BIM Cloud Shines at Shanghai Tower
Ge Qing, Principal Engineer of the Shanghai Tower, shares his insights on how BIM cloud computing technology facilitates construction.
Shanghai Tower would be the tallest building in China and the second tallest in the world, when completed in 2014. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a cloud computing technology that has been employed during its construction, and represents an outstanding value. BIM cloud utilizes professional standards for construction information integration and parametric design. It also represents a superior authority power, while its openness integrates business operation and resource applications.
Huawei is providing the fundamental network infrastructure for Shanghai Tower, including not only the network connections but also the cloud data center. Huawei also accommodates Shanghai Tower’s complex and changing requirements through flexible and customized network offerings, as Shanghai Tower will be an integrated platform for hospitality, sightseeing, conferencing and shopping. Mr Ge expresses firm confidence in the future of this digital ecosystem, built jointly with Huawei.
