INVESTING IN PRODUCTIVE, EFFICIENT INFRASTRUCTURE - Out with the Old, in with the New

摘要

Aurizon Network has embarked on a project to produce a comprehensive Network Asset Management System (NAMS). The process has included compiling a single database from numerous legacy systems, then validating the assets comprising each of the corridors using the survey tools and software developed by Omnicom Engineering Limited. The paper will describe the methodology adopted to compile a database of assets that form the single source of truth which is a fundamental component of the SAP based system. OmniSurveyor3D is an award winning system that has been used since 1998 to enable infrastructure owners to map, manage and maintain large complex transport networks such as Road and Rail. As well as providing accurate geospatial and linear asset data, the end user software has a comprehensive set of tools that allows customers to extract additional benefits from the data. Data from the system can be exported in an open industry format that can be integrated in third party systems. The integration of very high resolution laser data enables accurate measurements ±1mm to be taken as well as automatic clearance assessment.
