Service Overview
Metro stations are complex civic buildings that serve simultaneously as transport interchanges, public spaces, commercial venues, and safety-critical facilities. Their design demands meticulous coordination of architectural volumes, structural systems in challenging geotechnical conditions, platform screen doors, escalators, HVAC, traction power substations, and fire life safety systems. Desapex delivers this complex coordination through federated BIM that unifies every single discipline.
Our Digital-First Approach
Federate Models
We model every discipline simultaneously within a shared Revit/Navisworks environment.
Core Deliverables
Underground and elevated station architectural design optimized for passenger flow and Level of Service compliance.
Structural design for cut-and-cover boxes, bored tunnel segments, and elevated viaducts.
MEPF design, including tunnel ventilation, station HVAC, dewatering, and traction power distribution.
Fire life safety design, including smoke management, emergency lighting, and evacuation routes per NFPA 130.
Platform screen door (PSD) and signalling/communications room layout integration.
Why Choose Desapex
Our federated BIM coordination approach has been proven to reduce MEPF-related RFIs by over 50% compared to conventionally managed stations. In underground construction, where access for rework is constrained and extremely expensive, preventing installation conflicts translates directly into significant schedule and cost performance improvements.
Unique Selling Proposition
Our USP is that Desapex brings an ISO 19650-certified information management framework to rail projects. This guarantees that the massive volumes of design data generated across multiple disciplines and design packages are managed with a structure, traceability, and version control that conventional file-based approaches cannot provide.
