In the realm of underground engineering development, industries such as rail transit, utility tunnels, railways, and highways emerge as a pivotal strategic focus for numerous nations. The information integrity within the design, construction, and operational phases of underground engineering projects remains a challenge, attributable to the sheer volume of information and the intricate array of information sources, thereby compromising the accuracy of information dissemination. In the paper, the current standard frameworks of rail transit, utility tunnel, railway, and highway engineering are then reviewed, and the different standard frameworks are compared with the National BIM Standard System (NBIMS) to analyze the current frameworks from the system integrity and standard level. The methodologies that could be employed in summarizing the underground engineering information modeling standard framework are scrutinized from the perspectives of technical and application standards. The rock tunnel engineering is exemplified to demonstrate the concept of formulating the rock tunnel engineering information modeling standard system, and the rock tunnel information is classified into five aspects: geographical geology, surrounding environment, design, construction, and monitoring.
