Delivering Victoria’s Largest Tunnel Project: North East Link
Register to watch for free
The North East Link is a $26 billion road project connecting Melbourne’s south-east and northern suburbs via the city’s longest twin three-lane tunnels. As one of Australia’s largest infrastructure projects, it presented significant digital engineering challenges across modelling, resource management, and multidisciplinary coordination. SMEC‘s digital engineering team leveraged 12d Model and 12d Synergy to automate workflows, develop custom tools, and deliver a robust project information model, saving over $1.5 million through automation across the project.

Session Overview
This webinar takes a deep dive into the application of 12d Synergy and 12d Model in the North East Link project, one of Australia’s largest infrastructure projects. The North East Link is a $26 billion road project that will connect Melbourne’s south-east and northern suburbs via the city’s longest twin three-lane tunnels, easing congestion and improving travel times.
Josh Allison, Michael Bozikis and Allan Walker of SMEC explore how 12d tools were leveraged to manage digital engineering requirements, automate workflows, and overcome challenges in modelling, resource management, and coordination across a massive, multidisciplinary team. Key innovations highlighted include the development of complex barrier systems, pavement modelling, and 3D signage placement, all designed to streamline processes, ensure quality control, and save time. Discover how 12d played a pivotal role in boosting efficiency, saving over $1.5 million through automation, and delivering a robust project information model for long-term success.
What You’ll Learn
- Application of 12d Model and 12d Synergy in managing digital engineering requirements.
- The role of automation in reducing time and improving efficiency
- Streamlining project workflows with custom-built macros and tools
