About the Belgian RailwaysSome figures and background information

Map of the Belgian

Railway Network

• Infrabel (Infrastructure owner)

• 3595 km lines

• 12609 bridges, tunnels, etc.

• 1 Billion € investments (2013)


Customer Case - TUCRAIL


Project management, design and

execution of rail infrastructure projects.

• Subsidiary of the Belgian national railway company (Infrabel)

• Employs over 1000 people

• Turnover ~100 Million € (2013)


Design Department

7 different

dicsiplines(~250 engineers)

10 different

Software

3D Design

since 2007

BIM since

2012


Disciplines were collaborating

but sequentially

Building combined 3D model =

very time consuming and

already out-of-date once

produced

Project’s info still in multiple

files and formats

Why BIM?

Data loss & risk of

exchanging wrong

information


BIM Solution ArchitectureQuadriDCM & Novapoint 19DCM Base


Gather all data into one LIVE engineering model

Easy to use (downsize implementation impact)

Strong visualization & data analyses

Handle a process with many disciplines

Real multi-user environment on objects level
