Background

Brisbane Airport, Queensland’s major aviation gateway, connects the state to Australia and the world. Following the completion of its new parallel runway project—one of the largest private infrastructure projects in the southern hemisphere—Brisbane Airport recognized the transformative potential of VertiGIS Studio. The data handover from the runway construction consortium, facilitated by Woolpert, underscored the value of GIS data during the defect period and beyond, revolutionizing airport processes.

Challenge

Amid significant transformations to its runway network, Brisbane Airport required a GIS solution tailored to its unique needs. Key requirements included data compatibility and efficient implementation of the Geocentric Datum of Australia (GDA) 2020 strategy. With a small GIS team, the airport needed a platform that optimized GIS operations while prioritizing user experience. Facilitating Brisbane Airport’s transition to VertiGIS Studio to optimize GIS operations and enhance user experience became a critical focus in addressing these challenges.

Solution

Woolpert facilitated Brisbane Airport’s transition from Geocortex Essentials to VertiGIS Studio, enabling the airport’s small GIS team to optimize their operations and keep user experience at the forefront. Building on Brisbane Airport’s prior experience with Geocortex during the runway project’s data handover, Woolpert delivered a carefully managed migration to an enterprise GIS environment in VertiGIS Studio, supported by tailored training to accelerate adoption and premium support to ensure continuity and confidence across teams.

Result

Since implementing VertiGIS Studio, Brisbane Airport has significantly improved user experience and functionality. The platform enables seamless app deployment, simplified document rotation aligned with infrastructure needs, GDA implementation, and effortless CAD integration. As the GIS system continues to evolve, the airport anticipates further applications and value through VertiGIS Studio.

Benefits As a result of the transition and enablement, user experience has advanced beyond previous possibilities, efficiency has increased through streamlined development and task automation, and data capability and accessibility have expanded across the entire organization.
