Case Study: Department of Planning, Transport, and Infrastructure streamlines rail asset surveys with 12d Model by 12d Solutions

Department of Planning, Transport, and Infrastructure - Customer Case Study

The South Australian Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure (DPTI) faced a significant challenge in its Rail Revitalisation project, which involved surveying over 110km of metropolitan rail network. The department needed to manage a massive amount of asset data, including thousands of site photographs, and integrate them into a survey model cluttered with lengthy text annotations for unique railway equipment. 12d Solutions provided a solution using their 12d Model software to automate this process and handle the complex datasets.

12d Solutions implemented an automated process within 12d Model to integrate GPS-tagged photographs directly into the survey data, replacing cumbersome text descriptions with visual information. This solution allowed DPTI to create a comprehensive virtual site visit model that managed data across multiple disciplines including design, signalling, and geotech. The result was a more efficient and clearer model that facilitated better asset management and condition assessments for the rail corridor.
