BIM is more than 3D models, we think of it as Better Information Management. As the amount of data collected increases, standardisation supports better decision making, saving our clients time and resources.
We integrate BIM into every new tunnel project or renovation. In accordance with ISO19650, we collect, collate and leverage data from throughout the tunnel’s installed systems. Through this data management we can deliver increasingly complex digital twins and models which allow us to work with clients to optimise performance, identify risk and maintain tunnel operations.
Integrating our data with behavioural factors – such as dynamic signage, simulations of traffic jams or the CCTV network further supports the creation of dynamic digital twins. These can play an important role in operator training, allowing clients to prepare their work force in parallel to the construction of the tunnel.
Proven impact with Digital twin & BIM
BIM is not the reserve of brand-new tunnel projects. We use lidar scans to build models for existing tunnels, ensuring that planning for renovation projects can also be supported with digital tools. We also don’t only use BIM for buildings, we see information management as an integral part to every project.
