As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes industries, EPC Solutions is entering the AI era at an unprecedented pace, driving the smart transformation of construction and facilities management. As Asia’s leading provider of digital engineering and facilities management solutions, EPC has leveraged over 20 years of industry experience to fully deploy AI technologies, injecting powerful innovation into the sector.
Multimodal Large Model eLLM: Building the Super Brain of "Engineering Language"
EPC Solutions’ self-developed eLLM engineering large language model deeply integrates the advantages of Vision+Language (VL) and Computer Vision (CV) technologies. It is the industry’s first multimodal AI foundation model specifically tailored for the engineering sector. In addition to accurately understanding complex engineering correspondence documents and cost sheets, eLLM’s engineering capabilities are mainly reflected in two aspects: on one hand, it efficiently processes engineering-specific information such as drawings, BIM models, construction diagrams, schedules, IoT and voice data, laser scanning data, and aerial photos, constructing a complete technical chain from recognition, analysis, and reasoning to intelligent generation; on the other hand, its ability to read various formats of historical engineering documents and drawings from clients enables it to reconstruct digital models based on the extracted engineering information.
As the world’s first professional large model for the engineering industry that integrates VL and CV models, eLLM provides innovative technical support for digital transformation across the entire project lifecycle through multimodal technology fusion and deep adaptation to engineering scenarios.
"If an engineering project is a living organism, then eLLM is its central language brain."— Chief Architect, EPC Solutions
Five Key Smart AI Applications: A Continuously Evolving Journey
1: 2018 – Mainland China
EPC began testing AI-based visual recognition systems on major construction sites, launching its exploration into Smart Construction.
2: 2023 – Hong Kong
Pioneered the use of LLMs in NEC contract-based digital payment management. After four iterations, the model was successfully implemented.
3: 2024– Hong Kong
In response to Hong Kong Development Bureau requirements, EPC upgraded its AI CV models multiple times to enable automated confined space monitoring and safety alerts.
4: 2025– Hong Kong
AI empowered the Spatial DeepMap (SDM) underground pipeline management platform, integrating multiple AI algorithms to automatically reconstruct underground utility networks—five times more complex than other systems—to support real-time urban infrastructure management.
5: 2025– Hong Kong
Launched an AI-powered fire early warning system: integrating infrared and visible-light imaging, CNN-based smart recognition, and 24/7 alert capabilities for international-grade fire detection.
From Perception to Decision-Making, AI Integrated into the Full Lifecycle of Engineering Project Management
EPC Solutions’ AI solutions have been fully implemented across various engineering construction scenarios in Hong Kong and Belt and Road projects. If you wish to learn more about application cases or obtain customized solutions, please contact EPC Solutions.
With eLLM as the core, EPC Solutions has now established a comprehensive ABCS Smart Solution System that spans the entire lifecycle of engineering projects. This system integrates the XSP 3D Model and Data Platform, the Foundation Software Platform, and the IoT Smart Device Platform, making EPC a key force in digital infrastructure development across Hong Kong, Beijing, and Belt and Road markets.
