BIM implementation schedule and ongoing BIM projects.

Get an overview of BIM implementation at SBB and study examples of infrastructure, real estate, and mixed projects.

BIM implementation schedule.

The infographic shows the stages in which SBB is introducing the BIM method. 2024, stage 0, preparation: SBB puts construction projects out to tender with BIM. 2025, stage 1, planning: SBB plans construction projects with BIM. 2027, stage 2, building: SBB realizes construction projects with BIM. 2029, stage 3, commissioning: SBB commissions and completes construction projects with BIM. 2031, stage 4, manage: BIM makes it possible to measure and analyze condition data and thus maintain the systems in a data-driven manner in the long term.

SBB is introducing BIM in several stages:

  • 2024: Stage 0, preparation. SBB puts construction projects out to tender with BIM.
  • 2025: Stage 1, planning. SBB plans construction projects with BIM.
  • 2027: Stage 2, construction. SBB implements construction projects with BIM.
  • 2029: Stage 3, commissioning. SBB commissions and finalises construction projects with BIM.
  • 2031: Stage 4, operation. BIM makes it possible to measure and analyse condition data and thus maintain the systems in a data-driven manner in the long term.

Ongoing BIM projects.

SBB is already planning numerous projects using BIM.

The infographic shows a total of 48 locations where SBB projects are already being implemented with BIM. 34 of these are infrastructure projects and the remaining 14 are real estate projects.

Examples of real estate projects: Letzi Turm building Zurich.

The Letzi Turm is a twin tower block in Zurich’s Altstetten neighbourhood. It offers space for 177 rental flats in two towers on 22 storeys. The ground floor also features commercial spaces and studios.

SBB consistently relied on the BIM method for the construction of the Letzi Turm from the preliminary project phase and drew up a BIM strategy. The aggregated data is now also used in the operation of the Letzi Turm.
