BIM for Design, Construction and Asset Management in Railways

BIM engineers are automating design-build processes for a variety of industries, including education, healthcare, sports, residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure, using precise data. Building Information Modeling forms the cornerstone of the AEC industry's digital transformation in several facades like building design, floor plans, house blueprints, airport infrastructure, industrial plant design and process layout. And, railway is not an exception in this regard.

What is BIM in Railway?

A combination of collaborative modeling and data-sharing techniques for electronic models make up BIM in the railway industry. The system enables the secured management of data pertaining to the assets of Network Rail. Additionally, BIM adds value over the course of a project.

Benefits of Building Information Modeling for railway projects:

• Collaboration

• Time savings

• Cost Optimization

• Network conflict avoidance

• Facility management & optimization

• Improved work quality

• Prefabrication

Uses of Building Information Modeling in Railway:

• Producing drawings and documentation

• Interference management

• Analysis & simulation

• Quantity take-off

• Code Adherence 

• Visualization

• Tendering

• Procurement
