Digital Engineering (Specific Project) – BIM PAS1192.2 (Level 2 Maturity)
Harry wrote a DE/BIM specification for our project. The project risks include constructability of a complex and highly skewed bridge over a major Sydney railway. Harry considered the project risks and tailored a DE/BIM specification accordingly. Through specific detailing of how the DE/BIM specification was written, it enabled RMS to be able to get a lot more value out of the preferred tenderers whereby they offered to complete the entire 2.2km project in DE/BIM whereas the minimum requirement was for only a critical 200m section. His assistance in this procurement process ensured RMS not only got what we desired from the tenderers but exceeded the minimum requirements which has produced a great value for money outcome for the Project and for RMS.

Training in Constructability Analysis and Safety in Design
Harry Batt was engaged as a specialist subject matter expert who was a key person on RMS’s team that developed and documented the HSiD system now used across all RMS TPS division’s major projects across the state. Further, Harry Batt was one of two specialist trainers of the HSiD system that was taken to the regions.
He has extensive experience in major infrastructure projects as project manager and design manager with site experience, all of which are essential to properly apply constructability and HSiD principles and practice and to train others. He also facilitates workshops in constructability and HSiD.
Harry has also reviewed and recommended updates to the RMS constructability process. Similar to his HSiD work this has been high quality.
He has extensive experience in NSW government procurement and project management.
Feedback on the HSiD system, HSiD training, HSiD and constructability workshops have demonstrated very high value for money outcomes. Through his extensive experience he provides significant support to project managers to achieve safe, efficient and practical design and to manage their risk.

Combined Safety in Design (HSiD) and Constructability Workshop – Facilitation
Harry’s engagement with both RMS staff and the Consultant Designers was exceptional from the planning of the workshop phase, through to the actual full day workshop and delivery of the workshop report. Harry (unlike many other workshop facilitators) was extremely engaging and used various methods to extract and get the best out of all the reviewers and participants that attended the workshop. His experience in Major projects meant that he was not only able to facilitate but also help guide conversations on technical matters.
