Building Information Modelling (BIM) has positioned as one of the main project methodologies into the AECO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operations) sector. However, its implementation entails important barriers such as hardware and software requirements or BIM skills and education. The main aim of this research was to overcome those implementation barriers providing full accessibility to BIM benefits, especially in the infrastructure management phase leading to a digital twin (DT) of the built environment. Furthermore, the paper shows the technical aspects of the implementation of BIM information as well as the external functionalities, i.e., real time information or data queries, which are commonly define in BIM-IoT topic rather than BIM-FM interoperability. The research is based on the project for the northern covering and new building of the Bidebieta-Basauri passenger station, located on the Bilbao-Orduña commuter line in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country, Spain. The final result is a BIM-based online web platform with Full access to the BIM model of the infrastructure, linked with other functionalities based on technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), Bigdata or Cloud Computing.
