Abstract

Travel restriction among countries to countries since the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. Time delay, over budget and poor-quality control in construction project due to the pandemic have severely wound the Construction industry. To reduce the influence due to the pandemic, the paper introduces offshore construction site progress management system with real case study to tackle the dilemma. By integration of indoor Location Based Service (LBS) technology and image processing method, site super-intendance (Architect, Project Director, Site Manager, Engineer) can monitor the site process easily and pinpoint defects for further investigation and measurement. The visualization of site image together with BIM provides a digital twin platform which help senior management to quick review of the site process, quality check and resolve discrepancy in an early phase. Positioning of labor and equipment with the adoption of digital map are the further step for sustainable management. The integration provides new concept for construction site management in the pandemic and becomes a post COVID-19 new normal in construction industry.
