Abstract
Overview: the opportunity of BIM in railway
Highlights
Rail is a critical infrastructure industry for economic and regional development at the country level
The case study discussed in this paper and previous research confirms the hypotheses of the literature
Improve the integration of design; internal project team communication; collision detection to avoid re-work during project; minimize delays of project execution on the site; higher quality projects delivered on time and on budget
Summary
Rail is a critical infrastructure industry for economic and regional development at the country level. It contributes greatly to economic growth and human exchanges. This market represents today an annual growth of 2.3 percent until 2010 (Bensalah et al, 2018a). The railway projects are spread over several years and include several phases from the idea, realization to operation and maintenance. Throughout these phases, the men of the art (architects, engineers, builders, maintainers and operators) exchange thousands of 2D documents. This reality implies that many tasks remain sequential, the collaboration remains difficult between the different disciplines and the errors are more probable (Suchocki, 2017)
