WSP is using OpenBrIM to model steel girder bridges with improved efficiency and accuracy.

Blueprints, like cassette tapes and Blockbuster Video are now relics of the past. The transportation infrastructure industry must undergo a similar paradigm shift to make use Building Information Models (BIM) that have the potential to make bridge design more accurate, fast and dynamic.The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is leading an effort entitled BIM for Infrastructure that enables users to exchange data from one discipline to the next, indicating who is building what, when each part will be built, the materials to be used, and how it will be constructed.
