Cities
Accurate and exploitable data on urban assets to create more sustainable, livable, and resilient cities.
Industry Challenge
The development of cities presents multiple challenges for public entities, investors, and developers. They all seek the best solutions to create urban areas capable of accompanying population growth, ensuring smooth mobility, and adapting to climate change. They need to align their efforts to create sustainable, livable, and resilient cities.
To achieve this, they need to work with accurate and accessible data on the built urban environment. In this context, numerous cities have already adopted technologies such as BIM and digital twins. These technologies allow them to work with 3D digital models of the built environment and access a single, reliable data source to support their decisions.
However, city leaders and authorities do not always have the dedicated teams to properly obtain and maintain information on the built environment. They will need support from external organizations but must have defined their information requirements to maintain data consistency.
At Modelical, we help public entities develop a consistent strategy for digitizing and managing information on the built urban environment. To do this, we combine our experience in BIM and digitization for large urban projects with our specialization in digital twins.
-
BIM strategy
We help you successfully adopt and utilise BIM technologies and processes.
-
Digital twins
Streamline the management, operation and maintenance of your assets.
-
Optimization
Take advantage of interoperability linking your databases to the Digital Twin

Our approach
At Modelical, we have been supporting urban development since 2012. Our portfolio includes roads, railways, wastewater treatment plants, airports or ports, data centers, real estate development projects, among others. Currently, we are involved in various urban projects and collaborate as:
- BIM implementation partner and BIM technical office for the construction of the new Île-aux-Tourtes Bridge in Montreal
- BIM technical office for the CREA MADRID NUEVO NORTE urban redevelopment project
- Partner for the development of a new environment and digital twin for leading companies in the energy and telecommunications sectors
For these projects, we create specific teams composed of civil engineers, architects, and developers. We employ a personalized methodology to ensure optimal collaboration with client teams, as well as their partners and IT service providers.
