DIGITAL ROADMAP
09:00 - 09:10
Chair’s welcome
09:10 - 09:35
KEYNOTE - Digital visions for business frameworks that support the cognitive digital twin
Knowing the technology end game helps in building digital frameworks today. This presentation provides a vision of the future based around AI/ML, cognitive digital twins & radical digital transformation. We also reflect upon what it means to be digital twin enabled.
09:35 - 10:00
Getting started with digital twins: Lessons from the southern hemisphere’s largest pumped-hydro project
Snowy 2.0 is an Australian pumped-hydro mega project that will underpin thousands of megawatts of renewable energy through its 2,000MW of capacity to pump, store and generate electricity. The project is a major expansion of the original Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Scheme constructed more than 70 years ago. While the setting is the same, the tools used throughout the planning, design and future operation and maintenance stages of the project and asset lifecycle are very different.
Snowy 2.0 understands the value of digital engineering – the ability to build assets first virtually and then physically – providing valuable insights, creating efficiencies and delivering savings across every project phase. Discover how GIS integration is enabling the reuse of BIM and drone imagery for virtual tours, driving efficiency and collaboration, while planned IoT integration will provide living twin capability to sense and simulate scenarios.
10:00 - 10:40
Panel: They’re just fancy BIM models, aren’t they? Evolving your existing digital design solutions to incorporate connected customers and the twin framework
Asset owners are realising that a coordinated approach is needed to deliver the required change in asset performance and efficiency. They want access to asset data held by their AEC partners. We consider the practical issues involved to make this happen and what kinds of customers are supportive of twinning frameworks. This session will bring you up to speed on digital twin strategy.

DIGITAL TWIN ECOSYSTEMS
11:30 - 11:50
KEYNOTE: Digital twin ecosystems - Build it open and build it together
The power of digital twins is that they can bring together location-based intelligence, 3D technology, building information models, digital engineering and real-time sensor data into the one place. Digital twins provide a unique opportunity to break down data silos and create a shared digital ecosystem for government, industry and the community to collaborate through open data, technology and algorithms to visualise complex problems and enhance real-world outcomes.
11:50 - 12:15
Creating a uniquely crafted, robust Digital Twin that drives collaboration and unlocks vital insights across the asset lifecycle
We have honed our expertise building digital twins in the energy sector, where highly complex assets, soaring capital expenditure and lengthy operating phases demand a value-driven, full asset lifecycle approach. In this presentation we will share our approach and how we translated this know-how into the built environment, by focusing on ‘right-to-left thinking’ to reflect operational requirements into project delivery – building the operating digital twin alongside the physical asset
12:15 - 12:55
Panel: Spatial digital twins – Forging digital partnerships to support sustainable cities and communities
Spatial digital twin proof-of-concepts are being rolled out in APAC cities. The developers imagine a series of connected urban digital twins sharing data to boost infrastructure performance on issues including climate change. Our panel gives us an insight on how the system will work and will speculate on the impact of 5G.

COLLABORATION STRATEGIES
14:10 - 14:30
Bringing project data together from its many sources, formats and phases to create a data-rich digital hub that tracks BIM asset data from design through operations
Building owners want digital data at handover to get the most out of their investment, given nearly 80 percent of an asset’s lifetime value is realised in operations. In this session you’ll learn: · How you can deliver a holistic and usable view of design and construction data as a digital twin for operations · Why a single source of truth for operations will help reduce the total cost of ownership of projects, and help owners realise the value of BIM long after handover.
14:30 - 15:10
Panel discussion: Cost vs value - Investing in a scalable, resilient and secure digital foundation for the future of the built asset business
Digital transformation for the built asset world has been slow to develop. Hesitation in investing large amounts of funds is a valid and understandable concern. The panel shares what they see as the future of built asset transformation and what role the digital twin framework has in built world construction and asset management.
Panellists include:Moderated by:15:10 - 15:30
Empowering stakeholders to collaborate at every phase of the building process
From five dimensional building information modeling (BIM 5D) to AI-driven scheduling, drone quantity trackers, human safety trackers, or AR-assisted wearables, the future is here, or at least within our reach. Yet to capture its benefits, project teams have to get integrated and change their behaviours. In this presentation you will hear why owners must lead the cultural change and pursue a rolling digital collaboration program with their supply chains to develop, implement and capture the increasing benefit of digital across their project portfolio.
