Designing to Enhance Construction Planning & Monitoring

Editor's Notes

• #5: Triforma and Revit 3D for clash checking Non-modeled items (Cables) Partnering with EP, not imposing C to be involved in supplier/vendor meetings in order to agree on requirements (Steel structure delivery by bay rather than weight) Asking supplier for 3D Model in case of packages like boiler for example. Another example is the delivery of structural steel where the manufacturer delivers by weight rather than by completed bay. (not anymore)
• #6: Assure availability of required resources before start of activity. Emphasize productivity through the full work chain vs. individual activities Prevent sub-optimization WBS: Project/Area/ sub area/ fragnet /activity/object/operation (Engineering usually stops at level 3) Data transfer, contents, media of transfer, format, frequency, etc.
• #7: 3D Model built with proper WBS Front End Loading in AWP Workflow and notifications on delays, revision, On-Hold, etc. Defining the information to be handed over at each stage to the next subsequent stage Using mobiles for raising RFIs Cost and Schedule impact for any change EWPs to be defined in coordination between EP & C in order to be in line with construction WBS: Most engineering deliverables are at level 3 of the WBS Need to be on level 4 Extend CWP to be multidiscipline (work-fronts) to prevent sub-optimization. Engineering delays to be shared with contractor It is highly recommended that owners come on board because: Project Cost is not only EPC. O and M is a big part of the cost (Handover)
• #8: Mapping documents related to each object Level of details (LOD) Naming convension Update frequency & Change Management Model format from S/C
• #12: But we understood the challenge, we have been doing that for the last 15 years But this is a huge scale, a complex design, many obstacles and very demanding stakeholders …so many participants in the process
• #13: It is important to highlight the fact that the extreme complexity of the project could be handled effectively within our Authoring solutions…This was an important factor in our decision to keep on using Bentley as our main BIM platform for this project
• #20: In addition to a collaboration solution we thought of a way to attract the client and other stake holders like subcontractors to come and be excited about solving the different issues together on the same table… This was an innovative idea, where we have worked with Sharp Technologies to customize for us this Video wall It consists of 9 big screens with a total dimension of 4 m width x 2.4 m high Each screen is connected with a very robust machine that has a 10 fingers touch screen It can host up to 9 subcontractors at the same time… This I-Room hosts daily meetings that address different problems in construction and many of them could be solved in very fast and efficient way We managed using such technology to cut down the lenghy RFI process from 28 days down to 7 and in some cases 2 days
• #24: 4D simulation studies is another field that all of us are making benefits out its utilization to make sure that our construction schedules are construable. It is worth mentioning that In our studies we always include temporary elements (such as scaffolding, formwork, propping….) equipment's, tower cranes , accessibility
• #27: 4D simulation studies is another field that all of us are making benefits out its utilization to make sure that our construction schedules are construable. It is worth mentioning that In our studies we always include temporary elements (such as scaffolding, formwork, propping….) equipment's, tower cranes , accessibility
• #28: 4D simulation studies is another field that all of us are making benefits out its utilization to make sure that our construction schedules are construable.
