Simplicity in Complexity – Transport for NSW Digital Engineering Framework

Managing digital engineering requirements for infrastructure projects can involve large volumes of data, detailed classification systems, and extensive asset information. How can these requirements be managed more efficiently while maintaining consistency across a project?

In this Customer Success Series, Nile Brady, Director and Digital Consultant at Digitized, demonstrates how their team applies the Transport for NSW Digital Engineering Framework using 12d Model and Cloud D.

The presentation walks through practical techniques for simplifying complex BIM data requirements, including:

  • Streamlining data entry with Snippets: Using project attributes and dropdown lists to populate common information and reduce repetitive manual input.
  • Standardising BIM object information: Applying a custom library of BIM objects with predefined project, location, and asset attributes.
  • Automating attribute generation: Using an attribute emulator file to generate asset codes, labels, descriptions, and classification information.
  • Simplifying asset register preparation: Extracting model data into a structured CSV file that can be transferred directly into the Transport for NSW asset register.

By combining reusable templates, predefined attributes, and automated data processing, Digitized demonstrates how complex classification requirements can be managed more consistently, helping designers and engineers focus on their modelling tasks rather than manually entering extensive data.
