Responsible for the Barking Riverside London Overground extension, Morgan Sindall Infrastructure and Volker Fitzpatrick joint venture (MSVF) needed to deliver a 1.5-kilometre viaduct, terminus station and a new railway line, as well as modify and realign existing Network Rail operational infrastructure.
With a tight build schedule, MSVF contracted Sensat from 2020 to 2023 to create a collaborative ‘digital twin’ of the Barking Riverside London Overground extension. The team accessed monthly progress updates of the site to better understand the project’s constraints and empower decision certainty.

Bring information from different tools together

Keep subcontractors and stakeholders on the same page

Plan with more safety and certainty using digital rehearsals

More confidently make the right decisions

"We have been using Sensat to visualise the Barking Riverside London Overground extension to keep all subcontractors and stakeholders aligned and on the same page. With Sensat we can gain a holistic understanding to make the best decisions."
- Jim Bushell, Survey and Monitoring Manager at MSVF

The secret to Barking Riverside Extension’s optimised works delivery using Sensat

Laing O’Rourke and J.Murphy and Sons Ltd (Laing Murphy Joint Venture or LM JV) have come together as a main contractor to deliver a dynamic enabling works programme for sectors N1 and N2 of HS2’s phase one infrastructure build across the West Midlands.

As part of its approach to transform the way infrastructure is built, LM JV worked with Sensat to visualise 80km of the HS2 route, creating a digital twin that allows teams to access all project information in one platform. This ensured everyone worked on the same, quality-assured project data to make assured decisions, without having to be on site.

Better understand the overall HS2 route and its potential constraints

Bringing together multiple disparate files and surveys

Removing manual site walkthroughs and surveys to save time, money and carbon waste to programme overhead.

LM JV transforms HS2 working practices with all project information in one platform

Network Rail’s ‘Access for All’ programme aims to provide an obstacle-free, accessible route to and between platforms at stations across the country that were not originally designed with people with reduced mobility in mind— making it safer for everyone who visits these. As part of the scheme, Sensat along with partner Osborne, were commissioned to conduct a topographical survey of four stations. The data, which was made accessible on Sensat’s visualisation platform, serves as a single source of truth (SSOT) and a powerful tool for stakeholder engagement when making decisions on station development.

Sensat safely captured the required data in just two days. In Sensat’s visualisation platform, it’s possible to get access to all above and below ground data and information, including: geospatial and topographic site information, buried services and below-ground utilities, masterplan models and BIM integration, residential structures, and all engineering design information for the associated infrastructure.
