Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this thesis was to develop a BIM based application prototype for the maintenance of ports.
In order to achieve the goal, a research phase was carried out to understand port maintenance and its importance. The Port of Kilpilahti was chosen as a case study for this thesis, where a better understanding of the current maintenance management situation was acquired. A visit at Port of Kilpilahti and comprehensive online research gave as a result a list of software related to the subject. The software tools were analyzed, and some weaknesses were found. Moreover, it was found that there was room for general improvement in the digitalization of port maintenance.
With all the information acquired, the project proceeded consequently to the design phase. First, 3D models of the case study were created, followed by the design of the application prototype itself. The result was a sequence of photoshopped images that recreate screen-shots of the application prototype throughout its layouts, options and tools. The created prototype has the potential to be developed to be a sustainable and comprehensive port management tool.
