To raise the application level of building information modeling（BIM）in ship lock engineering and improve the efficiency and benefit of information utilization，this study clarifies the Standard for Application of Building Information Modeling in Port and Waterway Engineering Design and compiles BIM design rules for ship lock engineering that meet the requirements of the standard. It then establishes an overall implementation process for the BIM design of ship lock engineering according to application practice. Taking a certain ship lock engineering as an example，this study puts into practice the hierarchical organization，model content，collaborative design，classification and coding，model storage，and result delivery of BIM and verifies the feasibility of the standard-based implementation workflow and the applicability of the standard in the BIM design of ship lock engineering. The results show that the Standard for Application of Building Information Modeling in Port and Waterway Engineering Design can regulate the BIM design of ship lock engineering，improve the quality of design results，and achieve digital delivery and application. It also provides a reference for the implementation of the BIM technology in ship lock engineering and digital twin construction of ship lock engineering.
