  • New pipeline cadastre portal creates transparency and added value in the construction industry

    New pipeline cadastre portal creates transparency and added value in the construction industry

    Zurich has introduced a new, advanced system for visualising infrastructure networks. The canton of Zurich’s pipeline register provides a complete visualisation of all above-ground and underground pipelines responsible for water, wastewater, electricity, district heating, gas and communications. Centralising this data in a single information system makes it much easier to access relevant information for planning, construction and maintenance work.

    Simplified access to information
    Previously, interested parties had to obtain information on pipelines individually from the respective owners or operators – a time-consuming process. With the new pipeline cadastre portal, the canton of Zurich now offers a central point of contact that enables users to access this important data quickly and easily. Over 500 works operating in the canton regularly update their data in this system, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the information.

    Wide range of applications
    The portal serves a wide range of users, including public administrations, construction companies, rescue and security services and private individuals. The precise information on the type and location of pipelines improves planning reliability for construction projects and facilitates the maintenance and expansion of existing infrastructure. Although the portal is not intended to be used for the direct planning of excavation work, it helps to significantly reduce the risk of damage by providing clear documentation of pipe routes.

    Simple operation and access to data
    The pipe cadastre portal is designed to be user-friendly. Users can search by municipality, parcel or street and select the medium of interest. The corresponding pipes are then displayed on the digital map. The data is easily accessible and available in standard formats. Additional information such as ownership and contact details of the relevant works are also provided.

    The portal can be accessed at: https://leitungskataster.zh.ch. Prior registration is required to use the portal.

  • Strabag relies on 3D models in the Fahrweid

    Strabag relies on 3D models in the Fahrweid

    Geroldswil , Weiningen and Limeco are part of the owner of the joint project drainage Fahrweid. As part of the project, a new sewer system is being implemented. For the central shaft structure, the construction company Strabag relies on Building Information Modeling (BIM), as stated in a message . A software is used for the planning, through which, among other things, 3D models of the buildings to be realized are created.

    "We are carrying out the central manhole structure together with the planners from ILF Switzerland using OpenBIM2Field as a pilot project," is how Stijepan Ljubicic, BIM manager at Strabag, is quoted in the message. The 3D models in particular have proven to be helpful. “The visual representation is a big advantage. Plans in 3D are easier to understand than complicated paper plans, especially for people in the team who speak other languages – they understand the 3D model better and faster, ”says foreman Adrian Wildhaber. But changes are also easier to implement than with plans on paper, says site manager Sven Landis, "in the model they are easily generated at the push of a button".
