WSP collaborates with AWS to create Future Ready Digital Twins to enable more sustainable and resilient infrastructure

A digital twin is a dynamic digital representation of the built and natural environment that can be used to plan, visualise, report on and control assets and operations. WSP will leverage AWS IoT TwinMaker, an AWS service that makes it easier for software developers to create digital twins of real-world systems such as buildings, factories, industrial equipment, and production lines.  

Matthew Gallaugher, WSP’s Director of Digital, says, “Digital twinning allows for more sustainable and resilient infrastructure. One of the critical parts of making our cities Future Ready™ is connecting, analysing, and visualising assets in the digital realm. As such, we support the digital transformation of public and private sector organisations by gaining insights from data to help them optimise the planning, design, delivery, and operations of those assets. AWS IoT TwinMaker allows us to use data from multiple sources to create virtual representations of physical environments and combine existing 3D models with real-world data. AWS IoT TwinMaker is a great AWS service we use to create digital twins.”

Damien Cutcliffe, WSP’s Director of Digital Business Engagement and Growth says, “Leveraging the experience of local and international subject matter experts with decades of experience in building complex structures, gives us a unique edge in creating digital twins. WSP understands the fusion of engineering and technology required to design, build and maintain infrastructure – from an entire transport network to a tunnel and a bridge.”

WSP employs more than 700 digital solutions experts across the world. Our team has deep experience working on projects including LandiQ, Digital Twin Victoria and the New South Wales Spatial Digital Twin. 

WSP has also created a Digital Twin Guide to help users understand the use cases and applications of digital twins.
