The integration of BIM into the rail project is a worldwide trend. The advantages of this integration are many: elimination of project collision risks, optimization of design, collaboration between disciplines and cost reduction. This chapter aims to confirm the theoretical results (benefits, limitations, risks) concerning the integration of building information modeling (BIM) into railway projects through the study of a practical case with a real‐scale experiment. BIM is a digital and graphical representation of the physical and functional characteristics of an installation. BIM simulates the construction project in a virtual environment. A simulation has the advantage of taking place in a computer through the use of a software package. The chapter discovers experiences of integrating BIM into railway projects in several countries, in terms of assigned objectives, regulatory initiatives and milestones. It describes the modeling of an ONCF electric substation, carried out by the Colas Rail Maroc teams, according to the BIM process.
