For this project, a sophisticated and detailed 3D bridge drafting model is linked to static and fatigue models, creating a new type of comprehensive 3D analysis.
Arup is also developing a Bridge Information Model (BrIM) to store, control, communicate and manage information during the complete project lifecycle.
Benefits of using BrIM include tight control and management, reusability of information and improved communication with all project stakeholders. All this will help ensure the highest quality standards throughout the work.
New and existing bridges can be modelled in the BrIM and modelling techniques will be integrated into the system.
