Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a digital representation of an asset(s) that can be used in infrastructure delivery from planning through to Operation, Management and Maintenance (OMM). SNCF Gares & Connexions (SNCF), a rail station developer, operator and manager in France found that as it developed its stations and services resulting in increased passengers, it required a greater technical understanding of these assets. SNCF Gares & Connexions ( SNCF) looked to BIM as a solution but found that existing BIM solutions did not adequately meet all its requirements.
On Sao Paulo metropolitan train lines 8 and 9, a concession contract was issued for operation, maintenance, and upgrade of services and stations, and the supply of rolling stocks and signalling systems. The project attracted significant private sector participation.
The Queensland Government needed to deliver eight new primary schools and two new secondary schools across South East Queensland to cater for up to 10,000 additional students and 650 staff as part of the growing demand for education in the region. The Queensland Government adopted a bundling approach within a public-private partnership (PPP) contract to ‘bundle’ the 10 smaller school assets under a PPP.
London relies on a 150-year-old sewer system built for a population less than half its current size. As a result, millions of tonnes of raw sewage overflow the system each year and end up in the River Thames. The GBP4.2 billion (USD5.7 billion) Thames Tideway Tunnel (TTT) is being built to tackle the problem for at least the next 120 years and enable the United Kingdom to meet European environmental standards.
TEAM2100 is delivering the first 10 years of the Thames Estuary Asset Management Programme. The programme covers tidal flood defences as recommended by the 100-year Thames Estuary 2100 (TE2100) plan, which sets out how to manage increasing tidal flood risk from rising sea levels and deteriorating assets to the end of the century.
Sydney Water’s new collaborative framework called ‘Partnering for Success (P4S)’ covered the appointment of long-term integrated planning partners in 2019 and a 10-year partnership with three regional delivery consortia (RDC) from 2020.
British Airports Authority (BAA), a major airport operator, constructed Heathrow Terminal 5 (T5), the largest construction project in Europe in the early 2000s. To achieve the desired outcomes to budget, time and quality, BAA decided it needed a model to actively manage the risk on the project. It developed a bespoke relational contract (T5 agreement) for use with its T5 tier 1 suppliers, including architects and engineering design consultants, and general and specialised contractors and manufacturers.
The AUD11 billion (USD8.2 billion) Melbourne Metro Tunnel Project involves the construction of twin 9 km rail tunnels through Melbourne’s central business district, in addition to five new underground stations along this route. The scope of the early works package included utility and telecommunication service relocations, site preparation works, and construction of two access shafts to allow the construction of the underground stations.
Rocky Flats was a United States nuclear weapons plant in Colorado. After production was halted in 1989, government agencies did not have the capability or capacity to close the plant as quickly desired. To accelerate the program and minimise cost, performance incentives were provided to the joint venture responsible for delivering the works.
Rail Projects Victoria, a Victorian Government delivery authority, established the Victorian Tunnelling Centre (VTC), based on the Crossrail Tunnelling and Underground Construction Academy, London, to offer specialist training in the construction and operation of a variety of types of tunnels, including rail, road, and utilities tunnels.
Cross River Rail is a 10.2 km, AUD5.4 billion (2 billion) rail line in Brisbane, Australia linking Dutton Park to Bowen Hills. It includes 5.9 km twin tunnels crossing underneath the Brisbane River and CBD and four new underground stations and eight upgraded stations, doubling the railway capacity across the Brisbane River. It will also involve developing three new Gold Coast stations.
The Gateway Review Process, developed by the United Kingdom Office of Government Commerce (OGC) (a Treasury office) in the early 2000s, is a process now used by several jurisdictions around the world that aims to give greater scrutiny and oversight to major projects throughout their lifecycle.
HS2 is a new high-speed rail line that in Phase One will connect London with Birmingham, and later with Manchester and Leeds. It will serve over 25 stations connecting around 30 million people and will significantly improve travel times between London and the Midlands.
Digital Design-Built Policies are coherent plans for digital infrastructure delivery which align with recognised industry standards and frameworks. They seek to digitise the asset lifecycle by requiring the use of specific digital technologies in the design and construction process.
To service the increased demand and protect Sydney’s inland waterways, Sydney Water commissioned three major inland wastewater treatment plant upgrade projects – Riverstone Wastewater Treatment Plant, Quakers Hill Water Recycling Plant, and St Marys Water Recycling Plant.
Preparations for the London 2012 Olympics involved 137 projects each in separate contracts of varying scale, from major works including the 80,000-seat Olympic stadium, through to preparation works at small-scale competition spaces. The program was delivered amid a local environment of heavy government, media, regulatory, and public scrutiny that demanded the program be delivered on-time with positive health and safety, quality, and environmental and sustainability outcomes .
The Happy Valley Underground Stormwater Storage Scheme (HVUSSS) primarily involves the construction of an underground stormwater storage tank with a capacity of 60,000 m³ located beneath the sports pitches surrounded by the horse racing track of the Happy Valley Racecourse. The storage tank is sized to accommodate a 50-year flood event.
The Town Planning Scheme (TPS) makes land available for urbanisation by pooling and readjusting lands and appropriating areas for public purposes through negotiations between the local planning authority and landowners. Ahmedabad City in Gujarat state, through the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC), has undertaken urban expansion using the Danilimda TPS to integrate land use planning and service provision.
