Digital Engineering enables a collaborative way of working using digital processes to enable more productive methods of planning, designing, constructing, operating and maintaining infrastructure assets through their lifecycle.Value for money from infrastructure investments drives key decision making, however, finding ways to design, construct, implement and efficiently maintain infrastructure assets is a challenge faced by infrastructure developers, owners and operators. Comprising the convergence of technologies including Building Information Modelling (BIM), Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and related systems, Digital Engineering (DE) helps to derive better business, project and asset management outcomes. At GHD Digital, we combine our digital capabilities with specific domain expertise in the design of asset infrastructure to replicate the intended operations of the asset. Our approach to DE centres on working collaboratively with clients to coordinate information management and improving decision making and outcomes throughout the entire asset lifecycle. Our three tiers of service helps our clients manage their cost of asset ownership throughout its lifecycle:
Building Information Modelling (BIM)BIM is the digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of projects, assets or environments. However, it is more than a design tool, it is an avenue to create value. Data rich BIM models are constructed using data captured from existing assets, during the planning, design and delivery process. Capturing data dynamically informs decision making at different stages of projects. On large and complex infrastructure projects, BIM provides a clear picture of the project before it is realised helping to reduce costs, increase efficiencies, improve safety and streamline processes. |

At GHD Digital, we help our clients understand complex data simply and completely by using virtual, augmented and mixed reality solutions to immerse them in their environments, designs and data.We build, deploy and support immersive digital solutions across three core areas to improve communication, enhance efficiency, drive performance, reduce rework, support collaboration and enable engagement. This is achieved by maintaining the engineering integrity of all inputs ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the immersive models. Our three core areas are: Visualisation and animation: Using virtual environments, 2D imagery, video, animation, flythroughs and self-navigation platforms, we create powerful experiences to help stakeholders immerse themselves in, and understand the built environment. Our 3D model, image production and animation methodology is based upon spatial (GIS), digital engineering (BIM), and urban design fundamentals to create accurate models for all 2D and 3D applications. We seamlessly merge our extensive texture and effects catalogues with laser and imagery collected from terrestrial, aerial or drone platforms to create tailored experiences for our stakeholders. Design Collaboration: Our rapid iterative tools help engineers, designers and stakeholders to quickly see, understand and respond to built environment design and operations. We have developed Model Viewer tools for integration of disparate engineering models to enable a confederated model with navigation, layering, measuring, drawing and adding 3D models and x-ray. This has been extended into GHD CoLAB to enable faster design iteration by supporting multi-user, multi-device and multi-location collaboration from desktop or virtual reality and in the office or site. With Asset Management we utilise various data capture technologies including aerial and marine drones to capture content which is used to develop accurate 3D models. These are published to our asset inspection product Photovis, which allows inspection, identification and sharing of content without complicated site setup or higher site safety concerns (eg. working from heights) from the safety and convenience of your desktop. This provides an auditable record of 100 percent of a client's asset allowing for comparison over time. Training: Virtual Reality (VR) is establishing itself as the proven solution for training as it places trainees in real-world based interactive experiences; improving engagement, capability, competency, responsiveness and retention. With over 10 years’ experience building custom training applications for both cave installations and VR, we focus on optimising learning through interactive simulations. Our holistic approach is based on leading practices for outcome delivery and behavioural reliability. We understand however, that not all trainees are comfortable in a VR environment, and have developed a cloud hosted Immersive Learning Platform (ILP) providing training courses on VR, PC and Tablet. |

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is the use of a software ‘bots’ or ‘digital worker’ (a program) that interacts with the user interface of a computer system or application to automate activities or tasks that humans perform on their computers. Intelligent Automation (IA) technologies (that augment RPA by leveraging advances in Artificial Intelligence(AI)) enable automation without interfering with or altering the source code of the underlying applications, and readily integrate various legacy and modern applications like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), CRM, calendar and e-mail. These automations are therefore marked by rapid return on investment, reduced operational risks, significantly enhanced efficiencies, improved response times and customer journey experiences. IA helps organisations automate high volume and/or complex process handling actions, whilst substituting or complementing the business users in completing those jobs. By performing process tasks more quickly, accurately, and tirelessly, these digital workers help their human counterparts to focus on tasks that require higher human skills such as emotional intelligence, reasoning, judgment, and interaction with the customer. Since the digital workers can operate 24/7, the turnaround time reductions of up to 60 percent to 80 percent are common. At GHD Digital, we focus on developing digital workers that are resilient, intelligent, and those that seamlessly compliment the human workforce to enable our client organisations to continue operations amidst increasing uncertainty and ambiguity. Combining the potential of technology, process and people our IA offerings will provide maximum value for your business. Our key offerings include:
