            Service Tunnel Station
          
        
        
          A part of the “DoorStroom Station Utrecht” (DSSU) project concerns a new free crossing between the
        
        
          railway and the area to the south of “Centraal Station Utrecht” and the public road. During the design
        
        
          process of “Diensttunnel”, the BIM concept was applied to attain savings in costs and time in the
        
        
          building phase. This implementation consisted of the engineer, contractor and rebar company coming
        
        
          together and reaching agreement on what information was needed and how that information can be
        
        
          exchanged. In practice, this resulted in reusing design information and speeding up the process.
