Review of BIM and Its Application in Underground Engineering

Starting with the initial development and technical significance of the building information model (BIM), the present situation regarding the application, technical standards and extended application of BIM are summarized in this paper. Based on typical cases of domestic and overseas BIM application in underground engineering construction, the advantages and disadvantages are discussed, and the significance of digital underground space and engineering studies is put forward regarding the development of BIM. The status quo of BIM, its standard setting, software development, technical personnel training and application in underground space engineering are analyzed and examined.
