A massive congratulations to our team at WSP in Australia for their win in the 2024 Bentley Systems Going Digital Awards! Spark and WSP took out the Subsurface Modelling & Analysis category for their work on the North East Link project in Melbourne. The WSP team was led by Andrew Russell as the Project Director. Victoria’s largest infrastructure project, North East Link is set to transform the city. Once complete, it will feature twin road tunnels and new parklands, whilst removing 15,000 trucks from local roads. Our team developed and delivered 3D subsurface models to support design analysis and construction planning. Through the use of digital platforms, the team saved 1,500 hours in collaborative modelling. Optimising risk management and design compliance saved AU$6 million, while recycling of excavation materials saving an additional AU$10 million. The 3D geological models will be incorporated into the digital twin to support tunnel operation and emergency management. Learn more about this award-winning work: https://lnkd.in/gs9yNS5k
