ALLPLAN and A+S Consult enter into technology partnership

Munich, March 16, 2023 – ALLPLAN, global provider of BIM solutions for the AEC industry, has entered into a technological partnership with us. The goal of the partnership is to develop an integrated digital workflow for parametric traffic route planning for road and rail.

Both companies share the goal of parametrically modelling complex engineering structures in order to be able to make changes in minutes instead of weeks, as was previously the case – a revolution in the planning process: thanks to the reduced time required for changes and the creation of variants, a bridge design can be optimized in a time-saving manner.

“Integrated parametric workflows are a game changer in infrastructure planning – especially with regard to the growing demands on the productivity of planning teams as well as the material efficiency and sustainability of structures. The technological partnership with A+S Consult enables meaningful synergy effects and meets the growing demand for highly efficient solutions for infrastructure construction,” say Dr. Detlef Schneider, CEO of ALLPLAN.

Two platforms, one holistic planning portfolio

With the 5D platform KorFin®, A+S Consult offers a solution for planning road, rail, powerline, and cable infrastructure. Planning teams benefit from a real-time environment for generating dynamic, spatial overall models for as-built, planning, construction, and coordination of the specialist trades. Thanks to an automated design approach, KorFin® supports the preliminary design of engineering structures.

Allplan is the solution for parametric BIM-based design of roads and bridges. In combination with tools for interdisciplinary collaboration and variant creation as well as the precise generation of planning documents for the construction site, Allplan supports the successful implementation of road and rail projects, including those of the Autobahn GmbH of the Federal Government and Deutsche Bahn.

The merger of the two platforms creates a holistic planning portfolio that covers all work processes in traffic route planning from route determination to detailed planning on the basis of parametric modelling technology. Dr. Veit Appelt, CEO of A+S Consult: “Infrastructure projects such as roads and railroad lines are thought of together in a dynamic digital twin from the environment to the digital engineering structure and are technically within reach. Ultimately, the goal is to move away from conventional planning towards parametric real-time design in a team of specialist planners within a joint overall model. This opens the door to connected AI applications.”
