Hohhot Shengle International Airport's BIM (building information modeling) demonstration project has passed a national acceptance review, marking a significant milestone in the digital transformation of China's civil aviation infrastructure.
The review, held in Hohhot on June 8 and organized by the China Institute of Building Standard Design & Research, confirmed the project's successful validation of national BIM standards for airport construction and digital delivery.
As a national pilot project for digital delivery standards, the airport represents a significant step forward in shifting the construction industry from traditional physical project handovers to an integrated model combining physical infrastructure and digital assets.
Traditionally, project handovers have relied heavily on paper drawings and fragmented electronic files, often resulting in inconsistent data standards and operational inefficiencies.

In contrast, the BIM-based digital delivery model structures and integrates data generated throughout the entire construction process, shifting project handovers from the transfer of documents to the delivery of valuable digital assets.
As a key infrastructure project in Inner Mongolia, the Hohhot airport includes a terminal building, airfield facilities, and a comprehensive transportation center. During construction, the project adopted unified modeling rules and coding systems based on national standards, enabling the deep integration and continuous updating of multidisciplinary data.
At the completion stage, the airport delivered not only physical facilities but also comprehensive digital assets, including digital models, equipment parameters, and spatial information. This high-precision data foundation enables operators to quickly access equipment locations, operational data, and maintenance records, supporting efficient life-cycle management.
