ProStar

ProStar Online

The challenge here was to develop a platform that uses state-of-the-art technologies to provide a solution that will support all facets of the utility asset data management network. The system needed to leverage global technologies and development standards, including cloud computing and XML, as well as integrate with current hardware and software systems. Guardian ProStar created a solution to accurately capture, compare, value, and distribute asset data in an acceptable format across all required disciplines and address all of the serious ramifications associated with poor quality of data. The system improved the data life cycle. Companies may now leverage improved data for other operations, such as planning and design, tax assessment, and emergency disaster planning.

Dean Feniosky Peña-Mora

Columbia University School of Engineering and Applied Science

To assist the A/E/C industry, Peña-Mora's research focuses on crucial elements that define and defy collaboration in global A/E/C projects: the collaboration, management of change during a project, automated and visual progress monitoring, integrated and intelligent sustainable construction, and the handling of conflicts. His findings have been tested in several important large-scale infrastructure projects throughout the U.S. and elsewhere. He envisions his methodology becoming an industry standard for the management of global projects with constraints associated with protection of natural, social, and political ecosystems.

Theometrics

David H. Koch Theater

Theometrics was contracted to supply dimensional quality control and risk mitigation services for the David H. Koch Theater project. The project included the main theater area, existing seating, aisles, elevations, orchestra pit, center line and HVAC systems above and below the theater levels. Theometrics makes it possible to layout construction work directly from digital drawings or models. Implementation of Theometrics will help drive BIM adoption with the trades. The benefits of this tool are better allocation of resources such as man‐power, materials and time; increased accuracy an overall reduction of communication and measurement errors and the ability to document existing conditions and work completed directly into CAD.

DPR Construction: Camino Medical Group Mountain View Campus - Building Better with BIM and IPD

The Camino Medical Group Mountain View Campus serves as a model for BIM and a lean construction/integrated project delivery approach. Sutter Health/Camino Medical Group challenged the design and construction teams to jointly deliver a 250,000 square-foot medical office building and associated 1,100-stall parking structure of high quality at a lower cost than the traditional design-bid-build delivery model.
