A Framework for Risk & Safety Management in Syrian Construction Projects using Building Information Modeling. Case Study: MEP Works for Jableh Post Office Building
This study aims to propose a framework for linking the timeline of a construction project with security and safety procedures and taking proactive measures in the design and planning stages in the early stages of project to reduce risks of construction projects in Syria, by studying the current status of risk management for construction projects in Syria, determine the awareness level of security and safety risks importance, and propose practical steps to link the project timeline with security and safety procedures.
The study community consists of representatives of contracting companies, consultation offices, real estate owners, and engineering and technical education institutions in the construction sector in Syria, who are responsible for the study, design, implementation, and supervision of construction projects. The questionnaire was distributed electronically using the Google Forms services, and 48 answers were obtained from a random research sample distributed throughout Syria. The statistical analysis program SPSS was used to analyze and process the data. Descriptive frequency tables with percentages were used, and the validity and reliability of the questionnaire were tested. Likewise, the risk management of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing works (MEP) was studied for a case study, which is Jableh Post Office Building Project, using the Synchro software as one of BIM technology tools, after identifying the most important occupational health and safety risks for these works using the Hierarchy of Controls (HOC) method.
The study concluded the importance of using BIM technology in risk management, which greatly helped to overcome security and safety incidents by making adjustments to the proposed project timeline at the design stage, which led to improving the safety and productivity of the project as well as reducing project costs by avoiding risks in the project at an early stage of its life cycle. On the other hand, the study showed weak interest in risk management at the organizational level of institutions, despite individual awareness of the importance of these risks. This was represented by the weak application of risk management techniques in projects, the lack of benefit from experiences of previous projects, as well as the mediocre documentation of work accidents and the mediocre use of personal protective equipment.
The study concluded by presenting a set of recommendations, which is enhancing and raising the degree of awareness of the importance of occupational health and safety risks management in construction projects at senior management levels, and the necessity of linking it with the project timeline in the early stages of the project life cycle, in addition to recommending the establishment of a risk management department to follow up risks in Projects. It is also necessary to utilize building information modeling technology to help link the risk plan with project activities to improve the quality, safety and productivity of the project, as well as avoid risks in projects, reduce costs and have greater project control.

The importance of building information modeling in improving the efficiency of maintenance management for service buildings (The case of the building of the Faculty of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering at Tishreen University)
Maintenance management has a major role in developing and improving the performance of service buildings. Therefore, in this research, building information modeling was used to improve the efficiency of maintenance management by applying BIM to a university building to obtain detailed and accurate information about the building’s components and linking the building’s maintenance data to its elements. Through the capabilities and flexibility of the Revit program, which is clearly reflected in the ability to add parameters to the elements in addition to the (basic) operational parameters, and thus sort the maintenance data according to the components of the building and model it to turn into information that is extracted, analyzed, and excavated for the implicit knowledge in it to understand it and make appropriate decisions that help improve efficiency. Maintenance management of the building, which reflects the accuracy of maintenance work, achieving the best quality service at the lowest cost, and achieving electronic documentation of maintenance data. The research emphasized the role of business intelligence techniques and linking them with the three-dimensional database related to maintenance to achieve the best methods in decision-making. The descriptive and analytical approach was relied upon by describing the reality of maintenance management in the Maintenance Department and describing the architectural maintenance work for 5 years (2019-2023). An accurate description of all the building elements was also carried out to create a BIM model for Electrical and Mechanical Engineering College building, through which the maintenance data was linked with the operational data of the model by entering maintenance parameters on the architectural elements of the building (doors - walls - windows - false ceilings - floors) and taking advantage of what it provides. Revit technology created tables for the building, which were exported to Excel and then to the Power Bi program, which provides the ability to analyze data, identify the most important maintenance problems and the cost for each element, determine the proportions of implemented and non-implemented items, determine the reasons for nonimplementation, and measure the performance of workshops and specialists. It has also been linked. Spatially and visually, it showed the most important problems and their architectural spaces and predicted an approximate budget for future architectural maintenance in the coming year by linking the number of students and the cost of maintenance during the five years. The building elements were also evaluated by giving technical marks to determine the periodic maintenance items for the next year for the doors element and studying the expected cost. To maintain the doors and determine the necessary materials to supply for the coming year

