The State of Design & Make Special Edition: Spotlight on Rail

New research shows that the top two challenges rail industry leaders and experts face are talent and sustainability. 31% percent of respondents in the civil engineering sector said that attracting, training, and retaining the right people is currently their top challenge, while 26% said sustainability is a top challenge they are facing today. Finally, data management is also a key issue—projects are becoming increasingly complex, making it difficult to handle the vast amounts of data needed across disciplines and time zones. In order to face these challenges, rail leaders and experts are turning to digital transformation. Read the special edition report to learn more.

Solutions to support rail transformation

BIM for civil engineering

BIM is the foundation of digital transformation. By equipping every stakeholder to make more informed decisions across the project lifecycle, the BIM process helps optimize workflows, improve operational efficiency, and reduce project risks.Using BIM, teams can successfully account for real-world conditions for improved model accuracy, all while collaborating seamlessly across teams.

Put project information in geospatial context

BIM and GIS cloud collaboration makes it easy for teams to plan, design, and collaborate on project information with real-world context. BIM data fuels GIS. GIS informs BIM. This has significant implications for project teams, including improved design review, visualization, and exploration. Teams can also rapidly map and manage issues as they emerge, and by connecting documentation to relevant ArcGIS features, they can securely and efficiently track project updates.

Digital project delivery

Digital project delivery (DPD) is a cloud-based collaboration process that lets you connect people, data, and processes across the project lifecycle in a common data environment. Integrate live, multi-discipline data, including BIM and GIS and open the door to automation and workflows that improve accuracy, connect dispersed teams and enable real-time collaboration. DPD brings you the right insights for projects decisions for the railways of the future.
