Fun Facts About Randselva Bridge
The Randselva Bridge in Norway is not only an infrastructural masterpiece, but also a milestone in the digital transformation of construction. With a length of 634 meters, it is the longest bridge in the world designed entirely using Building Information Modeling (BIM), without relying on conventional 2D drawings.
The bridge was built over the Randselva River and has been in the spotlight of the civil engineering and architecture world for its successful integration of BIM technology throughout all stages of the project, from planning to execution.
International Recognition
Its technological excellence made Randselva Bridge the best BIM project and best infrastructure project at the Tekla BIM Awards 2020. This is proof that the application of BIM not only improves efficiency, but also drives quality and innovation in large-scale construction.
Technical Specifications
- Length: 634 meters
- Structure consists of approximately 200,000 steel reinforcement bars
- Supported by 250 post-tensioning cables, which help maintain the stability and strength of the bridge
Role of BIM
The application of BIM was key to the successful construction of the Randselva Bridge. Here are some of the significant BIM contributions in this project:
-
Primary Communication Platform
BIM was used as the main communication platform between the design and construction teams, replacing the role of traditional 2D drawings.
-
BIM enables clash detection between structural elements from the design stage, avoiding major errors during construction.
-
With 4D BIM (time) and 5D BIM (cost) technologies, planning becomes more accurate and efficient, minimizing resource wastage.
-
Design Flexibility
The design process becomes more flexible and adaptive to changes, facilitating quick decisions in case of revisions.
-
Global Collaboration
BIM facilitates collaboration between international teams in real-time, accelerating coordination without geographical boundaries.
