INEIGHT CASE STUDY
BUILDING PROJECT CONFIDENCE THROUGH INFORMATION VISIBILITY
WestConnex is Australia’s largest road infrastructure project and is a critical part of a broader plan to get Sydney, and Australia, moving again.
Along with the New South Wales (NSW) Government’s record of investment in public transport infrastructure, WestConnex is easing congestion, creating tens of thousands of jobs, and connecting communities.
Commencing in 2015, the AUD $16.8 Billion WestConnex project aims to provide 33 kilometers (20.5 miles) of motorway to link western and southwestern Sydney with the rest of the city. Nineteen kilometers (11.8 miles) of the motorway is dedicated to below-ground tunnels which will drastically reduce urban congestion, providing greater accessibility to residents by returning local streets to their communities. Executed in three core stages, the WestConnex project consists of multiple project teams and will likely create more than 31,000 jobs throughout construction. Going beyond simply contributing to Sydney’s workforce, the WestConnex project will leave a legacy by providing valuable skills for local workers to carry out future infrastructure projects throughout the city.

Megaprojects such as WestConnex have a unique set of considerations and challenges that must be accounted for when delivering a project of this scale. Given the sheer number of stakeholders involved in the project from design to construction, and through delivery, every entity involved in the project requires transparency and accountability from all parties in order to achieve a common goal. Transurban, an industry leader in designing and building new roads, will deliver and maintain the WestConnex project in partnership with the NSW Government. Transurban, along with its project teams, looked to InEight technology to increase collaboration, enable greater accountability and build project confidence for WestConnex.
