Digitizing Building Blueprints with BIM Technology for Enhanced Infrastructure Management at Politeknik Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah (PSA)
Abstract
The digitization of building blueprints for the Civil Engineering Department (DCE) and Al-Jazari Hall (AJH) aims to convert existing paper-based building buleprints into digital formats by using Autodesk Revit software for Building Information Modelling (BIM) system. This project was initiated by findings revealed from the fieldwork study was done at the Building and Infrastructure Unit (UBI) facility prior to
identify the main issues with the existing blueprints conditon. The study had revealed that the original blueprints were worn, faded, and outdated, its necessitating an initiative to digitize them for better preservation and usability. The digitized blueprints had provided multiple benefits, including aiding UBI in maintenance planning, reducing reliance on physical document storage, and enabling improvements to existing buildings. For instance, changes such as repainting walls and creating a refreshed environment can be visualized and planned effectively. The project involved interviews with a Civil Engineering Assistant Engineer at PSA, providing insights into the challenges and expectations of blueprint digitization. The project was successfully achieved the main objective by digitizing all building blueprints for DCE and AJH. This initiative not only modernizes the management of building blueprints but also enhances the planning and maintenance process, that contributing to the overall efficiency and functionality of campus facilities. The project also demonstrates the potential of BIM technology in preserving, visualizing, and optimizing building information for improved infrastructure management in the future.
