SUDOP PRAHA was tasked with modernizing Pardubice’s railway junction in the Czech Republic’s East Bohemia. The estimated CZK 2.6 billion project includes increasing the line speed through the junction to up to 160 kilometers per hour, constructing a new intermediate platform and footbridge, modernizing existing platforms, and improving freight train conditions. Due to the surrounding environments’ complexity, the project required BIM workflows and the use of 3D modeling to ensure accurate design and construction information sharing.

The design team used MicroStation to create and regularly update iModels for the contractor so that they had a clear understanding of all activities occurring on site. They also used ProjectWise to create a connected data environment so that the data could be easily accessed by the contractor, investor, and surveying company. The application streamlined the team’s work, including throughout the design review phase, and eliminated any ambiguity of transmitted documents. The project is on track to be completed in 2023.
