3. Project/Contract Description
RA IL SUMMI T 20 24
(Addendum BIM)
(From 2022 to 2025)
(22 BIM Projects)
Peer Review of High-Speed Rail Projects
“Servicios para la supervision dinámica de
proyectos en Adif alta velocidad en regimen
de pedido abierto”
Public tender process
Peer review of complete high speed rail
projects (i.e. civil works design, track,
stations, depots, electrification, signaling…)
Includes technical review of all disciplines
designs and BIM review
Projects developed by other design
companies, not included Sener projects
Project Description
First contract
o From 2017 to 2020
o Expected 37 projects to review (NO BIM)
Second contract:
o From 2019 to 2022
o Expected 62 projects to review (NO BIM)
Third contract:
o From 2023 to 2026
o Expected >50 BIM projects to review
Total Budget of all contracts ≈ 8M€
RA IL SUMMI T 20 24
Peer Review Team
No clear schedule for
reviews is available
Up to 4 rounds to final
approval of the project
Several review teams are
required for overlapping
reviews
Difficult to organize so
reduce the review timing
was important

4. Adif BIM Documentation Framework
RA IL SUMMI T 20 24
Adif BIM Documentation Framework
Refers to a set of rules, standards, and
procedures developed by Adif to
implement BIM in its railway
infrastructure projects and works.
o This framework is essential for the
STANDARDIZATION, modernization and digitalization of processes
o Its primary goal is to enhance collaboration, efficiency, and quality in the
management of Adif´s infrastructure projects.

Limited room for automation.
Compile typical comments of typical non-
conformities, on each item.
Share previous audit reports with the team to
coordinate the type of responses.
Coordinate with Adif the actions on several
items and situations.
Dedicated meetings with suppliers, if needed,
for clarifications.

Dashboard helps with total results and understanding of the comments
Some issues with the access to PowerBI dashboard by external users
This is used in other projects where Sener is the design supplier
Model Review Process 4
7. Conclusions and Next Steps
RA IL SUMMI T 20 24
This process works thanks to the standardization of Adif
Audit openBIM standards (IFC) simplified the standardization
Native files needs to be checked manually and only some objects (sampling check)
This standardization was key to adapt to the projects review schedule
Different review teams in different locations with same review outputs
Some issues with coordinates and parameters when opening IFC4x3 with BIMCollab
Review checklist is similar for basic design than detail design
Conclusions and Next Steps
RA IL SUMMI T 20 24
There is a clear decrease on the hours needed for each project review and better time
response
It is always worth to plan, organize, standardize and automatize. Take a breath!
More accurate review compared with a regular peer review
Future improvements:
o Automatize additional checks from the checklist and improve PowerBI
o Explore the use of IA for the review of BEP documents
o Investigate implementation of IDS (Information Delivery Specification)
o Check applicability of IFC Validation Service from BuildingSMART (https://www.buildingsmart.org/users/services/ifc-validation-service/)
Conclusions and Next Steps
