USER SUCCESS Mott MacDonald Implements BIM Process for Australia’s First Fully-automatic Metro Rail System Bentley’s ProjectWise Helped Save USD 120,000 Per Year in Ongoing Support Accommodating a Growing Population To 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 Azure ProjectWise 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 Hosting By 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.
