Minnesota DOT and Collins

Fast Facts

• A 210-meter section of the 1,182-meter Morandi Bridge collapsed in 2018, resulting in a number of lost lives and disrupted transportation.
• The large, complex redesign grew to include 34
  different models that had to combine seamlessly
  into a federated model.
• Italferr needed to complete the design in only three
  months, which caused the project team to implement
  a BIM methodology.

ROI

• The BIM methodology improved clash detection, accelerated design work, and created a seamless workflow.
• The team used Bentley applications to create 3D
  models, meeting the tight schedule while maximizing durability, increasing energy efficiency, and ensuring road traffic safety.
• SYNCHRO Pro’s 4D construction visualization allowed designers to pinpoint critical issues in advance, creating
  a faster, more efficient construction schedule.
