The 155-kilometer Chengdu-Yibin Expressway runs through the central and southern areas of China’s Sichuan province, providing the fastest route between the cities of Chengdu and Yibin. It passes through four other major cities and contains 154 bridges, 17 interchanges, four tunnels, and five service areas. The expressway also strengthens the regional economies. Sichuan Road & Bridge (SRB) needed to integrate artificial intelligence and a cooperative vehicle infrastructure system, follow strict landscape requirements, and construct the project within three years. The pilot project needed to strive to be a safe, convenient, green, and economically modern traffic main artery for the region. With so many controlled works and structures on a long road, they could not execute the design and construction of this estimated CNY 24.6 billion project without reality modeling and BIM software.
SRB developed a construction management platform based on Bentley technology. They optimized drawings and organized material inspection and construction processes to cut costs. They also reduced resource hours by providing greater visibility into construction methods among various disciplines. For example, they used LumenRT to provide a virtual reality perspective on key construction processes and technologies, enhancing the understanding of design intent and improving coordination between the different disciplines. To create a safer roadway, SRB used BIM technology to inspect and correct traffic line-of-sight problems. Using Bentley applications, they saved CNY 23.3 million and cut 124 days off construction.
