Victorian Infrastructure Delivery Authority

Making history. The Metro Tunnel opened today! - 5 new underground stations - Twin 9km tunnels - The biggest transformation of Victoria’s rail network in 40 years. Thanks to everyone who has joined us so far.

Join us at the Victorian Transport Digital Engineering Industry Forum. We’re excited to share how major projects across Victoria are using digital tools to deliver better, more consistent results. VIDA projects are applying new digital standards to designs and 3D models, helping everyone work from the same information and improving how projects are built and handed over. What you’ll hear: • How teams are putting the new digital standards into practice • The benefits so far • What we’ve learned and what we’ll improve • A Q&A with our presenter panel 📅 Wednesday 3 December 2025 ⏰ 1PM – 2PM AEDT 💻 Online via Microsoft Teams We’ll also share lessons from recent pilots, including the Kananook train maintenance facility and several key road projects.

🚀 Shaping the Future of Digital Engineering for Victorian Transport! The Victorian Transport Digital Engineering (VTDE) program is driving innovation, creating connected asset information across the transport sector. After the successful completion of Horizon stages 1, 2, and 3, the VTDE program is now full steam ahead with the Horizon 4 stage – focused on optimising the performance of the new Digital Engineering (DE) applications, tools, processes and standards we continue to deliver. 📢 Join the VTDE Town Hall on Thursday 13 November 2025 to hear key updates on: 🔹 Horizon 4 of the program – including the new Victorian Transport Asset Management Platform (VTAMP) and new asset data capabilities 🔹 Replacement of the Drawing Management System (DMS) with the Transport Common Data Environment (TCDE) – tune in for the demo 🔹 The rollout of the Department of Transport and Planning Asset Information Requirements (AIR) in new rail and road projects, and AIR pilots 🔹 Latest 3D modelling and DE standards, and more! 💻 Format: Microsoft Teams Webinar with live Q&A 📅 Date: Thursday 13 November 2025 ⏰ Time: 1.00pm – 2.00pm AEDT 🔗 Register now: http://bit.ly/47z908g #VictorianTransport #DigitalEngineering #VTDE #AssetManagement #Innovation #IndustryForum

Girls dig deep into STEM at Victorian Tunnelling Centre. More than 40 girls from three Melbourne secondary schools got a hands-on taste of the infrastructure industry at the Big Build Girls Industry Immersion Day, held at the Victorian Tunnelling Centre (VTC) in Chadstone on 4 September. In partnership with Monash Tech School, Holmesglen, Suburban Rail Loop Authority, Suburban Connect, our Capability Team within VIDA guided students around the facility and answered their questions, while showcasing the breadth of STEM careers through a series of interactive activities. Students from Highvale, Mount Waverley and Wellington Secondary Colleges explored the centre’s state-of-the-art facilities, taking part in experiences such as: • operating a mini excavator under supervision • using VR technology to extinguish a fire • navigating an excavator simulator to move materials • rescue in the SEM (Sequential Excavation Method), one of the techniques used in tunnelling. Highlights from the day were a career pathways panel hosted by VIDA featuring Annabel Quinlivan and Nicola Aligianis (Suburban Rail Loop Authority) and Hayley Jiang (Suburban Connect). The speakers encouraged students to stay open-minded, build networks, and seize opportunities – advice that resonated strongly with the audience. Students were also inspired to learn about an all-female crew working on the Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) for the Suburban Rail Loop project, due to commence next year, demonstrating that women can and do succeed in these roles. To cap off the day, each student was awarded a Digital Badge, recognising the activities they participated in and the collaboration of organisations involved. These badges can be used to showcase their experiences and interest in STEM when applying for future study, training, or job opportunities. Feedback showed that the program had a strong impact, with: • 89% learning about industries that use STEM • 40% were more likely to consider a STEM career after the event • 83% rated the program as interesting and enjoyable. The results confirm the value of immersive, real-world experiences in sparking students’ interest in STEM and infrastructure careers.

Meet Raymond Zhang – Electrical Engineer Graduate at the Level Crossing Removal Project (LXRP). 🌙 Electrical Engineer Graduate Raymond Zhang recently worked a night occupation shift with LXRP. He checked track clearance points, lead a safety talk on fatigue, and collaborated with engineers on-site. It’s not his usual 9-to-5, but it’s a glimpse into the hands-on, cross-disciplinary experience our grads get. 🚆 Want a career that goes beyond the desk?
