Abstract:

The Ruby Line Porto is a new 6.5 km metro project connecting the urban areas of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia in northern Portugal to be built in the upcoming years till 2025.

The authors have been responsible for the design of six main work packages including the new track, new roads, five viaducts, three underpasses, one pedestrian overpass, one top-down tunnel, multiple retaining walls, and the structures of seven new stations and platforms. Due to multiple collaboration needs with other parties, a consistent digital BIM workflow with a common data structure and alignment of sub-models was of utmost importance for delivering the project successfully.

The introduction and application of a new software tool was predestined for this ambitious plan to model the quite different parts of the project in a common digital environment. The paper shows, which techniques offered by the software had to be used for successful modeling.
