EPISODE 4: Archiving CrossrailThe Crossrail Act, giving permission for what is now called the Elizabeth Line to be built operated and maintained, received Royal Assent in July 2008. Over the next 10 years Europe’s biggest infrastructure project at £14.8 billion has integrated the information developed from over 25 main design contracts, 30 advanced work contracts and 60+ logistics and main works contracts. Crossrail embraced BIM (Building Information Modelling) with a single set of linked applications shared with contractors across all phases of the project. The challenge for the archive team was to preserve a heavily interlinked dataset without having to retain legacy software. Join this webinar to discover more about the digital preservation challenges within a major infrastructure project, preserving BIM, and the politics of managing data from multiple parties. Speakers:
