For the Stonehenge project, Bentley Systems worked with National Highways to upload huge amounts of mapping and visual data from different sources, including LiDAR and photography from drones, into the ProjectWise platform. The data is divided into relevant categories and then extracted and put through the iTwin platform to create a visual digital twin of the Stonehenge location - supported by the necessary technical, engineering and geolocation information. All phases of the scheme - which involves the construction of a new dual carriageway and an underground tunnel - will create massive amounts of data, which need to be organised, stored, and readily accessible. Like many organisations, National Highways is information rich, but with siloed data. This reduces the potential for added value, and results in inefficiencies. 'By not maintaining a full-fidelity copy of engineering design data with ontology intact, [we] had no way of repurposing design data and frequently incurred substantial costs each year recollecting data on existing assets to support updates to or new schemes of work,' stated Andrew Smith, digital enqineerinq lead at National Highways. |
