Integrated Digital Twin and BIM Approach to Minimize Environmental Loads for In-Situ Production and Yard-Stock Management of Precast Concrete Components

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Digital Twin (DT) technology has become a cornerstone of data-driven decision-making in the construction industry through its simulation and predictive capabilities. The integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and DT forms a closed-loop system that delivers dynamic operational insights, including predictive maintenance, performance tracking, and risk assessment. This study introduces a BIM-enabled DT framework designed to optimize in-situ production and stockyard management of precast concrete (PC) components. Utilizing the Oracle Crystal Ball simulation tool, CO₂ emissions optimization were conducted. Results showed potential reductions up to 8.7% in environmental impact. The framework was validated through application to a large-scale logistics warehouse project, providing practical insights for sustainable construction planning.
