The Borratino Viaduct is 1,300 meters long, made of reinforced concrete, and features approximately 50 spans. Italferr was tasked with surveying and modeling the structure but faced technical and coordination challenges given its sheer size and shape, requiring numerous technologies to effectively capture and model it. They needed a flexible reality modeling application and a connected data environment.

Italferr selected ContextCapture to process the voluminous amount of multisourced data, point clouds, and photos into an accurate reality mesh, and ProjectWise to enable intelligent exchange of all survey data and models. The flexibility and interoperability of ContextCapture enabled them to work dynamically and digitally, reducing processing times for a large quantity of data that was not possible with other software. OpenRail facilitated integration of BIM information with the reality model to generate a digital twin of the structure that they expect to use for real-time monitoring, maintenance, and asset management in the future.
