A one-stop shop for planning and building.
At the end of 2019, with the award of the contract for the “SBB Points Renewal 2020–2024” project, Sersa Switzerland won an important contract on the way to new cooperation models. It includes the planning (preliminary project through to commissioning, SIA phases 31-53) and the building of around 400 points in a variety of points renewal projects throughout Switzerland.
One of the greatest challenges is to carry out the many projects in a coordinated and efficient way through the various phases. From preliminary to build-ready construction project planning and from build through to commissioning. In consultation with SBB, Sersa decided in favour of full BIM planning. Particularly in the area of planning and BIM modelling, the Sersa BIM team takes on a significant part of the project planning and brings in its expertise from developments over recent years to optimum effect.
Because of the many parallel planning processes in different phases of the project, Sersa attached a great deal of value to the implementation of a reliable quality assurance system. For example, a large number of “quality gates” ensure that each next process step is only possible if the requirements specified jointly with the client are met in the BIM model. The thus clearly definable model quality can be seen by the client in real time and guarantees maximum transparency.
With this project, Sersa Switzerland proves that it can offer the client a significant added value with the “Plan and Build” concept.
