Case Study: Arup achieves faster, more collaborative rail design with 12d Model from 12d Solutions

Arup - Customer Case Study

Arup, a global firm of designers and engineers, faced the challenge of designing the Parramatta Light Rail project. The tight deadlines and the client's requirement for a digital delivery demanded a move away from their traditional 2D, paper-based methods, which caused inefficiencies and rework. To solve this, Arup implemented a Building Information Modeling (BIM) approach using the 12d Model software from 12d Solutions.

By using 12d Model as a single digital source, Arup improved collaboration across disciplines and automated design verification checks in 3D. This solution saved hundreds of hours of work, reduced drafting to a single person, and provided clear 3D and 4D visualizations for the client and construction team. The project set a new standard for Arup's future work, demonstrating to the client the significant benefits of a fully digital engineering process delivered by 12d Solutions.
