Operational Impact
The use of Bentley applications, PLAXIS and RAM Concept, enabled WSP to successfully complete the design and analysis of the complex design elements of the Principal Tower. The detailed analysis of soil movement and the design of the ground floor slab demonstrated to Network Rail that the development would not harm the underground tunnels or affect operations, leading to the approval of the project. The optimized design also reduced the use of reinforcement materials by 60% and lowered the amount of temporary works needed during construction, leading to cost savings in both material and labor. The successful completion of this project underscores the importance of innovative software solutions in tackling complex engineering challenges. | |
