Case Study: Deutsche Bahn modernizes rail stations with Cintoo

Deutsche Bahn modernizes Hamburg Hauptbahnhof for 550,000 daily passengers with Cintoo

Deutsche Bahn, the operator of Germany's busiest railway station, Hamburg Hauptbahnhof, faced the complex challenge of modernizing its aging and highly congested infrastructure without disrupting continuous operations. To address this, they turned to vendor Cintoo and its cloud-based platform to manage high-fidelity 3D laser scan data, which was essential for their BIM and digital inventory recording processes.

The solution implemented by Cintoo enabled Deutsche Bahn to upload, process, and visualize precise scan data in the cloud. This facilitated real-time collaboration across teams, scan-to-BIM alignment for clash detection, and provided the foundation for a data-rich digital twin. The results included a significant reduction in project risk and cost overruns by validating construction plans against accurate as-built conditions before physical work began.
