Overview
A rail infrastructure delivery benchmark for common data environments and operational handover.
Why the case matters
Programme-scale collaboration requires governed information structures, common definitions and disciplined handovers between organisations.
Operating lessons
- Define source ownership and approval status for shared information.
- Design information exchanges around decisions and contractual responsibilities.
- Preserve traceability from design and field evidence to acceptance.
Technical parameters
- CDE based on AssetWise, ProjectWise and GIS; BS 1192 / PAS 1192 aligned
- Delivery model: Common Data Environment for major rail infrastructure
- Access: Elizabeth line: 41 stations (Crossrail/TfL programme)
