17:45 - From BIM to Digital Twin : Brian Middleton (Vice President, Bentley)
As the world continues to go digital, the opportunity for creating and connecting infrastructure digital twins is staggeringly vast and diverse. Creating, visualising and analysing infrastructure digital twins beyond the dark data captured in 3D CAD models requires collaboration across the complete supply chain and a change in mindset from a single vendor Common Data Environment to an open source Connected Data Environment. Learn how global leaders are moving from BIM to Digital Twin.

18:10 - Managing risks- BIM in public procurement : Ilsa Kuiper (PhD Candidate – University of Melbourne)
Getting BIM right the first time is not always guaranteed. But avoiding unnecessary disputes is an essential part of risk management - including for public project procurement. In the presentation, we look at a case from the High Court of Ireland where BIM was involved as part of the tendering process for a €200M public private partnership (PPP) project. The case highlights the risks involved and further offers practical insights and key lessons learned for those involved in project tendering. For industry practitioners, it means the use of BIM tools is only part of the picture. It is critical to also recognise the implications arising from BIM applications and how parties conduct themselves.
Speaker Bio
A civil engineer turned construction lawyer, Ilsa is currently undertaking a PhD at the University of Melbourne in an endeavour to find some answers on BIM and public procurement of infrastructure projects. She also presents on BIM at the university, including as part of the Masters of Construction Law program.
18:35 - Queens Wharf – A Maximo perspective : Nick Rostin (Senior Project Manager – Digital Engineer – PDC Group)
Queens Wharf Brisbane is a $3.6 B entertainment precinct project that includes a pedestrian foot bridge over the Brisbane River, 2,000 residential apartments, 1,000 premium hotel rooms and a 1,000 seat ball room. As the web site says, “Queen’s Wharf Brisbane will provide a wide range of ‘quintessentially Queensland’ experiences to enjoy, and significant economic benefits for the local and state economy.” To make this complex project work has required input from a lot of stakeholders. PDC has been involved in the BIM processes and the impact Maximo integration has had.
This presentation will discuss the project, some workflows, and OmniClass, COBie and Forge integration.
Speaker Bio
With a background in design for engineering consultancy Nick has over 11 years’ design, modelling, building information and construction management experience. Core career experience was formed on multimillion-dollar infrastructure projects where Nick gained a broad range of experiences including creation of design and engineering models, working alongside construction teams and developing & streamlining design processes for major projects. Nick managed the development and delivery of the first BIM in infrastructure model for MRWA for the Great Eastern Highway upgrade, focusing on brown field buried utility capture. Due to the success of the GEHU, the processes developed were rolled out on the Perth MAX light rail feasibility study, Perth City link and Gateway WA projects with great success. Nick is now part of the $3 Billion Queens Wharf BIM team, managing 200+ models, multiple stakeholders and the delivery of an LOD 500 model to the client facilities management team.
