Gallipoli Site Planning - Visualisation System
Urban Circus was commissioned by Definitive Events to create a virtual site planning tool for the Gallipoli Anzac Day memorial.
Client Statement of Benefit
Below is a summary by the client, Rod Lockwood of Definitive Events, on the benefits it has brought him by key category.
Time
"Finding solutions for numerous government departments can sometimes involve trial and error until the solution is established. The UC software now enables us to present multiple scenarios in site planning and infrastructure placement so we can present a visual and scale solution for consideration. Previously we were spending hours drawing alternatives which was a complete waste of time when the solutions were not accepted. The UC software is an excellent presentation tool as well."
Risk
"Risk Management is everything in the Gallipoli environment. The UC software assists us in two key areas;
- The ability to clearly illustrate the effects on crowd movement by the installation of specialised infrastructure is invaluable. By quickly and effectively being able to show alternatives in site design in scale allows our client to make informed decisions and for us to present an accurate design.
- Contingency measures to manage potential risks to attendees like cold weather and rain or traffic issues means are now designed into the site via the software and used to brief management staff.
The government can now sign off on risk management contingencies with confidence."
Money
"Gallipoli is 5 hours from Istanbul, Turkey. We cannot afford to make mistakes with infrastructure and contractor management. The UC plans mean that every piece of infrastructure is carefully selected, placed and meets all our operational needs before we sign the contracts."
Certainty
"When you are managing thousands of people in a difficult outdoor environment, under the scrutiny of the media, there just isn’t any room for mistakes. Planning is everything. On site we manage a large team of contractors who need accurate plans to deliver their area of expertise efficiently and accurately. The UC software has provided a powerful solution for our business."
Testimonial:
Rod Lockwood, Managing Director, Definitive Events Pty Ltd.
Definitive Events is the event services provider for the Anzac Day Commemorations in Gallipoli, Turkey. We work on behalf of and with Government Departments requiring accurate planning information in a difficult geographical region.
We have been seeking a site design and event planning tool to assist us with infrastructure placement, crowd management planning, site capacity management and logistical planning in transport and crowd movement. Urban Circus have developed a scale 3D solution allowing us to design to scale five sites located over the Gallipoli Peninsula. We have now removed the guess work in infrastructure placement, traffic management, crowd movement and contingency planning for this important event.
The Urban Circus software is a powerful design and planning tool enabling us to present scale site plans to the Australian, New Zealand and Turkish Governments. The presentation abilities of the software has impressed everyone we work with and empowers us with the ability to present clear and precise site designs with geographical precision.
We have found the Urban Circus team to be a pleasure to work with, meeting our deadlines and having the ability to work with non-technical people to deliver a solution which performs beyond our expectations.
To say we are impressed would be an understatement."
