Balm Bridge Meiringen
The new girder bridge in Meiringen is designed as a three-span integral frame bridge for a pressurized flood discharge. The superstructure consists of a longitudinally prestressed slab cross-section. The foundations are on bored piles.
At the beginning of the project, a digital terrain model was created, which served as the basis for the alignment and modelling of the optimized road course. Basler & Hofmann modeled the new 65-meter-long bridge with a main span of 34 meters. The various specialist models were coordinated using the open IFC file format on a cloud-based collaboration platform, which allowed the foreman, planners and site managers to access the same up-to-date data at all times.
The canton of Bern used the project as a pilot project for the use of BIM in infrastructure construction. The findings are being incorporated into the cantonal BIM strategy.
