6 benefits of digital methods

Digital engineering is revolutionising the way we capture, create and monitor built assets by integrating vast amounts of data with cutting-edge tools, 3D softwares and holistic digital workflows.

From 3D models to computer vision, engineers are adopting these technologies to analyse and report on assets within a virtual environment - unlocking unparalleled advantages throughout the asset lifecycle.

By leveraging these digital solutions, asset data becomes more than just static information.


It becomes a dynamic resource that can be readily accessed and shared with stakeholders, eliminating confusion and ensuring that all parties work from a single, highly-detailed source of truth.

"The fact that you can use your computer to do 100 beams, when you only needed to do 10... you then ought to be able to learn 10x more about the feel and quality of the outcome. We need to teach engineers today to use the digital environment as a method of exploration and interrogation."

Benefits of Digital Engineering

Why change at all?

Engineers Australia has reported “our greatest-ever engineering skills shortage,” with more than 50,000 engineers required to deliver a growing infrastructure pipeline that includes net-zero objectives and a wider technology adoption push.

The rise of structural management software has provided a practical and competitive solution, supporting engineers in their process by using accurate data to identify, monitor and report on their assets with assurance and accuracy.
