Our client, Fulton Hogan, is a major construction partner for the construction of Australia’s national broadband network.
Prior to any construction work, a DBYD request must be made for each construction site. However, the DBYD service responds only to queries that are very site-specific whereas Fulton Hogan construction crews are working on large areas equivalent a whole suburb.
Our solution
Our solution was to create a micro-integration between Fulton Hogan’s GIS and the DBYD service to generate and submit multiple DBYD requests across the entire construction area.
The result was a “single click” solution, freeing up personnel to work on other pressing tasks and, at the same time, providing clear and comprehensive information on existing utility assets across the construction area. As DBYD requests were often on the critical path for construction completion, the elapsed time of the construction work was also compressed.

NBN Co is the government-owned company constructing Australia’s national broadband network. NBN contracted a number of companies as design partners, construction partners, and/or design & construction partners. One such design partner is Kordia, a New Zealand government-owned enterprise.
Initially Kordia attempted to develop its own automated fibre network design tool but it proved too difficult and still relied upon a great many spreadsheets and a great deal of manual drafting. Kordia contracted Realworld Systems to develop a better tool.
Our solution
Our solution with Realworld Systems was build upon GE Smallworld augmented with a design optimisation engine FiberPlanIT produced by Belgian company Comsof. Specifically, Spatial Partners developed the capability for automating the creation of AutoCAD design drawings (to NBN standards), single line diagrams, splice tables, and several other deliverable documents.
The benefit to Kordia and hence NBN was high quality consistent designs at a much reduced cost.
