Ramboll Interactive operates at the cutting edge of high fidelity interactive visualization. They create incredibly detailed digital environments, including one project featuring a 70-kilometer Norwegian road with 1.8 million trees derived from LiDAR data.

The problem wasn't creating these stunning visuals; it was sharing them.

"They never had the computers to run [them] smoothly," says Bjørnar Moland, Visualization Lead at Ramboll. "And also, the executed files normally get blocked by IT organizations."

This bottleneck meant their most valuable assets were inaccessible, trapped behind barriers of insufficient computing power and strict firewalls. They needed a new solution for 3D model delivery.

BIM modeling has become the digital backbone of today's architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) projects. It goes beyond just capturing the physical geometry of a building or infrastructure; it integrates the critical data behind every element, from materials and specifications to cost estimates and timelines.

Ramboll turned to Eagle 3d Streaming to bridge the gap. Our platform leverages the power of pixel streaming to host their complex Unreal Engine applications in the cloud and stream them directly to a user's web browser.

The result? Cumbersome executables were replaced by a simple, secure web link.

This unlocked instant access for anyone, anywhere, on any device. The performance improvement was staggering. "Right now I'm sitting at home and the streaming is just epic," Bjørnar confirms. "It works better than on my laptop, actually

By eliminating the need for high-end hardware or local installations, Ramboll could finally share their work freely and reliably.

Adopting our [Interlink: Unreal Engine streaming solution] was more than a technical fix—it became a mission-critical component of their business strategy, driving growth and innovation.

A Fundamental Business Enabler:

Eirik Murbraech, the system manager of the Ramboll visualization team articulated the core truth with striking clarity: "Without it, we can just give up, because no one has the computers to run them locally anyway." This statement underscores a critical industry challenge—the immense power of Unreal Engine projects often outstrips the capabilities of standard client hardware.

Eagle 3D Streaming isn't just a tool; it's the essential technology that makes their entire service offering viable and commercially successful. It transforms visionary, compute-heavy simulations into universally accessible experiences, directly enabling Ramboll to deliver on their most ambitious promises without compromise.

Enhanced Client Engagement:

The transformation in client interaction has been nothing short of revolutionary. Clients, such as the Norwegian road authority, were unequivocally "thrilled" to engage with live, interactive digital twins during project meetings. This represented a monumental leap from the traditional, often dry, process of reviewing static images or pre-rendered videos.

Ramboll now presents experiences where stakeholders can actively explore, question, and understand complex designs in a dynamic 3D environment. This unparalleled capability has proven to be a major competitive advantage, significantly bolstering their success in crucial tender and bid proposals by offering an immersive, high-value experience that competitors simply cannot match.

Streamlined Design Review:

The platform's ability to facilitate seamless 3D model collaboration has profoundly impacted internal workflows. Previously disparate teams can now converge within a unified, high-fidelity real-time model. Engineers, architects, BIM specialists, urban planners, and environmental consultants—representing diverse disciplines—can conduct live design reviews together.

This eliminates version control issues, reduces misinterpretations, and fosters a truly integrated approach to problem-solving. By creating a single, interactive source of truth accessible to all, Ramboll dramatically improves decision-making speed and accuracy, leading to more efficient project execution.

High-Growth Strategy:

The strategic integration of real-time 3D and streaming has become a cornerstone of Ramboll Interactive's output, with 70-80% of their production now leveraging these advanced capabilities. This operational shift has not only solidified their position as industry leaders but has also been a direct catalyst for securing exciting new international projects in demanding markets like Italy and London.

By delivering unparalleled immersive experiences and solving critical access challenges, Ramboll Interactive has firmly established itself as the indispensable visualization expert within the broader Ramboll organization, driving impressive business expansion and further reinforcing their reputation for cutting-edge digital project delivery.

Visualization studios are now discovering a more powerful way to present their work and collaborate with clients. The challenge has always been bridging the gap between your high-powered creation and the client's screen.

Eagle 3D Streaming transforms this entire process, moving you beyond the slow, traditional cycle of static renders and video fly-throughs.

Revolutionize Client Reviews.

Stop the endless back-and-forth of emailing JPEGs and video files. With a simple link, you can invite clients into a live, interactive session within your Unreal Engine environment. They can explore the space freely while you discuss changes in real-time, leading to faster feedback and quicker project approvals.

Protect Your Intellectual Property.

Sending an executable file means giving away a valuable asset. With streaming, your proprietary models, textures, and compiled project files never leave our secure servers. You deliver the stunning visual experience without ever handing over the application itself.

Expand Your Service Offering.

Move beyond traditional deliverables. With Eagle 3D Streaming, you can now offer fully interactive, real-time walkthroughs and product configurators as a premium, final product. This creates a new revenue stream and sets your studio apart from the competition.

The success story with Ramboll is more than a snapshot of present capabilities; it’s a glimpse into the future of the entire AEC industry. Ramboll Interactive is at the vanguard of this evolution, actively working to transition their stunningly realistic models into true, functioning digital twins.

This represents the next great leap: moving beyond static visualization to create dynamic, living models connected to the real world. Imagine these virtual environments being fed with live data streams—real-time traffic flow, fluctuating weather patterns, IoT sensor data from physical infrastructure, and even energy consumption metrics. This turns a 3D model from a design artifact into a powerful tool for simulation, prediction, and operational management that provides value for decades after construction is complete.

This ambitious future is entirely dependent on the underlying delivery mechanism. A streaming platform must be exceptionally powerful, scalable, and reliable to handle not just the immense visual data, but the constant influx of live information without latency. We are proud and committed to providing the robust streaming backbone that empowers innovators like Ramboll to push the boundaries of what's possible in engineering and construction.

This principle of creating deeper, more meaningful engagement with complex models is transforming workflows everywhere. To learn more about how this applies in other creative fields, read our article: How Visualization Studios Use Pixel Streaming for BIM Model Engagement.

1. What is pixel streaming for AEC?

Pixel streaming is a technology that hosts a 3D application (like an Unreal Engine project) on a powerful cloud server and streams it as an interactive video to a user's web browser. This allows users in the AEC industry to access massive, high-fidelity 3D models and digital twins on any device, without needing a powerful computer.

2. How does Eagle 3D Streaming solve the problem of sharing large 3D files?

Instead of sending large files that need to be downloaded and run locally, Eagle 3D Streaming allows you to share a simple web link. The application runs on our [Interlink: cloud servers], and users interact with it in real-time, eliminating issues with file size, hardware limitations, and IT security blocks.

3. Can I stream my Unreal Engine projects without being a developer?

Yes. Our platform is designed for simplicity. You can upload your packaged Unreal Engine application to the [Interlink: Eagle 3D Streaming control panel] and generate a shareable link in minutes, with no coding required.
