Complementary construction on a busy railway station used by 50,000+ passengers every day, project size and continuous railroad traffic present the Tripla construction site with challenges that are easier to overcome with good software, collaboration and open BIM approach. BIM-based workflows reduce costs and visualizations making it easier to understand the end result.
Tripla in Central Pasila is one of Finland's largest construction sites – actually, five construction sites put together. The gross area of the site totals 350,000 m2, equaling 50 soccer fields, and more than 1,000 people are working on the site during the most intensive construction phase.
