Model-based collaboration across disciplines and project players is a key factor in staying competitive, COWI believes. A holistic commitment to BIM has strengthened COWI as one of the Nordics' leading infrastructure design consultancy companies.

Multidisciplinary BIM modelling of the Maland rail project in Sweden provides better project collaboration and results. Geographically spread design engineers in Gävle, Malmö and Sundsvall are collaboratively designing in Novapoint sharing a joint Quadri model for road, rail, terrain and water/sewer.

Triona og Trimbles trafikknettløsning, som er en sentral del av Trafikverkets høyprofilerte ANDA-prosjekt, følger planen og er nå i sluttfasen.

Trimble and Triona are developing a new transport network solution for Trafikverket, the Swedish Transport Administration. The solution is a key part of Trafikverket´s large-scale ANDA project, as is now in its completion phase.

Aalborg stad har startat ett pilotprojekt för att utvärdera projekteringsverksamhet i egen regi. En 4,3 km lång kommunal väg projekteras för närvarande med Trimbles projekteringsverktyg Novapoint, och BIM-plattformen Quadri - samtidigt som kommunen bygger upp egen kompetens inom projektering och 3D-modellering.

30 years of genuine passion for the planning discipline is making efficient time/distance planning resulting in better rail and road projects in Norway – thanks to a real planning veteran and Trimble´s planning tool TILOS.

30 års brennende interesse for planleggingsfaget gjør nå at unik tid/sted- planlegging kan føre til bedre Ringeriksbane- og Rogfast-prosjekter – v.hj.a. Norconsults rådgivernestor Vilhelm Darius Nilsen og Trimbles planleggingsverktøy TILOS.

Following broad political interest to considerably reduce today´s far too long planning time for infrastructure projects, a new R&D project aims to reduce the engineering time by 50%.

Det er bred politisk enighet om å redusere dagens planleggingstid for samferdselsprosjekter. Et nytt FOU-prosjekt har som mål å lede til en halvering av prosjekteringstiden!

The city of Aalborg has started a pioneer project to check out the benefits of in-house 3D design of its own roads. A 4,3 km long municipal road is currently being designed with Trimble´s BIM tools Novapoint and Quadri – whilst simultaneously building up the municipality´s own 3D engineering skills.
