Client: Aedifice
Local Engineer: Civix
Project Name: Selo
Location: Auckland, New Zealand
Project Size: 11 acres
Road Network: 5 miles
Tech Solution: Allsite.ai - Service AI 1.0

Project Overview
Aedifice, a leading property development firm, sought to develop the Selo project, a 11-acre residential community in Eden Terrace, Auckland, New Zealand. The project encompassed 243 buildings across 210 lots, with an extensive utility infrastructure involving over 5 miles of sanitary sewer, wastewater, and water supply pipes. To address the complexity of this large-scale development, Aedifice partnered with local engineers Civix who leveraged the innovative Allsite.ai platform, specifically Service AI 1.0, to optimize the design and construction process.


The Challenge
The Selo project faced several challenges due to its size and scope, including the need to design a highly efficient underground pipe network. The requirements were substantial:

555 (2.7 miles) storm drain pipes

385 (1.7 miles) sanitary sewer pipes

536 (2.6 miles) water supply pipes

The intricate design had to meet stringent engineering rules, including proper pipe cover, minimum clearance between pipes, and minimum grades. Additionally, the design needed to be cost-effective, balancing both capital (CAPEX) and operational (OPEX) expenses while minimizing risks of structural conflicts like pipes too close to retaining walls. Flood resilience was also a critical concern, as the area was prone to flooding.


Technology in Action: Allsite.ai's Service AI 1.0
To overcome these challenges, Civix utilized Allsite.ai's Service AI 1.0, an intelligent tool designed to automate and optimize engineering designs. Service AI 1.0 provided a comprehensive solution for the pipe network by:

Setting all pipe invert levels to ensure compliance with engineering rules.
Automatically designing the pipe network to minimize CAPEX and OPEX costs.
Implementing built-in QA checking to detect potential design conflicts, such as pipes near retaining walls.
Automatically sizing pipes based on specified catchments and performing a full flow analysis to ensure optimal performance.
Generating detailed pipe long sections, capacity tables, and plan views that adhered to Auckland City Council standards, eliminating the need for manual drafting.
Calculating trench volumes and setting excavation methods (shoring or benching), improving communication between developers and construction teams.

In addition, semi-automated flood modelling was conducted using the Tuflow flood engine, ensuring the design was resilient against future flood events.



Client Feedback

According to the projects Professional Engineer from Civix, “Using Service AI 1.0 and Allsite.ai, iterations of servicing design took less than an hour. Every pipe invert was designed with no overrides. I was blown away by how accurate it was, creating a design better than a human could—the design had lower construction and operational costs, giving a great result for the client.”

You can book a demo of our technology at https://allsite.ai we then will run a pilot project with you to demonstrate how the tools can integrate into your workflows.

Level AI is a grading optimizer that can perfectly balance large sites whilst designing levels such that roading complies with local rules and all lots can be services with careful consideration of flooding. The inputs to Level AI are a 2d site plan, topographical survey, local rules are pulled from the closest previous project run. The Allsite.ai platform runs on massive GPU clusters in the cloud running billions of iterations to ensure the site perfectly balances. 

Service AI 1.0 automatically designs the servicing network in 3D given a 2d network, sizing pipes and avoiding clashes whilst meeting local clearance requirements. Service AI 2.0 (ready early 2025) will automatically lay out the servicing network in 3d placing pipes in an optimal routing.

Level AI has demonstrated 100x speed-ups on large scale projects, this speed-up allows more layouts to be explored and better outcomes for clients. Case studies in the US have demonstrated the power of the tool, generating over $1 million in earthworks savings on one project alone. Changes to the design are easy, even after construction has started as the site can be rebalanced within hours and a new servicing network designed.
