Designed to showcase global structural construction projects that use Tekla building information modeling (BIM) solutions, the 2020 Tekla Global BIM Awards winners were recently announced. Narrowing down the winners for the nine categories was difficult, as the 135 submissions were all impressive feats.
“The winning projects achieve the perfect combination of using technology in ground-breaking ways and having the courage to push the envelope in search of a smarter, more efficient design and construction process,” said Aarni Heiskanen, selection committee member. “The Randselva Bridge, in particular, showcases the efficiencies that can be gained with parametric modeling and cross-team collaboration as well as the creativity and structural possibilities that modeling technology brings to incredibly complex and large projects.”
This year’s winner of the best BIM project was the Randselva Bridge near Hønefoss, Norway, which also holds the record as the longest bridge constructed via a drawing-free, model-based process that uses only a 3D parametric model for…
