Chenab Bridge is part of the new Baramulla—Srinagar—Udhamptur railway in northern India, crossing the river Chenab in the Kashmir valley. It is one of the tallest and longest-spanning railway bridges of its kind in the world.
Tekla Structures has been in use from the beginning of the ongoing project, which has greatly benefitted from the software; all structures, temporary cables and related anchoring towers have been designed using Building Information Modeling (BIM). BIM has also been utilized on site for erection sequence planning, geometry and quality control, and the workshop drawings and CNC data are sourced directly from the model. The contractor employs the models in close co-operation with the designer, and the third-party inspector has made use of it in the reviewing process.
