Hatch Mott MacDonald Enables Collaboration and Reduces Risk during Rail Signal Design
2 PagesSolution is Facilitated by Bentley Promis.e‘s 3D Modeling Capabilities Global consulting engineering firm Hatch Mott MacDonald had used a conventional CAD-based system to design rail signal systems when serving its public and private clients around the world. However, this approach had serious limitations in an industry where building information modeling (BIM), the processes and standards that define it, are becoming a critical success factor. Traditional methods mean designs have no added intelligence or connections to related documents including bills of material (BOM). Designers have no way to model their work in 3D or collaborate on designs, which slows down projects unnecessarily and makes adherence to the required standards a challenge.
