The London Bridge project progresses

 

The London Bridge project progresses

 [Posted in LinkedIn 2014]

The London Bridge project progresses as evidenced by the Network Rail video. Network Rail and Costain operate it as a BIM project. The sequence seen played out in the timelapse video could have been tested many times in the virtual environment of the BIM federated model. Construction sequences can be tested and honed in the 4D BIM model improving safety, efficiency, risk, and increasing the probability of handing back on time.

 The original Network Rail article link no longer works and the article does not appear to be in the archive.

There is a video sequence in the first link below.

Note, the shape of the platform canopies was sketched on a scrap of paper, and then created in BIM.
