Using building information modelling for planning a high-speed rail project in Norway

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.
