Applying full BIM Incheon Airport’s Phase 4 construction project incorporated full Building Information Modeling

technology from (BIM) design. During the earlier Phase 1 and 2 projects, BIM technology was still new to
Korea and was not implemented. BIM design was first introduced in the Phase 3 project for the
the planning stage construction of Terminal 2 and connecting roads. However, for Phase 4, full BIM technology was

applied throughout the entire construction process from the initial planning phase.
As airport construction is a large-scale, complex project involving both architectural and civil
engineering, efficient project management was essential. With numerous contractors working in

the same space, construction phase interference was inevitable. By using BIM for design, errors
could be minimized and construction quality improved. BIM’s 3D modeling enabled a clear view
of potential clashes among design elements, supporting effective project execution. By detecting
collision points during the design phase, the project minimized interference, significantly reducing

rework during construction. Furthermore, comprehensive data of the entire airport infrastructure,
established through BIM, could be utilized for maintenance after project completion.
By proactively adopting BIM technology, a vital component in the construction industry, in the
public sector, Incheon Airport set a new milestone in Korea’s BIM history. In recognition of

its leadership in smart construction technology, Incheon Airport received the Minister of Land,
Infrastructure, and Transport Award (BIM AWARDS, Public Sector Grand Prize) at the Smart
Construction Technology & Safety Expo in 2019.
