Overview & Client Needs:

The Sydney Metro Project, focused on tunnelling infrastructure, required a robust Construction Information Management platform. The client sought a solution that would enable employees and subcontractors to remotely access authorised safety, design, HR, and quality inspection data.

Our Solution:

Seers Digital collaborated with the project team to enhance the existing industry platform and develop tailored workflow solutions for managing construction information for the North West Rail Tunnel project. We created mobile interfaces specifically designed for various activities, including pre-start attendance, document review, safety inspections, defect inspections, and verification of competency.

Seers Digital worked closely with the client to coordinate and deliver the ORIS platform across partner organisations. The implementation of our solution resulted in the following key benefits:

1. Cloud-based Accessibility: The platform ensured 24/7 availability through internet connectivity, allowing stakeholders to access project data remotely.
2. Construction-Centric Software: Our software was easily customizable to meet the specific needs of the project delivery team, offering flexibility in adapting to evolving requirements.
3. Streamlined Process and Workflow Management: The platform facilitated efficient process and workflow management across all departments involved, including safety, design, HR, quality, construction, and community-related aspects.
4. Powerful Data Integration: Seers Digital enabled seamless integration of data from different software platforms such as GIS, BIM, ProjectWise, PPWeb, TPC, and SDS, ensuring comprehensive and accurate information for informed decision-making.
5. Data Sharing and Minimised Duplicated Efforts: The platform promoted data-sharing practices, reducing redundant efforts and providing real-time access to current information.
6. Mobile-Digital Processes: We developed mobile-digital processes to capture construction-related data, covering various activities such as staff onboarding, pre-start attendance, document review, safety inspections, precast-segment manufacture, final defect inspections, and competency management.
7. Flexibility and Expandability: The platform offered APIs and supported third-party plug-ins, allowing for additional functionality and integration with other systems.
8. Real-time Monitoring and Reporting: Seers Digital facilitated the availability of video/live-camera feeds for monitoring purposes and internal communications. Real-time status reporting and a centralized data source empowered the creation of dynamic dashboards.
9. Enhanced Collaboration with External Stakeholders: The solution enabled external stakeholders, including the Independent Certifier (IC), Sydney Metro, and subcontractors, to access relevant project data, fostering collaboration and transparency.

Client Benefits & Outcome:

By implementing our solution, field staff gained authorised access to project controls, improving their efficiency and productivity. The integration of Nintex workflow solutions enabled the rapid deployment of forms and process automation, further enhancing productivity. Seers Digital managed the maintenance and upgrades of infrastructure, multiple interfaces, and third-party systems connectors, ensuring a seamless and reliable user experience.

Overall, our Construction Information Management platform significantly contributed to the success of the Sydney Metro Project by providing efficient data management, streamlined processes, real-time access to information, and enhanced collaboration among project stakeholders.
