What Happened
The Tekla 2020 Global BIM Awards have announced their winners, with the Randselva Bridge in Norway taking the top spot for the best BIM project of 2020. The bridge is the world’s longest to be designed and constructed using a drawing-free, model-based process.
Why It Matters
The winning projects showcase 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. 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.
What's Next
The use of BIM and related technologies is expected to continue to grow in the construction industry, with more projects adopting drawing-free, model-based processes. The winners of the Tekla 2020 Global BIM Awards demonstrate the potential of these technologies to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance collaboration.
