    "BIM-based Design Method for Prefabricated Pipeline Components" has been published in the "Journal of Tsinghua University (Science and Technology)". A building information model (BIM) was introduced here for designing prefabricated pipelines. An automatic prefabricated pipeline design method was developed for dividing the pipelines with a semi-automatic design method for pipeline supports and an intelligent assembling method for pipeline groups. A general-purpose prefabricated pipeline design system was then developed. The method addressed three core issues including model visualization, progressive parametric modeling and information sharing. The method has been applied to two real-world projects, enhancing the design efficiency and reducing the material waste. The "Journal of Tsinghua University (Science and Technology)" is the core journals of China included in the EI (Engineering Index) database.

    The First BIM Competition organized by China Construction Industry Association was held in Haikou, Hainan Province. 532 works participated in the competition. 32 works were finally awarded the first prizes（including 14 prominent projects and 18 application projects. Two projects that our research team have participated, i.e., "Application of BIM In Jinan Yellow River Rail-Road Bridge" and "Application of BIM Technology in Steel Girder Erection for New Yangtze-River Baishatuo Grand Bridge" were awarded the first prizes in application. "Comprehensive Construction Application of BIM in Tencent Headquarters Building (Beijing)" and "Comprehensive application of BIM in New Baishatuo Yangtze-River Bridge" were awarded as the first prizes of the great projects. The research team got six first prizes in two national BIM competitions. The Report on "Comprehensive application of BIM in New Baishatuo Yangtze-River Bridge" was invited by the BIM Technical Achievement Promotion and Application Experience Exchange Meeting of The First China Construction Industry Association.
