Following extensive engagement with industry, representative specialist groups and transport agency stakeholders across Australia and New Zealand, Austroads has developed a guide to digital engineering.

The purpose of the guide is to assist transport agencies in Australia and New Zealand to deliver and operate their assets more effectively through obtaining better value and consistency in the application of digital engineering capability.

The guide communicates the need for a strategic approach to digital engineering alongside careful consideration and planning, clear engagement and support for its implementation.

This webinar will provide an overview of the guide, including why it is needed, the structure of the guide, approaches to developing a strategy, roadmap, implementation planning, learning and development framework, and case studies.

The webinar will be presented by Will Hackney and David Heins.

There will be question and answer opportunities during the session.

No charge but registration is essential. Can’t make the live session? Register and we’ll send you a link to the recording.

David Heins has been consulting, developing and specifying digital engineering for roads since 2016. This work commenced with consultation with the design team carrying out BIM on the massive Pacific Complete project. In 2017 he managed the delivery of the first digital engineering specification for TfNSW, authored by Harry Batt. In the following years he managed the consultation and action groups of: (i) the Digital Engineering Roads Design Industry Group (2018-21) and (ii) the Digital Engineering National States Share Forum (2019-21). These groups involved Austroads and other key practitioners and stakeholders. A key outcome from these groups was a recommendation for a national digital engineering guide for roads. David managed the scope and tender process for the Austroads Digital Engineering Guide.
