According to Keri Niven, Digital Practice Leader for New Zealand, collaborative technologies are increasingly becoming the foundation for how transport infrastructure will interact throughout the life of project design and delivery, and on into the asset management lifecycle.

“An application’s ability to work in an integrated manner with collaboration tools will be a key requirement for adoption into businesses and projects,” says Keri.

“We utilise the latest geospatial technologies and associated methodologies to deliver projects focused on achieving our clients' objectives. We aim to partner technical solutions with strong relationships to maximise the benefits our clients derive from this technology,” adds Keri.

Applying GIS to a range of disciplines

Aurecon’s team specialises in the design and implementation of leading edge collaboration and project management tools. Currently, Aurecon is driving a programme to deliver BIM and geospatial document management principles for clients to further enhance project outcomes.

“The Aurecon client offering takes the application of geographic information system (GIS) to a range of disciplines including engineering, asset management, environmental science, telecommunications, 3D modelling. We provide strategic direction and systems analysis, and we are experienced in working with our clients to develop GIS tools that integrate spatial information with other business systems,” says Keri.

“Our team uses the latest mobile and web technologies to enable total integration of spatial data with document management, project control and scheduling tools, and to provide a streamlined approach to integrated project workflows,” adds Keri.

Rail and Metro projects derive benefits from GIS

By focusing on GIS-based systems, it is possible to provide project support systems that streamline and co-ordinate the management of information, promote collaboration and facilitate more efficient reporting and project control.

The critical component of Aurecon’s solution is the provision of a single, centralised environment for the storage, organisation, and visualisation of all spatial data and project documents. This GIS system can be linked with many other systems, for project controls, reporting and risk management to provide a total solution for creating more efficient, effective project management.

On the City Rail Link (CRL) project in Auckland, Aurecon utilised experience with 3D GIS tools to transform data into real world views.

The team created a suite of photo-realistic cityscapes and modelled complex sub-surface geological structures. As a result, Aurecon was able to provide the client and project team with a suite of visualisation options ranging from real-time interactive models to videos and movie simulations.

“On CRL, we built and published 3D GIS models which could be ‘shared’ across the design team through our enterprise GIS architecture. Our secure cloud environment enabled publishing of models and data across geographies using desktop, web and mobile interfaces. By sharing information in this way, we facilitated the making of key decisions in a collaborative environment,” says Keri.

Aurecon GIS is a total project lifecycle solution for transport projects:
