We’re delighted to welcome Sterling Infrastructure Engineering as an officially approved industry partner of the ARC Research Hub for Resilient and Intelligent Infrastructure Systems (RIIS).
Through the ARC Industrial Transformation Research Program , Sterling now joins the Hub in collaboration with the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) and researchers at the University of Melbourne to deliver an exciting new initiative:
“Digital Twin for Bridge Health Monitoring”
This project will demonstrate a live Digital Twin platform that integrates calibrated 3D structural models with real-time sensor data to monitor bridge performance. By combining structural analytics with IoT-enabled sensing, the system will help shift rail infrastructure management from reactive inspections to predictive, risk-based maintenance.
The project brings together strong leadership from both industry and academia. Raphael Woon of Sterling Infrastructure Engineering will help guide the practical engineering and deployment aspects, working closely with Dr Maryam Nasim (University of Melbourne, Centre for SDIs and Land Administration), who leads the Digital Twin and structural analytics development .
Together with ARTC and the RIIS Hub research community, this collaboration represents a significant step toward smarter, more resilient rail infrastructure.
We warmly welcome Sterling to the Hub and look forward to the impact this partnership will deliver.