Adopting the Digital Transformation in BIM Implementation in Syrian Regulatory
Government Agencies
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a promising technology in the advanced engineering, architectural, and construction (AEC) sector. However, the integrated potential of BIM has not yet been fully utilized to enable this field. This may be due to some of the obstacles that still need to be overcome by BIM in both the technological and administrative perspectives. The inclusion of this science in all stages and requirements of the project has an impact on technological development and the digital transformation in the Syrian Arab Republic.
A critical point that has influenced the seriousness of implementing BIM in Syria is the adoption of BIM policy by governments within state institutions concerned with the construction sector by integrating its technologies into the procedures of the licensing system. This is to develop the electronic government and electronic services of Syria.
This was done through studies of successful global experiences in this field and documentation of some Arab experiences that can be used for digital transformation. The reality of licensing procedures in the Syrian Arab sector was documented to start from it to reach realistic solutions and procedures that are applicable through following the approach of business process reengineering (BPR). An electronic licensing system has been reached that is being developed in three gradual phases with integration of BIM requirements for integrated application and the use of BIM system tools using MODELCHECKER, the inclusion of required submission standards, and the preparation of project file requirements and the submission of licensing service according to BIM. The maturity of the licensing system depends on the submission of BIMMODEL to meet the requirements of intelligent building systems (DB).

تصنيف أنظمة المياه الرمادية في سوريا
Classification of Gray Water Systems in Syria
Water scarcity is a major problem in many areas in Syria, as Syria is considered one of the countries facing serious water challenges. This greatly affects the lives of the people, the country's economy, and securing the necessary needs for irrigation water in many areas.
One of the solutions to mitigate the water shortage problem is the reuse of treated gray water. Many systems for grey water treatment have emerged worldwide, but due to the variety of these systems, we face a challenge in selecting the most efficient system to be used in each region.
Therefore, the aim of this research was to classify greywater treatment systems that can be used in Syria according to their treatment methods (physical, chemical, or biological). mentioning the characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages of each system, and then creating a comparative matrix for these systems based on specific criteria, including cost, the quality of treated water, experience, availability, and considering the environmental impact of each system within this classification, and the feasibility of using building information modeling (BIM) in the design and analysis of these systems. Taking into account previous studies and expert opinions in this field. In order to select the most effective and sustainable graywater system for use in Syria, for each project according to our needs.
The granular filtration system emerged as one of the most efficient physical treatment methods for greywater treatment in Syria, followed by vertical flow bioreactor, as a good biological treatment system.
Additionally, BIM technology can facilitate the design, implementation, operation, and classification of green building systems, including greywater systems. However, it is important to determine the feasibility of using BIM technology and assess how much modeling can enhance the performance of these systems, particularly in more complex systems. Therefore, BIM was introduced as a criterion to evaluate and classify these systems in the assessment matrix.

اقتراح مرافق السلامة المؤقتة للحماية من السقوط باستخدام 4DBIM بما يحقق معايير OSHA
Proposal for temporary safety facilities for fall protection using 4DBIM to meet OSHA standards
Temporary Safety Facilities (TSFs) are an essential support system that provides the necessary protection to workers during construction activities, which aims to prevent accidents on the construction site; However, the schedule and location of installation and dismantling of technical support facilities is still based on work experience, and is often omitted from official drawings or documents. This leads to thousands of accidents in the construction industry, especially in small and medium-sized construction companies due to many limiting factors; Therefore, this study proposes automatic workspace planning for temporary safety facilities (in our case guardrails for fall protection) based on construction activities, which is a structured approach for SMEs working in construction to practice Occupational Health and Safety (OHSA). Using Building Information Modeling (BIM) safety facilities can be simulated and visualized to be integrated into the designated work space. The developed system was implemented using 4D-BIM to install temporary safety facilities (railings for fall protection) and was validated through a case study of a mall project.
The result revealed that integrating temporary safety facilities with the model provides a better understanding of safety measures during project implementation.
Additionally, temporary facility workspace planning provides an affordable approach that stimulates safety practices; Thus, significantly enhancing the management effectiveness of construction safety measures.
