The model-based process also means a more rewarding
working day.
"You get rid of the routine work that you used to spend an awful
amount of time doing. Reinforcement drawings, and endless
revisions of reinforcement drawings, are some of the things that
could be frustrating. By using the digital workflow, whether you
work inTekla or Grasshopper, you acquire a lot of knowledge that
can be reused later," says Øvstebø.
"The interesting thing with projects like this is that, together
with the contractor, you increase the level of knowledge about
constructability, progress and cost," states Bjørvik.
The model-based engineering has contributed to great, non-
traditional solutions developed jointly in a common environment.
The result is that the 4.4 km long Highway 4 project can open
several weeks ahead of schedule.
