In addition to the Koralm Tunnel, the station at Lavanttal, the Granitztal tunnel chain and the Jauntal bridge are key structures on the Koralmbahn line in Austria. The station at Lavanttal has many functions to fulfil. Passenger demands for this important high‐speed rail station have to be fulfilled as well as the maintenance requirements. This is also the emphasis of the currently running design optimisation for the adjoining Granitztal tunnel chain. In addition to a current status report, the article reports on the first experience gained on this project with the implementation of Building Information Modelling, a working method for the production of a holistic digital model of the building or facilities.
