Building Bridges with BIM - Wednesday 7th October 2015

For the first event of our Autumn series, we were joined by five members of the AECOM Mott MacDonald JV team who are working on the technically challenging Ordsall Chord railway improvement scheme.

  1. This project is being delivered through a multi-disciplinary alliance to address the complexities of the new Ordsall Chord support structures, the widening of existing brick arch viaducts, design of both precast and insitu concrete elements, detailing of steel structures using fabrication software and innovative ways of providing deliverables to the client.
  5. Our chair for this evening's event is Jill Willoughby, Sales and Marketing Coordinator at Tekla (UK) and thinkBIM steering group member.

  24. The Network Rail Aim - to have all their major assets to be delivered on a common platform with a view towards creating the the Digital Railway Asset Management. As such their requirement is for all data (inc models and drawings) to be fully editable with links back to the datasources (e.g. where 2D drawings are created from 3D models, they also require the 2D extraction models to be saved such that drawings can be refreshed if they ever update the 3D model).
