Victoria is leading the nation with the application of sophisticated technology and digital engineering to identify more efficiencies with major project delivery, including cost and time savings.

Speaking virtually at the BUILT Environment Summit, Treasurer Tim Pallas highlighted the new innovations that will help transform how Victoria’s infrastructure pipeline is delivered and maintained.

The ground-breaking application of artificial intelligence (AI) is a new initiative that is seeing Victoria pioneer the use of algorithm machine learning for identifying potential project problems and risks.

Victoria is now one of the early adopters of this cutting-edge technology, joining major infrastructure investors including global energy companies, European rail operators and engineering firms delivering complex projects.
