“Quentin has seven years of experiences with building contractors and consultancy
companies. Flexible, he worked in France, Romania, South Africa and New Zealand”
Quentin MARQUETTE joined a global design and consultancy
company for natural and built assets in September 2014. From
June to December 2015, he was subcontracted to the SNCF
Réseau regional engineering center to complete a technical
assistance mission. His expertise in OLE projects (DC 1,5kV, AC
1x25kV, AC 2x25kV) and OCL equipment (DC 750V) matched
the needs of the SNCF. To understand the functioning of
worksharing production and Global Design process, he had the
opportunity to relocate in the Global Excellence Center in
Romania. In May 2016 and September 2016, Quentin completed
two volunteer missions in New-Zealand and South Africa. During
the last months of his contract with ARCADIS, he worked on an
important rail digital project 100% BIM. Now, Quentin would be
relocated to United-Kingdom (or North Europe country) for a
short assistance mission.

PROJECT EXAMPLE

* BE CAREFUL – The following slides refers to a 100% BIM methodology using Autodesk collections. A similar result could be completed by other software corporations collections.

[26]
PRELIMINARY STUDY: INPUT DATA NEEDS
§ No-updated topographical
input data from the
customer,
§ Preliminary « quick »
analysis before reception of
official input data,
§ InfraWorks 360 utilization.

[27]
§ Creation of the case by the
Model Builder assistant,
§ Manual selection of our
interest area,
§ Then, model exportation.

[28]
Obtention of:
§ Road data,
§ Railway data,
§ Building data,
§ TIN surface,
§ Adornments.
Thanks to OpenStreetMap.

§ Here, we will try to recover
some textures of the ballast
or the track benches for the
final rendering,
§ Failing to have an orthophoto
from the customer that could
have been dropped on the TIN
surface (DTM),
§ Here, it should be noticed that
data quality is very low: the
geometry of the tracks is not in
conformity with the reality and
the railway standards.

[31]
EXPORTATION OF INFRAWORKS 360 DATA

[32]
TREATING TIN SURFACE IN CIVIL3D
Principal aim:
§ Look the aspect of the site
TIN surface while waiting for
a recent topographic survey,
§ Complete a quick altimetric
analysis,
§ Integrate it in Revit or
Navisworks,
§ After, local remodeling of the
DTM using a more recent
topographic survey (or
simply replace the current
TIN surface with a full new
site survey).

[33]
TREATING TIN SURFACE IN CIVIL3D
Observations:
§ The TIN surface is composed
of a coarse mesh of 3D faces
on our site,
§ We can always refine it later by
integrating up-to-date official
topographic input data,
§ The terrain is altimetrically
globally constant over our
area: the rail modeling will be
easier.

[34]
MODELING WITH REVIT SUITE
§ Current building modeling,
§ Civil3D TIN surface import,
§ Creation of sanitation networks and rail
cable paths (Revit MEP).

[35]
INVENTOR PROFESSIONAL MODELING
§ Creation of 3D objects library,
§ Starting point: SNCF Réseau technical standards,
§ Ending point: validation of the library by the MRT
network owner,
§ Insert the relative information at each component
(type, codification, materials, use, etc.),
§ Family creations and exportation with the Autodesk
Exchange format file (.adsk).

[36]
FUSION 360 MODELING
Creation of complex geometry:
§ Curved switches,
§ Curved stock rail switches,
§ Frog / crossing.

[37]
SWITCH AND CROSSING MODELING
Creation of the global assembly of each component with Inventor Professional.

[38]
FEDERATED DIGITAL MODEL
§ Insertion of each technical digital model in
a federated software (here, first Revit,
then Navisworks),
§ Utilization of BIM360 Team collaborative
tool,
§ See you soon for next stages of the
project: BIM construction and BIM
exploitation.

[39]
CONCLUSION
Rail infrastructures with BIM

[40]
CONCLUSION
§ Need to have trained and qualified BIM Modelers and BIM Coordinators,
§ Added value of multi-software projects (even within a collection of the same software corporation),
§ If each BIM Modeler has its favorite tool, know how to adapt to other software,
§ Numerous software corporations on the market, so increased competition benefit for users,
§ Still few opportunities for exchanges between software corporation, but developments are in progress,
§ Market in full expansion but still lagging behind the building market,
§ The way of working: the first step is the collaboration.
