Extracting actionable insights with digital engineering tools

Digital tools are transforming industries and redefining how we extract insights from data to help us make more informed and impactful business decisions. Aurecon’s digital tools and products span project and asset lifecycles, from design through construction to post project research and feedback. Our clients benefit from our domain expertise across digital infrastructure, energy, resources and water combined with our focus on harnessing the power of technology to improve efficiencies, productivity and decision-making.

"The adoption of digital technologies is reshaping organisations globally. But it’s not only about the technology. The technology follows the problem. It’s about finding the right problems and applying the technology where it can have the most impact."

Dave Mackenzie, Group Director, Digital & AI at Aurecon

Recall

Aurecon Recall is our first intelligent assistant and is a major entry into the generative AI transformation.

The generative AI platform brings together Aurecon’s domain expertise with AI technology. More than just a chat-based interface, Aurecon Recall uses our engineering expertise to search, retrieve and generate responses, augmenting the expertise of our people by improving quality and unlocking efficiency. Using Aurecon Recall is like having our experts at your fingertips.

Aurecon Recall – more than just a chatbot

We are extending this technology to our clients to help unlock critical knowledge that is otherwise trapped in lengthy documents, siloed project collateral, and dispersed across remote teams. Aurecon Recall’s Knowledge Agent tool harnesses the power of our clients' projects and organisational expertise, allowing organisations to build a custom knowledge base, then gather insights and efficiencies using a chat-based interface, powered by the latest GPT models.

Aurecon Recall’s superpower is its ability to retrieve information and connect disparate pieces of data across multiple dimensions in record time. It identifies what connections exist between different datasets, the obvious and the obscure and shows us how we can extract more value from knowledge embedded in organisations.

Aurecon Recall utilises information from thousands of pages of Aurecon's knowledge hubs, applying a rigorous and externally tested security model to manage permissions and confidentiality so that information can be benefited from safely. This means Aurecon Recall is powered by our deep technical domain expertise across infrastructure, energy, resources, and water sectors.

Aurecon air® reimagines the delivery of environmental reporting.

About Aurecon air®

Aurecon air® is a high integrity digital reporting platform enabling environmentally sustainable outcomes for organisations and asset owners across the project lifecycle from site selection, approvals, construction and management reporting and monitoring. It engages the reader through an interactive interface with enhanced accessibility and transparency of environmental outcomes. The platform presents environmental reporting with interactive maps, images, audio, multimedia and 3D scenes.

The digital platform creates a collaborative workspace, with a customised, secure and version-controlled way of working from draft to publication. It delivers complex environmental assessments in a user-friendly way, promoting understanding and engagement to expedite the decision-making process. It supports environment and planning legislative compliance, with a focus on how we avoid, minimise, rehabilitate and offset potential impacts, and support community understanding and feedback.

Revolutionising the future of environmental reporting

Aurecon air® has already proven successful in supporting major energy infrastructure projects like the Humelink transmission project. Aurecon air® allowed Aurecon to present vast quantities of complex environmental data and technical assessment information in a way that was more accessible, transparent and easier for the community and stakeholders to understand.

Aurecon air® was recognised with a 2024 Good Design Award and Aurecon was also recognised as one of AFR BOSS 2024 Most Innovative Companies for transforming the future of environmental reporting.

Inground.

AureconInground is a bespoke digital service that streamlines the generation of existing utilities models.

AureconInground puts trusted data in the hands of strategic planners, infrastructure designers, and contractors early in the design process. Having access to this data upfront, and clearly communicating risks and uncertainties, makes it easier for all parties to understand constraints related to underground services, and enables them to make key decisions and de-risk projects.

Existing utility information is a crucial component of transport and land infrastructure design. The web-based platform facilitates the creation of data-rich 3D utility models, from a wide range of data sources, including utility providers, councils, and surveys. It automatically generates models from standardised, interoperable datasets, enabling a digital solution to a recurring problem.

AureconInground reduces risk by clearly communicating project tolerances, reducing model generation time, and encouraging best information management practice on large projects.

AureconInground won Gold in the Digital New Service or Application category in the 2022 Melbourne Design Awards.

ClaRFI is a GenAI tool designed to interpret complex RFIs and draft responses in seconds.

ClaRFI is a digital tool built on generative AI that interprets complex RFIs (requests for information) and collects relevant data from multiple sources to guide responses. Trained on thousands of real-world RFIs, ClaRFI uses large language models to interpret questions, assess project documents, and generate first-draft answers in seconds. A user-friendly interface tracks the full RFI lifecycle — categorising, routing and managing requests to streamline collaboration between asset owners and developers, designers and contractors.

More than automation, ClaRFI supports subject matter experts by surfacing the right information quickly and accurately, enabling consistent, high-quality responses. On long-duration infrastructure projects, it helps retain and reuse critical knowledge, reducing the impact of personnel changes and improving information continuity over time. It is a game-changer with the potential to significantly improve productivity in construction. ClaRFI has already had demonstrable success, including up to 50 per cent time savings for developing responses to RFIs on construction projects.

swipEngage

Digital research tool swipEngage® captures stakeholder and community feedback, values and opinion.

swipEngage® allows for the easy design of unique surveys, offering multiple question types for any audience. Users can customise the look and feel of each survey in a unique way to align with their brand identity.

Through swipEngage® Aurecon gathers meaningful project feedback from stakeholder groups and communities, supports research and stakeholder engagement, and leverages data analytics to share valuable updates and insights in real time with our clients on their projects. As the tool is accessible 24/7 and from multiple devices, it has broad audience reach.

A dashboard provides a ‘visual snapshot’ of a survey and the key insights identified. Real time updates deliver a convenient way to accurately measure changes in sentiment and responses. Filters provide snapshots of a project as a whole or for specific periods.

The tool, with its intuitive interface and being based on familiar online engagement behaviours, is easy for survey respondents to use.

Accelerating AI-driven digital engineering

The problems our clients are facing now, be it energy transition, climate risk or transitioning to a circular economy are so complex and interconnected it is reasonable to ask the question ‘can humans solve these problems on their own’? If the answer is no, then we need smarter tools to augment our ability to solve these challenges.

With a strong commitment to innovation and sustainability Aurecon is developing a suite of generative AI tools that will help accelerate the digital transformation of our clients and our organisation. This is how we are taking GenAI to our clients through our services.
