A BIM approach is essential to increase productivity and efficiency
PORR Group, one of Europe's largest construction companies, is finding new ways of increasing productivity and efficiency in their projects. In Romania, PORR is running a research project to build their competence and pave the way for changing work processes and usage of BIM methodology. Trimble software and equipment is a large part of this, and in this article, PORR tells us about their experience of using Quadri as a common data environment for the project.
Is your road/rail alignment the right alignment?
Whenever during an infrastructure project phase; tender, feasibility study or in the detail design stage, with whatever tool you are using - send the alignment directly back and forth to Quantm through the direct integration with Quadri. Check the realtime quantities, cost and CO2 emissions from construction and future traffic from the alignments you have designed. But is your alternative the optimal alignment considering all constraints?
