The design task of pumped storage project is heavy

the time is limited

and there are many disciplines involved. Therefore

traditional design methods are unable to satisfy the current situation and requirements. Using BIM technology

through meticulous application planning

the collaborative design is carried out

covering surveying

civil engineering

mechanical and electrical engineering

and other re - lated disciplines. It can significantly improve the rationality of design schemes

enhance the accuracy and quality of design results

increase the diversity of results

liberate the productivity of designers

and provide a solid foundation for the application of digital twin pumped storage power stations. This study briefly describes the way to choose a suitable 3D digital collaborative design solution for pumped storage power stations and carry out 3D digital design

as well as the value and advantages of 3D digital technol- ogy in the design stage of pumped storage power stations.
