DMRC’s New Delhi Railway Station Skywalk enhances urban mobility, reduces congestion, and promotes sustainability, providing seamless connectivity between the New Delhi station, adjacent metro stations, and a multilevel parking facility. Spanning 242 meters in the heart of central Delhi, the project’s dense urban setting presented site constraints and logistical challenges avoiding disruption to daily commuter flow. To accommodate the limited space and coordinate the multiple disciplines and stakeholders, DMRC needed flexible, integrated structural modeling technology.

Leveraging Bentley OpenBridge, RAM, and STAAD, DMRC established collaborative design and analysis workflows and a digital twin, enabling the team to efficiently explore multiple design options. Working in a connected structural modeling environment minimized rework and optimized material usage, saving up to INR 6 million in costs. The digital twin helped DMRC reduce concrete usage by 12% to 16%, contributing to a reduction in the project’s overall carbon footprint. Using Bentley applications, DMRC delivered durable, eco-friendly, and socially inclusive infrastructure, setting a benchmark for future transit projects.
