For the teaching of deep excavation construction, there are many simulation processes of construction progress that are difficult for expression. The BIM technology possessesmany advantages including 3D visualization and information management integration. This paper applies the BIM technology in the teaching of deep foundation pit construction, and introduces theobjectives and the organization form of the course. The BIM technology is applied to establish the framework and process of construction schedule management, and to builda 4D deep excavation model andtogenerate construction simulation animation with the background engineering.Some practices have been organized for the innovation of the teaching of deep excavation construction course, which promote the students to understand and master the progress management system and the construction process of deep excavation construction more intuitively and vividly.
