Abstract
This paper explains how building information modelling was successfully used as an integrated part of the master-planning process for the 30 km Sorli-to-Brumunddal high-speed rail project in Norway. It concludes that new technology, cloud-based services and collaboration tools can dramatically improve the way complex multi-disciplinary infrastructure projects can be planned, designed and implemented.
Highlights
Bane NOR, the state-owned company responsible for the Norwegian national railway infrastructure, is building 270 km of new double-track high-speed railway by 2034
The 30 km section that runs from a timber terminal at Sorli by way of Stange and Hamar to Brumunddal is currently at the end of the municipal masterplanning phase and is being developed by Rambøll Sweco ANS joint venture
This paper describes the workflow in the preparation of the municipal master plan, which includes environmental impact assessment and a technical master plan
Summary
Bane NOR, the state-owned company responsible for the Norwegian national railway infrastructure, is building 270 km of new double-track high-speed railway by 2034. This paper describes the workflow in the preparation of the municipal master plan, which includes environmental impact assessment and a technical master plan. It explains how the geographically distributed team made up of two companies and several sub-contractors co-operated and collaborated to reach the common goal of delivering a municipal master plan for governmental approval. The development of BIM technology, cloud-based services and collaboration tools has changed collaboration between humans, and between humans and machines, which in turn has changed the way large infrastructure projects can be implemented
