1. The BIM ready 3D OHLE design platform
Thank you for your time
Thank you to the organisers for inviting us to present as the New Technology Showcase slot.
I am …
Jon is …
Who are ETS?
Balfour Beatty Rail ETS – Engineering, Technology, Solutions
Full range from Data Acquisition, analysis, storage, presentation and engineering design solutions.
To demonstrate our pedigree of delivering engineering solutions to technically challenging problems I will outline a couple here…

2. TrueTrak ClearRoute TrueTrak
Intertial & Optical via application lasers & cameras track geometry acquisition solution.
First principles design including electronics, laser & optics, software (firmware & desktop).
In service across the entire NR measurement fleet.

3. TrueTrak
ClearRoute
ClearRoute as used by most of the UK’s gauging engineers & consultancies is a modern professionally designed, developed & managed engineering decision support system.
Provides clearance calculations between vehicles &/or vehicles & structures by application of mathematical modelling of vehicle dynamics for given track geometry against a measured structure profile.
One foundation on which the safe operation of all mainline vehicles freight & passenger is based.
So that is the breeding ground for RED which we will now share with you.

4. What is Rail Electrification Designer?
Code name RED – 2 years.
PCWorld thingy…..
Off the shelf also implies it’s lightweight, comes on a cd, can be installed by granny?

5. It’s off-the-shelf, easy to use SOFTWARE
Expertise in manually designing OHLE and encapsulated in RED software

6. It models OHLE
Expertise in manually designing OHLE and encapsulated in RED software

7. In 3D Choose your way of designing.
But either way you get 3D anyway, we will show you this in the live demo.

8. Transparently delivers BIM
Insult BIM engineers, people still struggle with understanding BIM.
We’ll explore later that BIM isn’t software, the point to stress here is that RED does BIM for you, there’s no effort, there’s not extra training, there’s not even any understanding needed.
IT DOES BIM.

9. Configurable for ANY design range
We’ll demonstrate with Series 2 today, and highlight how easy it would be to use alternative ranges.
This is MASSIVE! ELFF is locked, PROL needed 2.7Million cells. Both were poorly designed, I mean there basic principle models we badly designed and planned.
We’ve designed RED from the ground up to be configurable, to change, to be adaptable.
You want OCS3…okay!
Not only that but we can even give you the ability to make changes to the design library within your own office. Use the CLM to do it. Add foundations, booms, masts!

10. And ANY project CAD standards
Risk to project is delivering non-compliant, non-consistent, deliverables.
Companies waste so much money on this one. This is one for the commercial bods. How much time and money does it cost to arse around with making sure draughtsman and engineers are sticking to the CAD standards.
How much effort does it take to correct non-compliancies during and after a design is complete.
Don’t even think about it with RED, everything that it produces is right. First time!

11. Why should I use Rail Electrification Designer?
Efficient & Lean
Promotes Quality
Simplifies BIM
If those were the features, these are the benefits.
It is fundamentally about making things easier and saving money! Remember that!
LEAN:
Right first time engineering - Cost saving
Rapid change – collaborative, signal sighting review etc.
Reduction in error - You’re not arsing around with extra XML files or whatever crap Atkins have got
Single source of truth - YOU ONLY HAVE ONE MODEL,
QUALITY:
Minimising waste
Reducing work and re-work
Promoting: Common processes, Shared platforms & exploiting technology.
BIM:
BIM is not software
Focus on BIM – rather don’t
Data exchange is the key
No education required

12. What does it actually produce?
CAD Compliant models
2D Layouts
2D Cross Sections
Data outputs
We’re going to physically show people on screen the 3D and 2D outputs of RED, where just giving them a prelude to this, mention the live demo,
mention that we’re actually going to see LIVE!!!! On screen these things happening!!
CAD compliant DGN models
Viewable without RED
Generates 2D layout, cross section & 3D model simultaneously
Realtime updates & preview
Minimal pre-requisites
Extensible design ranges
Guided operation
All data fully accessible – BIM ready

13. LIVE Demonstration Challenge is spot Jon doing BIM
Complete the design, finish adding the final structures etc.
Bring in cool terrain and civils models
Notice clashing
Make changes live on screen.
Show Layout output onto real LAYOUT DOCUMENT
Show cross sectional output
Show dropper schedule
Show iModel/I information BIM!!!

14. What is Rail Electrification Designer?
It’s off-the-shelf, easy to use SOFTWARE
It models OHLE
In 3D
Transparently Delivers BIM
Configurable for ANY design range
And ANY project CAD standards
Code name RED – 2 years.
PCWorld thingy…..
Off the shelf also implies it’s lightweight, comes on a cd, can be installed by granny?

15. Thank You
Invite people to come have a go etc….
