Risks Management Design For Buildings In Iraq

Abstract :

The aim of this project was to identify effective modes of interaction between designers, construction design and management coordinators and builders, in which they collaborate with the aid of a virtual reality tool as a catalyst for their conversation to design safe construction processes. The objectives were to develop a method for assessing the safety implications of a detailed design model of a building; develop immersive and augmented visualization techniques for use in this assessment; and trial the process with construction workers on a construction project. Strategies were developed for visualizing models and recording collaborations. Experienced safety professionals will discuss risk during design affecting by hazards relating to a crane, a roof, edge protection, voids, stairs, scaffolding and cladding in Iraq. Through interaction with the model, these professionals were able to understand the constraints of the building and the site. As building information modelling (BIM) becomes widely used in construction in middle east, it raises new opportunities and questions about how digital models can be used to build safely by design. This study suggests a new trajectory of research on digital tools that fosters mindful practices, and the rich interactions associated with these practices. Further research is underway to extend this study and address some of its limitations.
