Autodesk is helping Norconsult build a new rail station in Norway on time while keeping the old one running.
It’s one thing to build an entirely new rail station from the ground up. But it’s quite another to design and construct a new station on top of an older one – and keep it running for passengers all at the same time.
To prevent flooding of the station that is located near a river in Norway, Norconsult is raising the structure by 40 centimetres. In addition, they are also designing a seven-kilometre tunnel. Both projects are part of an ambitious goal to connect two major cities with a double-track railway in Norway.
“It’s the only part of the intercity project that is on budget and it’s because we used technology in a smart way in the beginning. We can look back now and see the success,” says Thomas Fløien Angeltveit, group manager of digital transformation at Norconsult.

Using Autodesk software, including Autodesk Navisworks, Autodesk Revit, Autodesk AutoCAD and Autodesk Civil 3D, Norconsult can achieve complex phase planning, collaboration, new efficiencies and automation and on-time delivery.
Challenges like climate change, aging infrastructure, increase project complexity and labour shortages are stretching traditional approaches to transportation engineering to their limits. But it’s exactly conditions like those that present the greatest opportunities to embrace new ways of working and challenge the status quo.
Autodesk solutions are helping organisations harness new digital workflows and cloud collaboration capabilities that lead directly to more efficiency and interoperability, resulting in more project wins, improved collaboration, increase design quality and overall, greater ROI.
