To tackle the challenge, an interdisciplinary team was set up across
national borders: COWI's Danish geotechnicians in Ålborg were
responsible for investigating the ground conditions and the team
responsible for structures was located in Trondheim, Oslo and
Kristiansand, Norway.
"We use the resources that are best suited for the job, regardless
of where they are located. This requires good collaboration tools,"
Bjørvik points out.
On the project, Trimble Quadri was used as a collaboration
solution both by the designer and the team from contractor
Hæhre-Isachsen on the execution side.
"Quadri is a fantastic tool for us. The model-based way of working
also makes the internal collaboration easier," says Bjørvik. "Having
the design model in Quadri facilitated the work of finding the
right solutions and making adjustments along the way. This is
particularly valuable when you choose a non-traditional approach,
as we did in this case."
