BIM Implementation | Digital Construction - Tol Pekanbaru

Summary

The Pekanbaru-Padang Hike Waste Project is a major 254 km toll road connecting Pekanbaru and Padang cities. The project involves the construction of highways and bridges, utilizing advanced software tools like Bentley's OpenRoads and OpenBridge to design and manage construction. Key features include the modeling of road corridors, surface, underground utilities, and bridge structures, ensuring accurate and efficient designs. The project also integrates animated visualizations for better visualization of the construction area, with a focus on precision and optimization of materials such as concrete and rebar.
