Trimble has announced the winners of its Tekla Global Building Information Modeling (BIM) Awards, a biennial competition showcasing the world\u2019s most impressive structural construction projects that use Tekla solutions. <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The winner of the best BIM project of 2020 is the Randselva Bridge in Norway,\u00a0which\u00a0holds the distinction of being the world\u2019s longest bridge to date that has been\u00a0designed and constructed using a drawing-free, model-based process, and illustrates the benefits of using a broad range of Trimble technologies.<\/p>\n

Since 1999, the Tekla Global BIM Awards have welcomed\u00a0projects that exhibit innovation and push the boundaries of structural engineering and BIM. Over 135 projects were entered in this year\u2019s competition, which included winners of Tekla regional BIM Awards from 36 countries. The winners were selected by a committee of industry experts that included\u00a0Burcu Akinci<\/strong>, professor of civil and environmental engineering and associate dean for research at the College of Engineering at\u00a0Carnegie Mellon University; Anders Carl\u00e9n<\/strong>, editor in chief of Byggindustrin and Fastighetsnytt,\u00a0Sweden\u2019s\u00a0top construction and real estate publications;\u00a0Aarni Heiskanen<\/strong>, a construction innovation agent and architect, consultant and business software developer; and\u00a0Michael Evans<\/strong>, an industry veteran and director of Trimble\u2019s detailing and fabrication segment.<\/p>\n

The selection committee <\/a>evaluated the projects based on an assessment of collaboration, implementation, innovation, and constructability.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe winning projects achieve the perfect combination of using technology in ground-breaking ways and having the courage to push the envelope in search of a smarter, more efficient design and construction process,\u201d said\u00a0Aarni Heiskanen, selection committee member.\u00a0\u201cThe Randselva Bridge, in particular, showcases the efficiencies that can be gained with parametric modeling and cross-team collaboration as well as the creativity and structural possibilities that modeling technology brings to incredibly complex and large projects.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Tekla Global BIM Awards 2020 winners are:<\/p>\n
