With a forecast public and private sector investment of around 200 billion dollars in Australia's infrastructure over the next five years, there is an unprecedented need to design and build this infrastructure as cheaply and safely as possible. Given the magnitude of the investment involved, even small percentage savings resulting from advanced research will lead to large returns in absolute dollar terms. This project will provide engineers with new and better tools for predicting the safety of geostructures such as roads, railways, tunnels, dams, and port facilities. Moreover, commercialisation of the corresponding software worldwide will provide knowledge transfer from the university sector to industry and generate technology exports.

预计未来五年澳大利亚的公共和私营部门在基础设施方面的投资将达到2000亿美元左右，因此设计和建造尽可能廉价和安全的基础设施的需求是前所未有的。考虑到所涉及的投资规模，即使是由先进研究带来的很小比例的节省，以绝对美元计算也会带来巨大的回报。该项目将为工程师提供新的、更好的工具来预测土工结构（如道路、铁路、隧道、水坝和港口设施）的安全性。此外，相应软件在世界范围内的商业化将提供从大学部门向工业部门的知识转移，并产生技术出口。
