Operational Impact
The implementation of Bentley’s open, collaborative design applications and iTwin technology allowed HDEC to digitalize data and workflows, establishing a digital twin and a unified construction management platform. This facilitated urban spatial data collection and visual planning of the surroundings, minimized the impact on the citizens of Shaoxing, and facilitated synergetic design. The digital twin allowed HDEC to analyze construction in real-time, resolving more than 100 potential issues that could have negatively impacted the construction schedule and the cultural heritage of the city. By leveraging cloud computing, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), and virtual reality in a connected data environment, HDEC has realized the full value and potential of its data to support improved decision-making. The successful experiences of this project can be replicated and applied to rail and transit construction in other lines and even other cities. | |
