Devastating consequences for the construction industry when data coordination of drawings does not work
After more than 80 years in operation, one of Sweden's major hubs for different modes of transport is worn out and needs to be demolished and rebuilt from scratch. At the same time, the area will be adapted to meet the needs of today's and tomorrow's residents. With a large number of designers, engineers, BIM consultants and others involved, the need for a platform for data coordination between the various consultancies is great. In the past, various web-based tools have been used for this purpose, but the experience with these tools is that the consultants often get errors or an expired version of the files they are trying to update. This in turn results in different versions of the same file being used and drawings and reality not matching. If an escape door is built in the wrong place or a load-bearing wall ends up in the wrong place, the consequences can be devastating and very costly.
How can the consultancy share information with internal and external resources without risking access to outdated files?
Solution:
Storegate - Access, collaborate and share shared files with full control.
- Work with Storegate clients internally and invite external users via the web interface (to access and share files).
- Work in all file formats and sizes (including CAD, CAM, etc.).
- External users do not need a license or download programs/clients.
- Documents, sketches, images, etc. can come from any party.
- Always access to the latest version of the file for everyone involved and has built-in support for per-user file locking.
