Project description:

North, Mckinnon, Centre Roads Bridges and Ormond, Bentleigh Mckinnon train stations

This work is part of the Victorian Government's $2.4b plan to remove at least 20 level crossings by 2018. This project includes removing the level crossings by lowering the rail lines, reconstruction of local stations as well as improvements to the road and public transport connections.

Services Provided:

John Holland approved BIM edge late in the design process with the following issues;

difficulties managing the very fast design and construction program
difficulties managing and keeping track of the many design changes
upskilling a large construction management workforce to over see the work

BIM edge worked with the Project Managers at John Holland to identify a range of key pain points.

With this list of key pain points we then worked with the design and construction to improve each key area.

BIM edge works included

Using a Virtual Reality headset to induct and train the construction managers.
Create a combined BIM and 3D model of the entire project, keep this model up to date throughout the project.
Train the construction managers to view the BIM on an iPad using BIM360 App. This gave the team better knowledge and better decision making power on the project.
Create construction process animation using the model, these educate the team on high risk stages in the construction process and show where potential safety, cost or construction speed improvements can be made. Construction animation videos include, lifting bridge sections into place, station construction, construction of the main cut and rail corridor.
Audit the current design process and provide recommendation to streamline and optimise the sharing of BIM and 3D information.
