Digital Twin Victoria’s DTV Utilities Proof of Concept Project

⁠⁠⁠Help us Build DTV Utilities:

Here is your exciting opportunity to help lay the foundation of DTV Utilities! We will be seeking innovative responses to a Request for Tender (RFT) landing at the start of 2022, from individual suppliers and/or consortiums under a head supplier, for a Proof of Concept (PoC) Project Request. The PoC will involve the development and validation of the technology required to facilitate the ‘push and pull’ of utilities data between stakeholders throughout the lifecycle of infrastructure projects. Its primary focus will be on empowering the Big Build with better access to critical utilities spatial information required by/generated during infrastructure projects and its connection to the broader industry stakeholders. In addition, the PoC aims to validate how the high-quality 3D digital models, developed during these projects, can be reused – essentially stopping the data loss and duplication of effort and in doing so, ultimately develop a circular utilities data economy.

Background:

The Digital Twin Victoria (DTV) Program will fast track the adoption of new geospatial data and emerging technology that will help position Victoria as Australia’s skills, innovation, and digital capital. DTV Utilities is one of seven programs of work under the DTV banner. DTV has delivered an open-source pilot platform which will enable both government and non-government agencies to not only support the visualisation of multidimensional spatial data but act as foundational infrastructure for the development and integration of features and functions used to inform policy development and other decisions. DTV Utilities looks to leverage and build on the DTV core platform.
