 Introduction

• Formerly as the Ministry of

Railway of China.
• Duty: China’s railway
network construction and
railway transport organization.
• By the end of 2014, the
country has 112,000km of
railways
• 16,000km of High-Speed
Railway (HSR) (more than
the half of the world's HSR)

China Railway BIM (CRBIM) Alliance
• The CRBIM was established in December 2013.
• Its purpose is to promote the application of BIM technology in the China railway field.
• Directing members:

China Railway BIM Standard
• China Railway BIM Standard is composed of three parts:
• Part 1: Railway BIM Classification Standard
• Refer to ISO 12006-2
• Was completed in December 2014.
• Part 2: Railway BIM Data Standard
• Based on ISO 16739
• A draft version was accomplished in June 2015.
• The public version was expected to be available in December 2015.
• Part 3: Railway BIM Delivery Standard
• Based on ISO 29481, started in July 2015, expected to be available in 2016.
• Led by the Third Railway Survey and Design Institute
& Tsinghua University, all direct members involved.
