3. Agenda
 Film – «Why BIM» and «More Sustainable Infrastructure»
 Challenges and Demands
 Ski Jernbanestasjon
 History
 Lessons learnt
 Examples from Ski station (model and drawings)
 Film

4. Why BIM?
New way of working together.

5. Challenges and Demands

6. Infrastructure Projects
- Two cultures, - different methods and tools.
 We need both Infrastructure Design and Building Design working together.

8. 2012
Demands from our customers: BIM in Infrastructure
 The Norwegian National Rail Administration
 The Norwegian Public Roads Administration

9. Inspiration
More Sustainable Infrastructure?

10. Project presentation - Ski railway station

11. Ski Station
 Is located 24 km south of Oslo Central Station
 Is part of Follobane project.
 The entire project from Oslo S will significantly go underground and is
estimated to cost 11.6 billion NOK (13 billion SEK).
 Together with the existing path on the route this will cause a increase in
capasity on the line.
 Following line designed for 250 km / h and can be the first stage in a
possible high-speed rail to Sweden and Europe.
 Why is this project so demanding?

12. 2006 Multiconsult signed a contract with The Norwegian National Rail Administration
The contract states that Multiconsult actively use 3D modelling (Nobody talked
about BIM at this point.)
Most engineering disciplines designing in 2D CAD. 3D models are mainly used for
visualization and film.
2008 Multiconsult delivers services drawings but the mission is stopped. According
to the contract delivered paper drawings and 2 movies made in Virtual Map.

Looking back at the Project Ski railway station

13. 2009 The projects starts again. Meanwhile Multiconsult started an internal
development project called «4D In Multiconsult», based on a BIM mindset.
 Ski station is now going to modelled in 3D. All disiplines starts to model with BIM in
mind.
 Multiconsult chooses Navisworks as a collaboration tool. In the project this is used
for clashcontrols and multidisiplinary coordination.

16. The project has many temporary structures and temporary
tracks changes.

17. What was the status in 2009
 Few technical disciplines working in 3D
 Some technical disciplines had not software for 3D modeling
 Few knew how to produce drawings from 3D models
 No one could get out interdisciplinary sections from 3D model (2-3months
testing showed that Revit could do this but we had to wait a whole delivery
because we had to give priority to produce drawings on the old method.)
 Few modeled in terms of phases and time system implementation.
 Few modeled temporary structures and installation.
 Hard to know the quality of the objects in the models.
 Weak interdisciplinary coordination in model considering that technical
disciplines should work within the same area in the model.

18. 2009 Interdisciplinary sectional drawings.
Manually drawn on the basis of 2D plane drawings.

19. 2010 Interdisciplinary sectional drawings.
Geometry from 3D models. All other information drawn manually.

20. Where are we now in 2012?
2D to 3D and 4D
 All disciplines
 working in 3D
 working for a common working method (BIM / CAD manual)
 working with time on their objects (4D)
 All subjects have a conscious relationship to construction technical execution
 projecting full temporary structures
 using object-based modeling, information on all objects
 relate to interdisciplinary coordination and control of a common interaction model
 All geometry on the drawing comes from the 3D model
 More professionals can work in one single database file
 New methods have been incorporated into the all project deliverables and conducted by the
same people who have been responsible for the model and drawing production

21. 2011 Interdisciplinary sectional drawings.
As much information as possible from the discipline models.

22. Why use software intended for architects
as the main tool in a railway project?
“Because the software supports the way we want to work”

23. Phase Filter in the software allows us to constantly keep check
on what type of objects that are dependent on each other.

25. Screenshots from the design tool Revit.

28. All items to be placed into any of the discipline models must constantly be checked
against the final design but not least all temporary structures and installations

30. Demolish (RED) – Temporary (YELLOW) – New (GREEN) - Existing

37. Interdisciplinary Sections Drawings, existing - new – temporary – demolished
As much information as possible from the discipline models

43. Where are we heading?
“We can use new software that is linked to the
architect's design software. This gives us great
opportunities for innovation in transport and
infrastructure projects.”

44. Visualization is an important part of communication and
decisions.

45. Future benefits for the engineering group.
 Quantities directly from the model
 Cost and price linked to the objects in the model
 Description, Process Codes
 Microsoft Project, project planning
 Product data to objects in the model
 FM (Facility Management) data to objects in the model
 Link drawings, pdf, etc to objects
 Link checklists to objects and model
 Set the status of all objects in the model

46. Future benefits for the client and contractor
 Drawings and model to Webserver
 Drawings and model exported to smartphones and tablets
 Drawings and models linked to GPS to see where you are in the model and
drawing when you go on the site
 Using Augmented Reality at the construction site, view model in place on
site
 Using Augmented Reality on drawings in meetings

47. Future opportunities for simulation and analysis
 Running trains on the tracks to control visibility
 Simulate evacuation/people traffic of trains and platforms
 Simulation of parking needs and traffic analysis.
 Passanger traffic in rush hour linked to the timetables for trains and buses
 Publish online, allowing users access to a game that they can download
and walk around in?

48. Exporting engineering models to new applications that improve the
customer access to information and visualization in our BIM models.

49. All drawings and models available directly on the smart phone or tablet
anytime and anywhere.

50. Augmented reality allows you to view 3D model both linked to the
drawings, and out on the construction site terrain.

51. Taking pictures with smartphone on the site that automatically
transforms into 3D objects that can be taken back into the model
instead of laser scanning.

52. Exporting models for game engines and futher on to the
smartphone and tablets. Free app - Live on iPhone
