The second tube of the Karavanke tunnel is in the full construction phase and represents an important step towards eliminating the road traffic bottleneck between Slovenia and Austria. The investor DARS d. d., with experts from AXIS and DRI, adopted close and constructive cooperation, information tools, communication, organisational skills and engineering knowledge. The Common Data Environment (CDE) for constructing the 2nd tube of the Karavanke tunnel has equipped DARS with a powerful information tool and digital knowledge and is now firmly entering Construction 4.0.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The 2nd tube of the Karavanke tunnel will decisively contribute to developing the comprehensive road network in Slovenia and improve the direct connection of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) corridors. Completion of the tube is scheduled for June 2025. Upon opening, traffic will be diverted through the newly built pipe, and the existing tube will be renovated and modernised. The final renovation is planned to be completed by 2027 when two-way traffic in the Karavanke tunnel will be abolished, and the speed limit will be increased from 80 to 100 km\/h.<\/p>\n

Managing infrastructure projects is a demanding task in terms of engineering and construction work. In depth-knowledge of investment processes and procedures, monitoring of financial and timeline indicators, and understanding the potential risks and their financial consequences are crucial in the design, planning and implementation of infrastructure projects. Challenges most frequently arise in managing the organisation, quality professional supervision, transparent management of procedures and documentation, a large amount of information to be uniformly accessible to all stakeholders and the use of appropriate up-to-date information support.<\/p>\n

The critical investor’s goal is to ensure effective project and construction investment control, thus guaranteeing the projected progress following the timeline, financial plan and quality by introducing Common Data Environment (CDE). Introduction, maintenance and support of the Common Data Environment (CDE) is a fundamental support principle of any construction process and consists of two comprehensive sets of tasks.<\/p>\n

The first set of tasks consists of introducing the XPERT information system for financial and scheduling monitoring and establishing the Web Project Portal for smooth digital communication and project documentation management.<\/strong> The basis for the successful introduction of the latter is the so-called Communication and Documentation Protocol, which prescribes the obligations and activities of all stakeholders in detail. The training period for all system users is successfully coming to an end. The use of the entire CDE system consequently goes into full production and continues with ongoing maintenance and customer support.<\/p>\n
