The downtown area of Tampere – the largest inland city in the Nordic region – has been transformed through the construction of an extensive residential, commercial and entertainment complex: The Tampere Deck and Arena.
BIM tools were essential in overcoming several major engineering challenges.
As its name suggests, the development rests on a new 20,000 m2 elevated deck constructed above the railway lines that connect Tampere to the rest of Finland. This feat of engineering is an exemplary way of reusing space to create a new city neighborhood, but it wasn’t easy to construct.
