Theoretical application of framework for digital twin for operation and maintenance phaseDorji, Tshewang (Avtor) Cerovšek, Tomo (Mentor) Moskvina, Ekaterina (Komentor) civil engineeringmaster thesisBIMdigital twinframework implementationoperationmaintenance phaseThe adoption rates of digital twin (DT) concepts and technologies in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sectors have significantly risen throughout the project lifecycle from the delivery to the operation and maintenance (O&M) phase. This is due to the potential and proven benefits of DT technologies to improve the efficiency and productivity of asset management, particularly during the O&M phase. The empirical evidence shows that DT concepts and technologies enable smart asset management by integrating all the O&M data to provide the real-time status of the assets. However, due to a lack of guidance and standard processes for DT implementation, the AEC industry is not able to fully leverage the potential of DT technologies for asset management during the O&M phase. Considering this barrier, this research work evaluates and analyses the state-of-the-art DT technologies through literature analysis combined with case studies and demonstrations of framework applications using the DT software/platforms (Dalux FM). The objective of this research study is to design and propose the optimum level of DT framework applicable during the O&M phase. The presented DT framework also establishes the clear process of Theoretical DT implementation during the operation and maintenance phase that may lead to innovative smart asset management.[T.
