew Key Technological Developments (KTD) are leading to a challenging paradigm shift in the way Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) is managed in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) sector. Previous research has shown that these developments have the potential to reduce the risks and costs associated with accidents and occupational diseases at work. This paper reports on a pilot ...
Emerging technologies for health, safety and well-being in construction industry
Tender, Manuel; Couto, J. Pedro; Gibb, Alistair; Fuller, Paul; Yeomans, StevenNew technologies brought about by digital transformation in the construction sector will inevitably lead to a change in the traditional ways of dealing with health and safety risk management as has occurred with other specialties such as architecture, structural, mechanical, electrical, heating and ventilation. Existing procedures will need to be adapted, and new routines are created. The technical and soft ski...
Guidelines for the implementation of BIM for post-occupancy management of socia...
Silva, Maria Conceição da Costa; Silva, Alyx Diêgo Oliveira; Kohlman Rabbani, Emilia Rahnemay; Alencar, Luciana H.; Passos Neto, George da MotaThis study presents an analysis of the potential uses of BIM for managing the maintenance and refurbishment of existing housing assets to propose thermal comfort and energy efficiency guidelines for future social housing projects in Brazil. To do so, a case study analysis of a residential development with social–environmental certification in the city of Garanhuns, Pernambuco, Brazil was performed, and a litera...
Improving occupational health and safety data integration using building inform...
Tender, M.; Couto, J. Pedro; Fuller, P.The main objective of this paper is to address the technical-scientific gap identified in the literature by presenting an overview of the existing coverage of the use of BIM (Building Information Modelling) for Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) management. The Scopus and Web of Science research literature databases were selected as the most suitable for the literature review. Appropriate keywords were identi...
Integrating occupational health and safety data digitally using building inform...
Tender, M.; Couto, J. Pedro; Fuller, P.Utilization of BIM (Building Information Modelling) for Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) purposes is a current trend but, as yet, there is not a complete list of its uses and potential. The main objective of this paper is to gather information about the main uses of BIM for improving OHS management. A methodlogy was adopted based on requirements defined in a European Directive covering the implementation of...
BIM na gestão de projetos de construção: barreiras e orientações para os gestor...
Fernandes, Gabriela; Couto, J. PedroO presente artigo foi desenvolvido com base em parte de uma dissertação de mestrado em gestão de projetos e tem como foco principal analisar os impactos e desafios da utilização do BIM para os gestores de projeto na Construção na zona Norte de Portugal, e ainda propor um conjunto de orientações para facilitar a introdução dessa metodologia nas organizações. No intuito de alcançar os objetivos, além da revisão c...
Real world lessons that can assist construction organisations in implementing B...
Tender, Manuel; Fuller, Paul; Vaughan, Alex; Long, Marc; Couto, J. Pedro; Damien, Peter; Chow, Vivien; Silva, Firmino; Reis, Francisco; Reis, RicardoChanging the way OSH management is performed with BIM is relevant. Several authors propose that real world cases need to be studied as there are few examples of studies covering BIM implementation for OSH. The UK PAS1192:6 introductory standard indicated some of the requisites and approaches to implementing BIM for OSH. Lessons from projects that have already implemented PAS 1192:6 will provide valuable inputs....
