Hexagon's industry-leading asset management solution HxGN EAM,
in collaboration with The APP Group, a leader in property and
infrastructure advisory, has been chosen by Intermodal Terminal
Company (ITC), an Australian intermodal rail terminal operator and
owner, for its groundbreaking Somerton Intermodal Terminal
project.
Situated in the outer suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, the
innovative 45-hectare terminal represents one of Australia's most
advanced rail infrastructure developments currently under
development. Upon completion, it will claim the title of the
country's largest intermodal terminal ever built and make history
as the first fully electric intermodal rail terminal.
The Somerton Intermodal Terminal, at full capacity, is projected to
handle over one million 20-foot equivalents (TEU) annually. It has
the potential to become the closest terminal to Melbourne to
accommodate double-stacked 1,800-metre trains. Additionally, the
terminal promises substantial sustainability benefits, expected to
eliminate up to 500,000 truck trips from Melbourne's roads,
equivalent to a reduction of 451 million truck kilometers, and
trimming carbon emissions by up to 189,000 tonnes.
HxGN EAM, an innovative asset management solution, is designed to
improve productivity and lengthen asset lifecycle. It will oversee
and maintain the entire asset portfolio within the Somerton
Intermodal Terminal project, including internal roads and gates,
truck and container movements, container washing, and fumigation
facilities, together with a 24x7 control center overseeing all
lighting, technology, and rail network control.
Brendon Gibson, ITC's Chief Operating Officer, said, "We are
delighted to collaborate with Hexagon and The APP Group to
implement their cutting-edge HxGN EAM solution for our terminal
project. ITC is a growing business and HxGN EAM's scalability
ensures that the solution grows alongside ITC's expanding
operations and evolving needs.
"Effective asset management is paramount to the success of our
operations, and HxGN EAM offers the advanced capabilities and
flexibility we need to optimise performance and ensure the
reliability of our terminal infrastructure."
Supratim Mukhopadhyay, vice president of sales at Hexagon's Asset
Lifecycle Intelligence division, welcomed the partnership between
ITC, Hexagon and The APP Group, which is providing implementation
support for the project.
"Hexagon is very excited to be supporting ITC's mission to drive
innovation and efficiency in the transportation and logistics
industry, alongside our industry partners at The APP Group,"
Mukhopadhyay said. "With HxGN EAM, ITC gains a next-generation
asset management platform equipped with advanced, scalable
capabilities to streamline maintenance processes, optimise resource
utilisation and maximize asset performance."
Construction on the Somerton Intermodal Terminal is currently
underway and is due to be completed in 2025.
