How Accurate Drawing Access Keeps Yarra Valley Water's Crews Safe

Perspective
Maintenance Stage
Day 01

Yarra Valley Water manages nearly $6 billion in assets serving two million Melbourne residents. Its legacy system struggled to manage native CAD files, forcing teams to rely on PDF copies stored across hard drives. This made it difficult to locate current drawings and introduced compliance, security and safety risks. By implementing Accruent's EDMS RedEye as a single source of truth, Yarra Valley Water consolidated 400,000 drawings with rich metadata, role-based access and automated workflows, streamlining operations and reducing drawing retrieval from hours to just a few clicks.

  • Collated 400,000+ drawings from multiple legacy sources and hard drives
  • Defined metadata standards and acceptance criteria for loading into RedEye
  • Deduplicated and folded superseded revisions to streamline document control and information access
  • Loaded, tested and validated documents to confirm accuracy and completeness
  • Configured role-based permissions and automated review and approval workflows
  • Published a drawing standard to enforce contractor quality
