Which startups develop the other 170 solutions?

 

RailCOMPLETE – Building Information Modelling (BIM)

Rail construction requires substantial planning due to the complexity of building railway infrastructure. BIM provides real-time solutions to increase the accuracy, quality, and safety of construction planning activities while reducing the time spent on projects. To this end, startups develop BIM solutions that enable improvement in the security and reliability of railways.

RailCOMPLETE is a Norwegian startup that develops BIM solutions for the railway industry. The startup utilizes plug-and-play computer-aided design (CAD)-based systems to provide a tool for catenary, track, signaling, and board modeling. Additionally, the tool includes an asset management database for integrating distributed BIM objects. The startup’s further product helps rail companies save money and time on construction planning and enhances the security of railway infrastructure.

Raildiary – Project Management System

Rail construction projects accumulate large amounts of data that makes process monitoring and cost auditing more difficult. However, security, transparency, easy access, and effective analytics tools make project management in rail construction less challenging. To maximize project efficiency and transparency of monetary transactions, rail tech startups develop information systems for data collection and processing.

Raildiary is a British startup that offers a data tracking platform for railway construction companies. The startup develops the Sitediary app, a platform for railway project management and analysis. The startup’s solution finds applications in rail, including maintenance, signaling, and electrification, as well as fatigue and emergency management. The solutions optimize the efficacy of rail construction projects to minimize delays, resource waste, and unnecessary costs.

Digital Construction Works – Construction Planning

Digitization in railways increases project operation visibility and facilitates accurate budget and time planning at the time of rail construction. When a rail project interferes with existing infrastructure, it becomes crucial to have a detailed construction plan to minimize the project’s impact on roads, utilities, and assets. For this purpose, startups develop digitization solutions for railway construction projects to help companies reduce the risk of unexpected delays that result in overhead expenses.

The US-based startup Digital Construction Works helps digitize railway construction operations. The startup provides construction verification, performance analysis, and reporting for construction projects, as well as planning and modeling for temporary construction sites. The startup’s data integration and planning solutions help railway construction companies decrease operational costs and improve construction site safety. For example, the startup’s 4D mass haul earthworks solution to optimize earthmoving operations with integrated civil planning workflows, including 4D earthwork project planning, simulation, mass haul schedules, and quantities.

eviFile – Rail Construction Data Verification

The construction verification process is crucial for the effective management of rail operations. The abundance of data generated from railway construction verification creates the need for its effective processing and safe storage. To minimize resource wastage, startups are looking to develop applications that enable a safe flow of data for rail operations.

eviFile is a British startup that streamlines the recording, collation, and storage of construction verification assurance data. The startup’s Rail Construction Information Management Tool records, processes, and stores the verification assurance data, providing rail engineers with easy and secure access to the database. Additionally, the tool optimizes railway construction works by enabling data consistency, real-time monitoring, digital audit history, and the visibility of high-quality referrals.

Teamoty – Lean Construction

Lean construction principles are designed to particularly reduce waste and improve the operational effectiveness of projects. Incorporating this approach to the rail industry, startups develop rail software solutions to improve the scheduling and logistics of railway construction projects. The resulting optimization allows construction operators to finish projects faster and lower construction costs.

French startup Teamoty offers software solutions based on lean construction for companies across many industries. The startup provides Teamoty Logistics and Teamoty Scheduling software for efficient railway construction planning. The software helps railway construction companies increase productivity and optimize operational logistics. For example, Teamoty’s solutions have helped in the construction of an underground rail project in France.
