The W2QP project clearly demonstrated the benefits of digital engineering innovation.
The introduction of the Machine Avoidance System—a digital protection tool—significantly enhanced safety and productivity on-site. By creating a ‘digital shield’ that prevented construction machinery, such as excavators, from striking hazards, the system reduced the risk of accidents and costly damage.
This technology improved day-to-day operations and contributed to an outstanding safety record, reflected in the project’s achievement of a Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) of two, meaning only two recordable injuries occurred per million hours worked. This accomplishment highlighted the system’s effectiveness in achieving a safer and more efficient work environment.
Digital tools such as Revizto were used to coordinate effectively with the design team, while BIM 360 facilitated the collection of asset data to support informed whole-of-life decision-making. Digital forms and permits were deployed, with mobile tablets enabling teams to access the latest information from anywhere, anytime. This improved the capture of critical data and enhanced quality performance on site.
