The Worlds Largest REVIT project to date

Expanding the Panama Canal

It’s been called one of the seven wonders of the modern world. A century after it first opened, the Panama Canal continues to be a vital shortcut for global commerce – but now, almost half the world’s cargo ships are too large to fit through it.

This year, MHW Global’s redesign will change that.

Revit Model

 The Project

Expanding existing channels:

Widen -   21.3m / 70ft

Deepen -  5.4m / 18ft

Lengthen - 121m / 400ft

Create a new channel, with 3 new lock chambers on each side. Raise the maximum operating level of Gatun Lake, the primary water source for the locks

RTC Europe 2016

TMS recently attended this year’s RTC Europe conference held in Budapest, it was a resounding success, this is a little ironic that some refer to Budapest as the birthplace of BIM. In 1987 Graphisoft’s "Virtual Building" concept, ArchiCAD became regarded by some as the first implementation of BIM.   (Wikipedia’s entry here.)

BIM: a mindset, not a software package

Budapest is the capital and the largest city of Hungary and one of the largest cities in the European Union. Budapest became a single city occupying both banks of the river Danube with the unification of Buda with Pest.  

With “Collaboration” being a key part of implementing BIM the unification of software platforms and interfaces is a common task. No matter how big the divide we seek out new ways to bridge the gap to the concept of ‘one single model’.
