We made a digital twin (DT) of the tunnels that we manage on behalf of the province of North Holland. We're responsible for operating, controlling, and monitoring those tunnels. The data of the tunnels in the DT make the management and maintenance process much easier. Through its application, the DT is a central database in which we as tunnel administrator—along with the subcontractors and our client—can work directly. Accordingly, we all have up-to-date information about the status of the asset. As an administrator, we know the status of reliability, availability, and safety at all times. The contractor can immediately assess the severity and nature of defects and immediately has insight into the required material for carrying out the maintenance. Based on current information, the owner can make strategic decisions. An extensive effort was necessary regarding the original working method. With the DT, the process steps were reduced by almost 50%.
