SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble
(NASDAQ: TRMB) today announced that SNCF Réseau, the French Railway
Administration, has selected an integrated solution of
Trimble® Quadri and Trimble Connect™ to serve as the
central system within its Enterprise Common Data Environment (CDE).
The integration of these two collaboration solutions will enable
planners, designers, construction teams and project owners to share
information and streamline data workflows.
SNCF Réseau will use the strengths of Trimble Quadri and
Trimble Connect to address the unique requirements of railway
construction and building construction data, respectively. The
combined solution addresses building construction and
infrastructure projects and is designed to facilitate teamwork
between key stakeholders and allow teams to share and receive each
other's work continuously. This connectivity increases productivity
and quality, and project information access from anywhere and at
any time.
The integrated solution provides SNCF Réseau a unique platform
where models and other building information can be shared. An
initial implementation phase expected to last 18 months aims to
test many use cases covering the entire project lifecycle—from
design and construction to operations and maintenance within the
SNCF Réseau IT environment. Sharing project data across teams helps
reduce the risk of data loss and closes the gap between engineering
design tools and systems for managing the organization's
transportation networks.
"We were looking for a solution that would reach BIM level 2 to
enable collaborative model development as a short-term goal. At the
same time, our goal for the long term is to cover all of our
digital assets—from design through project completion and ongoing
operation and maintenance," said Judicaël Dehotin, deputy director
of SNCF Réseau BIM Program. "The combination of Trimble Quadri and Trimble Connect provides an
open BIM platform for us to review and manage all assets of the
project. This will provide great value both during and after
completion of the project, as the model and data collected in
project designs and throughout construction will play an increasing
role in the investment planning for lifecycle costs for the
railway."
"The Common Data environment solution enables owners, planners,
designers, engineers and contractors to all share their
discipline-specific models in a single platform, facilitating tight
and concurrent teamwork between all project stakeholders using
their existing tools," said Nassim
Saoud, EMEA director, Trimble Consulting. "This is a great
example of efficiency and long-term benefit available from the
integration of the building and infrastructure cloud-based BIM
platforms."
