Applicable Functions	Logistics & Transportation Quality Assurance
Use Cases	Construction Management Infrastructure Inspection
Challenge	Highways England, a UK government company, is responsible for the operation, maintenance, and improvement of England’s motorways and major A roads. The UK government has committed to enhancing the UK road network, including Smart Motorways, Complex Infrastructure, and Regional Infrastructure Programmes, to mitigate the impact of congestion on roads and motorways, which is currently costing the UK economy £9bn annually. To manage and expedite the delivery of these complex programmes, Highways England identified the need for a single platform to control project information. They sought a solution through the UK government’s Digital Marketplace and G Cloud, which would allow them to demonstrate compliance with their internal IAN184-2016 standards and industry standards including PAS1192-2 as required by the 2016 government BIM mandate.

Solution	Highways England selected the BC platform to manage and control information across major projects. The platform ensures consistency of information delivery through the use of standard naming conventions and improved collaboration across the supply chains. A Digital Component Library ensures the quality of key information across programmes and projects. The BC platform also facilitates the bulk import of multiple files, accelerating the upload and verification of information from the supply chain. In addition to PAS1192, BC also holds Health and Safety related information about Highways England’s assets, supporting the requirements and obligations of CDM 2015. GroupBC’s Professional Services team’s flexible implementation approach ensured they met the tight timetable required for the rapid mobilisation solution. Read More Log in to view content
