The challenge

Coordinating a mega-project's vast scale of data

The Fehmarnbelt project, with its vast scale and multitude of 3D models and drawings, is a testament to the digital prowess and technical expertise of the teams involved. The complexity therefore demands effective coordination among disciplines, sub-contractors, and Femern A/S, with real-time access to precise, current information as the foundation of efficient, seamless coordination.

Vast scale, vast data

Thousands of models and drawings also span a mega infrastructure project connecting two countries.

Many stakeholders, one project

So disciplines, sub-contractors and Femern A/S all need to coordinate from the same current picture.

Precision has no margin

Moreover, an 18 km immersed tunnel leaves no room for outdated or conflicting information reaching the field.

Indeed, real-time access to precise and current information is crucial, highlighting the project's dedication to efficiency and seamless coordination.

The solution

How Vitus keeps every stakeholder current

In this digital environment, Vitus is a significant contributor, providing instant access to up-to-date information as a centralized source of data for every stakeholder, regardless of their level of BIM expertise.

1

Centralized real-time access

As a result, Vitus becomes the centralized source of up-to-date information for the whole project.

No specialist required to find the right drawing.
2

On-site via BIM-Totems

Teams use BIM-Totems on site to quickly access authorized data and geometry during execution.

Then the model reaches the point of work, not just the office.
3

One current picture for all

Whatever a stakeholder's BIM expertise, they see the same current models and drawings.

Advanced digital tools, without the advanced learning curve.
Key learnings

What the Fehmarnbelt immersed tunnel shows about scale and coordination

Scale multiplies the value of one source of truth

The bigger the project, the more every discipline benefits from working off the same current model.

On-site access changes execution speed

BIM-Totems also bring the model to the point of work, cutting the loop between question and answer.

Accessibility broadens who can use BIM data

As a result, non-specialists get the same clarity as BIM experts, without needing to become one.
