Digital Engineering Framework Supporting Projects

More than ever, projects are utilising Digital Engineering (DE) techniques to navigate project complexity, achieve efficiencies or deliver cost savings. The full value of these emerging technologies is realised, when this data comes together across the full project lifecycle. 

The DE Framework is powered by a consistent approach to the way DE deliverables are procured and received. These deliverables become project information that can be effectively managed and exchanged between project disciplines. As this project information becomes interoperable, it drives a step change in the way we deliver projects.

For Transport, a consistent approach to DE enables a broad range of additional capabilities such as streamlining and automating processes, the ability to reuse data and information, and establishing benchmarks. It also provides greater insight into our assets, improves stakeholder engagement, drives stronger engagement with industry and offers more informed decision making.

Support for Projects

The DE Framework empowers projects as they adopt new digital ways of working. Working closely with the project team, extensive guidance and support materials are available; from defining project data strategies, to the final project data and information handover.

Support for projects includes:

  • Standards and guides – our suite of documents, which includes technical guides, tools and templates, support everything from DE procurement to creating 3D BIM models.
  • Extensive training – a series of DE Framework training modules are available for projects and contractors enabling them to effectively use the documents available.
  • Strategic advice – tools to help our projects determine and implement an appropriate scope of DE to support project objectives.
  • Continuous Improvement – we’re working closely with a number of key Infrastructure and Place projects to implement the DE Framework, with lessons learned and feedback captured to make sure DE is practical and scalable to all Transport divisions.

Training

Upskilling our people is integral to the success of the DE Framework, so we've developed a series of DE Framework training modules.

Training is currently available to all Transport staff and Contractors engaged for delivery on our Projects.

Our courses include:

  • DE Framework Awareness – an introduction to DE, including high-level concepts and objectives
  • DE Framework Fundamentals – providing guidance on the DE Framework, with practical demonstrations about effective implementation on to projects
  • DE Framework Specialist – delivering role specific know-how to DE implementation
