Project summary

The AUD 600 million Clean Energy Link – North supports renewable transmission delivery across Western Australia. APD Global needed to coordinate multidiscipline design packages for complex energy assets while maintaining speed, quality, and data continuity.

Using Bentley applications, APD Global connected design, review, visualization, and delivery workflows. This digital-twin-enabled delivery resulted in a 15% reduction in engineering design time, a 20% drop in downstream rework, and a 10% decrease in material waste while accelerating major milestones 38% ahead of schedule and saving 8,000 engineering hours.
