2024.01.16

As the birthplace of Qingdao city culture and commercial civilization, Qingdao Historical City shows the century-old history of Qingdao and highlights the style of the city. Decai attaches great importance to and actively responds to the protection and renewal policy of the historical urban area issued by the Qingdao Municipal government, actively gives full play to the advantages of the whole construction industry chain, follows the concept of "restoring the old as the old" and "micro-transformation", and fully demonstrates the beauty of Qingdao historical urban area with the spirit of excellence.


The old site of Sacred Heart Monastery, located in Qingdao Zhongshan Road historical and cultural district landmark building - St. Michael's Cathedral, was built in 1901, the construction area of about 4477 square meters, the building plane is horseshoe-shaped, the overall use of brick and wood structure. In 2012, the building was listed as an excellent historical building and an immovable cultural relic. More than 120 years of wind and rain, resulting in the old site of the Sacred Heart Monastery main body and decorative surface there are many quality and use safety problems. Through the application of digital technologies such as BIM and 3D scanning, the overall renovation has realized the full digital EPC project management from design to construction.

1.EPC management, systematic protection of historical buildings
 
The company adopts EPC management mode, which makes the design and construction procurement closely connected and cooperate with each other. In the planning stage, the management team carried out a comprehensive literature survey and research to understand the city's history, culture, art and architectural characteristics, while conducting in-depth investigation and testing of the main structure such as brick walls, wood structures, wood doors and Windows, and developing a sound protection plan and restoration plan. During the design phase, the management team worked closely with designers, engineers and other professionals to ensure that the restoration proposal was consistent with the original style and structural features of the building, while taking into account modern functional needs and environmental requirements. In the construction phase, the model is implemented first, the layered process and physical samples are shown, and the old practices, old materials and old techniques are used for restoration to avoid excessive intervention and damage to the structure and appearance of historical buildings. During the operation and maintenance phase, the management team develops and executes a long-term maintenance plan, including regular inspections, maintenance and maintenance, to ensure that the historic building remains in good condition during its use.

Throughout the life cycle, communication and coordination is also conducted with all relevant stakeholders, including owners, designers, First Nations, government agencies and other professionals, to ensure the smooth restoration and long-term conservation of historic buildings.


2. Digital application, the establishment of digital antique archives
 
While ensuring the rapid and efficient progress of the project, how to realize the data analysis and mining of the whole life cycle of the building, so that the digital archives can provide data support and reference for the maintenance of the building has also become the focus of our thinking. In the design stage, the point cloud model is generated by scanning and oblique photography, and the digital modeling and simulation of the main body of the building is carried out by using computer-aided design tools to realize the digital design and optimization of the equipment. In the procurement stage, the digital and transparent procurement of construction materials is carried out through the e-procurement platform, including supplier management, purchase order placing, payment and other links. In the construction stage, BIM and other technologies are used to carry out digital construction, including equipment positioning, construction sequence, construction accuracy and other links, to realize the digitalization and visualization of the construction process. In the operation and maintenance stage, the digital operation platform is used to conduct real-time monitoring and data collection for the building, timely discover and solve the internal and external environmental problems of the building, and realize the digitization and optimization of the building operation and maintenance.



 
Through the above steps, the whole process of the project is basically digitized, and the management efficiency and quality are improved. At the same time, digital management can also realize the data analysis and mining of the whole life cycle of the building, providing sufficient data support and reference for the maintenance of the building.


Sacred Heart Monastery is an indelible symbol in the memory of Qingdao city, and its unique aesthetic style shows the mind of Qingdao embracing all rivers. Decai Shares give full play to the advantages of the whole industrial chain of architecture, under the rich history, architecture and art knowledge and skills of the professional design and construction team of ancient architecture, accurately restore the original style of ancient buildings, so that the historical buildings bearing memory can be revitalized, help urban renewal and development, and strive to write a new chapter in the pattern of high-quality urban development.
