Professional modeling of bridge structures requires more than CAD knowledge. Complex load-bearing structures, variable cross-sections and sophisticated alignments demand specialized engineering expertise. We create precise BIM models for your bridge projects – with understanding of structural details and static relationships.
Bridges are not ordinary structures. Linear load-bearing structures with complex alignments, variable cross-sections and sophisticated connection points demand specialized modeling expertise.
Our structural engineers model all bridge types with the required precision:
Parametric BIM modeling enables exact representation of curved alignments, skewed crossing angles and variable cross-sections. Each component is systematically modeled – from abutment to superstructure.
Most bridges are still planned in 2D. However, modern projects require BIM models. We professionally convert your proven 2D plans into standard-compliant 3D models.
Systematic Conversion of Your Plan Documents
Your floor plans, sections and details form our working basis. Our engineers interpret plans professionally – not just geometrically, but with understanding of structural logic and constructive relationships.
The structured modeling process includes:
The result: A complete BIM model that offers more than pure 3D visualization.
For bridges without current plans, we offer BIM modeling from 3D laser scan data. This method is ideal for as-built documentation and renovation planning.
Millimeter-accurate scan data forms the basis. Our experts systematically extract all components from the point cloud – abutments, piers, superstructures and structural details.
The challenge: Structural elements must be interpreted from surface data. This is where engineering knowledge pays off.
Best results through systematic data utilization: Existing old plans show the original construction, laser scans capture the current condition. We combine both sources into a complete as-built model.
Each component receives all relevant properties. Materials, cross-section values and structural parameters are systematically stored. The hierarchical structure enables efficient evaluations for all project phases.
Special precision for critical details:
Structural engineers model for structural engineers. Continuous quality controls ensure geometric precision and technical correctness. Each model is systematically checked and compared with the source data.
The documented model quality gives you confidence for all further planning steps.
