Multiconsult Polska is the chief designer for the S52 expressway, which will provide a collision-free, fast, and safe transport route for residents of Kraków and the surrounding areas. The project includes 13 kilometers of roadway and two tunnels, as well as infrastructure reconstruction in a highly urbanized area with complex topography. To avoid inefficiencies associated with conventional approaches, Multiconsult Polska wanted to implement digital BIM methodologies. However, after struggling to standardize modeling procedures, they needed to establish a connected data environment.

Already a Bentley user, Multiconsult Polska selected OpenRoads Designer and OpenBridge Modeler to create dynamic 3D models for roadway, bridge, and tunnel solutions. They used ContextCapture to create a reality mesh of existing site conditions and OpenBuildings Designer to generate accurate reports and bills of quantity directly from the models. The integrated modeling environment helped coordinate design processes, saving 70% in time compared to traditional methods.
