Thameslink: Computer Aided Design

Summary

The Thameslink Programme CAD Services Team manages the Electronic CAD Management System (ECMS). This is a secure and collaborative information environment provided by Thameslink Programme for use by contractors and designers. The approach is unique for major projects but enables the creation of a comprehensive ‘single source of truth’ CAD model that can be shared across multiple users. This ensures consistent CAD standards across all designs and a uniformity of solutions, and allows proper 3D design model coordination across different design disciplines with over 25 organisations and 450 users at any one time.
