Abstract: In order to achieve integrated, intelligent, visualized and refined administration of safety management business information, and to improve intelligent safety management and control level, based on the theory of the smart management and control system and characteristics of hydropower engineering, an improved system was established featuring automatic perception, analysis and early warning, and interactive decision-making through integrating safety management with cutting-edge technologies such as mobile Internet, Internet of Things, cloud platforms, big data, and artificial intelligence. Then, information of dispersed business concerning safety management of hydropower projects was integrated, and with construction and application of Jinchuan Hydropower Station on the Dadu River as an example, the results show that the proposed system can realize comprehensive identification, perception, early warning and closed-loop rectification of construction risks, providing an intelligent and innovative model for safety management of hydropower project construction.

Key words: hydropower engineering, intelligent safety management and control system, intelligent engineering, management module, technical architecture
