Korea Airports Corporation Achieves World's First International Certification for 'openBIM-Based Integrated Airport Facility Information Management'

Applicable to Overseas Airport Construction and Operation Management Projects

[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] Korea Airports Corporation (KAC) has received international certification for 'KAC-BIM,' an open BIM-based integrated facility information management technology, the first of its kind in the world.

Korea Airports Corporation announced on the 12th that it showcased KAC-BIM at the '2020 Building Smart International Summit,' held online in the UK from the 26th of last month to the 6th of this month.

The summit was attended by experts in smart technology and BIM from 25 countries worldwide, including G20 nations. Korea Airports Corporation was officially invited to present at the summit.

The KAC-BIM technology developed by Korea Airports Corporation is an open BIM-based integrated information model that connects not only airport design and construction but also post-completion airport operations, facility and asset information management, and maintenance processes. It is the world's first technology to hyperconnect people, objects, and 3D information models of airports.

Furthermore, Korea Airports Corporation has become the first in the world to obtain ISO 19650 certification, an international standard for BIM information management in the airport sector, verifying the international compatibility and technological capability of KAC-BIM. This means that KAC-BIM technology can be applied not only to domestic but also overseas airport construction and operation management.

Son Chang-wan, President of Korea Airports Corporation, stated, "The corporation will build a 3D BIM digital twin of airport facilities, integrating various facility information, design and construction phase data, and maintenance information into a single system to realize intelligent control and automation. Furthermore, it will be utilized for disaster and terrorism response to establish a truly smart airport." He added, "Through this, we will commercialize the systematized digital standards, guidelines, and technologies to secure the capability to lead the global smart airport market."
