ABSTRACT
Complex sustainable infrastructure and climate resilience solutions benefit from three-dimensional modelling; both for Building Information Modelling (BIM) and design. For the Kalvebod Brygge Cloudburst project, developing a workstream where the three-dimensional modelling is linked into the structural analyses through BIM has yielded a number of benefits, including: good design discipline integration, interdisciplinary working and transparent and accessible information with issue tracking. From a structural perspective, this close relationship of structural design and BIM has expedited design; increased design autonomy, reduced human errors, optimising structural performance and allowing changes to be incorporated with lower levels of effort, whilst improving quality assurance. This paper gives an overview of the structural design of the Kalvebod Brygge pumping station shaft, where BIM and numerical models use a common AutoDesk REVIT model.
