Rich Draper, Head of BIM and Digital Assets
“The university continues to migrate more information into the CDE each day, including legacy documentation. All of this activity means we will always be in the best possible position to surface information about our assets quickly, without the risk of single points of failure and information losses.”

David Philip, Director Digital Consulting, Strategy & Innovation, AECOM
“One of the key goals right from the very outset was putting different levels of sophistication based on the Digital Twin Toolkit report, ranging from incorporating historic CAD, GIS survey data or point cloud right up to running predictive simulations to support strategy and planning, reduce risk and ensure the level of digitization is appropriate for the asset.”
