Minimise Whole Life Carbon Cost

From initial design to final decommissioning, digital twinning reinvents the way that work is undertaken and how decisions are made in infrastructure management. This drives an effective decarbonisation strategy.

Consider the improved environmental impact of virtual versus physical prototyping. Virtual prototypes are easier to share and so benefit from greater diversity of feedback. This improves the quality of design effectiveness, resulting in less rework. Think about the usual considerations that flow from the cycle of planning permission and stakeholder consultation session. Digital twin designs can be iterated with minimal carbon footprint unlike their physical equivalents.

The same logic applies during the build phase. Issues can be anticipated, decisions can be modelled, strategies can be rehearsed. More things work first time and less is wasted as a result.

Once infrastructure goes live, Forrester Research calculates a typical organisation can then strip out 75% of major, on-site visits – the ones previously needed for inspection, maintenance and fault fixing. It is worth pausing for a moment to reflect on what this would mean for your own organisation and the annual savings this would yield.

Let us show you how whole life carbon costs across the lifecycle of an asset or even an entire infrastructure can be dramatically reduced.
