Jacobs and Network Rail Going Digital
With Bentley
Jacobs and Network Rail are advancing digital and analytical capabilities through a digital twins approach, that by the end of 2021 had delivered more than £2m in savings on the Transpennine Route Upgrade.
What’s the Outcome?
- Bentley’s iTwin technology has enabled 3D design reviews, clash and hazard identification directly on the digital twin, and created a step change in efficiency and collaboration.
- Access to information throughout the project lifecycle has improved by 40 percent helping to create more sustainable design and construction solutions on the program.
- Data-driven decision making is projected to deliver; £2m saving as a result of preventable delay compensation payments, meaning 140 more trains and 20,000 more passengers arriving on time.
