The geotechnical models in Quadri have established the basis
for all technical decisions. "The models have made it easier to
stay in control, and have been of great help to the engineers
when it comes to stake-out data and progress planning," says
geotechnician Kenneth Christiansen.
This is the first project where the Ålborg office of COWI has
provided such detailed information about the ground conditions
into the model. Instead of delivering a stack of drawings, the
geotechnicians at Highway 4 delivered everything in Quadri. It
ensures a common understanding that's not as easy to achieve
working the traditional way.
"We've also shared our thoughts about the design with the
contractor, to get immediate input on its feasibility, and to get an
idea of whether it might be possible to do certain aspects easier
and faster. If something has to be moved because a structure or
a road has changed, then there is a continuous process in place
to take all variables into consideration," geotechnician Kristoffer
Lauridsen explains.
