What if you could do away with spreadsheets, reduce time trying to find information and reduce errors from manually moving from one system to another? What if you could connect all Stakeholders to the same data set to improve the communication and collaboration on projects with real-time relevancy? Advancements with mobile and Cloud computing mean that you are now able to access project data from anywhere. It may also mean that you’re not best placed to take advantage of what some in the precast industry have termed “Offsite’s Second Coming”.Īn integrated system would allow you to streamline all production and project processes into one controlled BIM dataset. If you’re not fully integrating all parts of the process, then the answer must be no. But are you able to make the most of your resources (software, personnel, time and plant) without combining production planning project management and the associated data into one system? Precast firms are working in a controlled factory environment, which is ideal for the principles of design for manufacture and assembly (DfMA).ĭesign is a key part of the process, of course. – Precast is perfectly placed to exploit BIM, says Matthew Butcher, at British Precast. The relocated site is set to open in middle January 2018.With the rise of digitisation advancements in Building Information Modelling (BIM), many consulting engineers and precast businesses are moving from 2D to 3D design of precast concrete elements. However, the bamboo train is being rebuilt near Wat Banan in order to cater to the local tourism industry.

In October 2017 the bamboo train was no longer available in the original form due to the national effort to rebuild the rail line from the Thai-Cambodia border town Poipet to Phnom Penh. In 2006 the BBC reported that there was only one scheduled service a week and it ran at not much more than walking pace. The rest of the network, originally built by the French colonial government, is largely abandoned, after the Khmer Rouge regime effectively shut it down. A scheduled service run by the Government also operates, but is slower at 30 km/h around 18 mph. The trains run at speeds of up to 50 km/h (31 mph) on the metre gauge tracks around Battambang and Poipet. Lonely Planet describes it as "Cambodia's bamboo train".
