Abstract:
Xiangyang East Railway Station is one of the largest high-speed railway stations characterized by one-off construction in Chinese non-provincial capital cities. Its building scale is only second to Wuhan Station with a floor area of 222 600 square meters. The curtain wall construction of this project is various in kind and complex as well. The eaves of the four sides are vertical twisting curves, thus posing great difficulties in organizing overhead construction. Through the application of BIM technologies in the design and construction processes, it has solved the construction technological problem to achieve the designed appearance, has improved the curtain wall design and construction level for railway station buildings, has reduced cost and has increased efficiencies for the implementation of this project.
