Project Summary

On the Cambridge South project, Arcadis is the primary design consultant, helping deliver a brand-new four-platform station, railway systems improvements, and access improvements to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, Addenbrookes Hospital, and Hobson’s Park. With early passenger numbers expected to increase to over 2 million by 2043, this station is essential and will improve the quality of life for the people who live and work in the area.Arcadis chose Bentley applications to coordinate in a 3D environment and used clash detection to ensure everyone was aligned on the project. ProjectWise acted as the connected data environment for all phases of the project while OpenRoads created a parametric corridor that automatically updated, resulting in earthworks reuse increasing from 60% to 100%. MicroStation helped detect and resolve 26,539 clashes, saving significant time. By creating a 4D timeline of construction, the team reduced risk, site complexity, and construction time.

Modern train station entrance with a curved wooden roof, large glass windows, and a sign reading "Cambridge South." Ticket barriers and a map are visible at the entrance.
