Abstract

Recently, the construction industry has been actively researching smart construction technologies as a solution to various problems, including decreased productivity due to labor shortages and increased safety accidents. In particular, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is gaining attention as a smart construction technology that enhances work efficiency by visualizing various information in 3D. This study verified the productivity of excavators by applying BIM to a Machine Guidance (MG) system in a public housing site development project. The experiment measured production time, support time, and earthwork quantity from excavators equipped with the MG system and conventional excavators. The results were analyzed to evaluate the effectiveness of the MG system with BIM. The study presented the efficiency of the MG system and variables to consider when applying BIM-based MG systems in construction sites. This research aimed to verify the efficiency of construction methods using BIM and MG systems in real-world settings, and it is expected that the application of MG systems can contribute to reducing construction periods and improving work precision.

최근 건설 산업에서는 스마트 건설기술을 인력감소로 인한 생산성 저하, 안전사고 증가와 같이 건설 산업에서 발생하는 다양한 문제 해결 방안으로 연구되고 있다. 특히, 건설정보모델링(Building Information Modeling, BIM)은 다양한 정보를 3D화를 통해 작업 효율성 향상에 기여하는 스마트 건설기술로 주목받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 공공주택지구 조성공사 현장에 BIM을 머신 가이던스(Machine Guidance, MG) 시스템에 적용하여 굴삭기의 생산성을 실험을 통해 검증하였다. 실험은 MG 시스템이 장착된 굴삭기와 기존 굴삭기로부터 생산시간과 지원시간, 그리고 토공 작업량을 측정하였으며, 수집된 결과를 통해 BIM을 적용한 MG 시스템의 효과를 평가하였다. 연구결과 수집된 데이터를 분석하여 MG 시스템의 효율성과 건설현장에서 BIM을 적용한 MG 시스템 적용 시 고려해야하는 변수를 제시하였다. 본 연구는 실제 현장에서 BIM과 MG 시스템을 활용한 시공 방식의 효율성을 검증하고자 하였으며, MG 시스템 적용 시 공사 기간 단축과 작업 정밀도 향상에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
