#Engineering firms collaborate on tunnel innovation. The three engineering companies are joining forces to develop state-of-the-art #tunnel solutions focused on safe, reliable, and enduring #mobility #infrastructure #underground. Engineering consultancies Royal HaskoningDHV, Witteveen+Bos and Ramboll are tier one providers of #design services and consultancy for tunnel projects. They say the collaboration will enable them to provide “world class multidisciplinary consultancy and technical advisory for the whole asset life cycle for tunnels – from early planning and feasibility, through to the final design, asset management and #decommissioning planning and provisions”. “I’m extremely pleased that our three companies have signed up to even closer collaboration. It means that clients will benefit from a comprehensive, state-of-the-art service offering, access to the most qualified tunnel specialists, and an unrivalled global track record spanning over three decades,” said Niek Joustra, director, business unit infrastructure at Royal HaskoningDHV. The trio say the new agreement will open up future project possibilities worldwide and build on the partnering and collaboration on the world’s longest immersed tunnel, the Fehmarnbelt connecting #Denmark with #Germany. “#Innovation is the cornerstone of our collaboration. As with our work on Fehmarnbelt, we will push current engineering standards to overcome complex technical challenges, unlock new opportunities, and create the best solutions in partnership with our clients,” said Rinze Herrema, manager, infrastructure engineering at Witteveen+Bos. Asger Knudsen, executive director transport at Ramboll, said the three companies would also look to lead best practice in #sustainability and resilience in tunnel engineering and design. This includes “a committed emphasis on regenerative design principles to reduce the #environmental impact and increase the life span of existing and new tunnels, as well as the use of eco-friendly and recyclable materials, and a focus on preserving biodiversity”, he said. The co-operation agreement brings together a combined workforce of more than 25,000 engineers.

Traditional design methods can lead to costly errors that surface during construction. Construction modeling offers a powerful solution by creating a virtual replica of the project, allowing teams to identify and address clashes before fabrication begins. This proactive approach minimizes costly rework, accelerates project timelines, and delivers significant cost savings. By harnessing digital thinking and leveraging past experiences, teams can collaborate to simplify even the most complex undertakings. This collaborative approach using construction modeling paves the way for a future of efficient and cost-effective infrastructure projects. #DigitalEngineering DBM Vircon

The South Dock Bridge in London’s iconic Canary Wharf business district showcases the power of infrastructure #digitaltwintechnology in planning and design. The project’s #digitaltwin incorporated the complexity of the subsurface model with the above-ground rendering providing the #team with a clearer view of the logistical challenges in the construction phase. My colleague and Bentley Systems #CPO Michael Campbell says that Digital twins are demonstrating their #power in #infrastructure from planning and design phases through to operations and maintenance.
