Mott MacDonald Implements BIM Process for Australia’s First Fully-automatic Metro Rail SystemBentley’s ProjectWise Helped Save USD 120,000 Per Year in Ongoing Support
Accommodating a Growing PopulationTo To provide a reliable public transportation service to the
people of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, the city
is building the first fully-automatic metro rail system. The
AUD 8.3 billion Sydney Metro Northwest project includes
construction of twin 15-kilometer tunnels from Bella Vista to
Epping, Australia’s longest rail tunnels.
As part of a three-way joint venture, Mott MacDonald worked
to deliver the infrastructure design, and implement and
manage a BIM process on the project. The project operated
in 42 office locations, and was executed by a multidiscipline
team of approximately 500 employees in six countries.
Using ProjectWise, the team stayed organized and informed
about all project developments, also collaborating with
stakeholders.
Creating a Single Source of Truth with ProjectWise and AzureProjectWise provided a logical means of implementing and
enforcing the workflows and document coding required by
Mott MacDonald’s client. The project team also introduced
a hybrid environment to cater to increasing demand. This
environment allowed existing ProjectWise infrastructure in
Singapore to interact with ProjectWise infrastructure in the
Microsoft Azure cloud, which was located in Sydney.
Realizing Significant Savings from Cloud HostingBy moving to a cloud-based solution, Mott MacDonald
realized a capital cost saving of USD 25,000 and saved USD
120,000 per year in ongoing support. ProjectWise ensured
that the design progressed on schedule and work packages
were delivered on time, while implementing and enforcing the
BS1192 contractual requirements from the client. ProjectWise
helped the team establish and maintain quality management
systems and manage engineering assurance. The project
team also maintained compliance with the New South Wales
Authorized Engineering Organization. Moving forward, the
Sydney Metro Northwest project has set the benchmark for
ProjectWise implementation. The success of a ProjectWise
hybrid environment means that it is now the default solution
for all Mott MacDonald projects in the ANZ region.
