According to the Hazards of Major Accidents Decree, the operator of an establishment should demonstrate in a safety report the risks of an operation and that these risks are adequately reduced. For each installation the most important failure causes should be described together with the effectiveness of the lines of defense installed. For this, a method is developed where in the first step a default is defined for each type of installation together with the default lines of defense related to this installation. A default system is defined as a system containing an inert substance and situated in surroundings not leading to any external causes of failure. The most important failure causes for a default installation are determined using historical data for the different parts of an installation, where also the stage of an installation (design, construction, operation and maintenance) is taken into account. Also a method is used that identifies failure causes based on the process phenomena. After this step it is investigated whether the substances used in the installation or the surroundings of an installation give rise to additional failure causes to be taken into account and subsequent the need for additional lines of defense. Guidelines are given to estimate the effectiveness of additional lines of defense.

Reduction of human error can have a significant impact on the potential for spills and leaks and translate into better safety performance and financial gains for an organization. As important as the technical components of a design, construction, operation, and maintenance program is the human component of the activities being performed. In the Pipeline Industry, human factors can create the potential for a human error at many points along the life cycle of a pipeline. Using a life cycle approach to manage human factors can provide an organization the capability to integrate human factors into programs, standards, procedures and processes using a disciplined approach. This paper reviews the life cycle of a pipeline and identifies areas where the potential for human error can have catastrophic results. Guidance is provided on the development of a human factors life cycle for the organization and illustrates available industry resources as well as opportunities for further research and development.

Asset management is a continuous process that runs throughout the lifecycle of a constructed facility. The current practice of asset management is paper-based consisting of manual inspection and proves to be time consuming, tedious, and prone to human error. Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been found to be an emerging technology and core of information management for the design, construction, operation and maintenance (O&M) process. Though the usefulness of BIM has been greatly realized in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) industry, its use for O&M, particularly in asset management, is still in its infancy. This research describes a framework of an intelligent BIM record model that can capture all the assets in BIM during the construction of a building facility. All the information necessary for operation and maintenance along with the location would be stored in a database integrating with the BIM. The database library can be interrogated with BIM and serves as a repository of asset management for the built facility. The BIM record model would help to take informed decisions regarding operations, maintenance, servicing, repair and replacement of an asset hence saving labour-intensive asset inventory, time and money, and preventing the wastage of unnecessary tools acquisition.

Abstract: The durability and safety of the bridge are paid more attention to and the design,construction,operation and maintenance are investigated and discussed by the bridge engineers and researchers. From the aspect of fatigue accumulated damage of the structures,and from the construction stage to operation stage or the life cycles of the bridge, the damage effect of the bridge in all stages would be analyzed systematically. By numerical FEM way,such as stress amplitude and displacement amplitude，the damage effects and fatigue characters from the accumulated damage would be demonstrated by the means of the determine and fix quantify.

As the second biggest economic entity, China is conducting the largest fundamental construction in the world. Architectural engineering is an important part of fundamental construction and China is witnessing its biggest construction industry in the world. With continuous scientific and technological development, China has stepped in the big data era, which produces higher requirements for architectural and civil engineering industry. Digital engineering construction technology, such as BIM technology, effectively improved design, construction, operation and maintenance of BIM technology, effectively improved the design, construction, operation and maintenance technology and quality of large construction projects. For the time being, China is encouraging engineering application and promotion of BIM technique in engineering construction industry. Fast scale enlargement and technical innovation not only produce new opportunities for change of construction industry, but also put forth strict requirements for engineering ethics in architectural and civil engineering construction.
