Officials hope to avoid issues such as leaks, poor signages
From creating a station to displaying every minute aspect of the design, Chennai Metro Rail Ltd. (CMRL) has used building information modelling (BIM) to develop 3D images of the project before commencing the construction work.
According to CMRL officials, Rudrabhishek Enterprises Ltd. has been given the BIM contract.
A first for CMRL
“The contractor will build a 3D model of all stations, tunnels and viaducts. This will help us avoid any design issue. From the location of a cable to signage inside the stations, these images will display everything. This is the first time we are using three-dimensional modelling and want to prevent all issues that came up in the phase I and phase I extension project,” an official said.
