ABSTRACT
Today, global warming causes unpredictable climate changes and issues, such as torrential rains, that leads professionals to anticipate future needs to control sudden floods. In this regard, to reduce the impacts of these consequences, and secure residents, a perfect surface water collection system is crucial. In this paper, the application of building information modeling (BIM) in the entire life cycle of underground surface water collection canals has been reviewed. Then a new-emerged robotic innovation is presented that exploits various technologies to monitor and evaluate channel health in the presence of flammable gasses and moisture. And finally, an integration framework is presented. Based on field verifications, it has anticipated that employing this technology will provide a trustworthy platform for predictive maintenance throughout the whole life-cycle of the underground channels. Meanwhile, during the pre-construction phase, BIM and other technologies integration assist the engineering teams in striding toward the best design output.
