TOPIC OUTLINE

The innovative software system outlined brings to project construction sites and other engineering operations the scope for more effective management and detailed control of operations using ICT techniques.   The system is easy to use, is very visual, improves control, quality and safety as well as reassuring clients.  This ultimately saves money by increasing efficiency and reducing stress levels.

 

The best way to capture all sorts of information from site is to utilise the ever increasing power of PDAs and Ultra Mobile data collection devices and transfer it to a central website database and then make it available to those that need to know.   Defects, Snags and Non Conformances may be printed out or e-mailed direct to Sub/Trade Contractors.  It lends itself to Health & Fire Safety purges, Clean up Notices and other applications.  For key designated areas site photographs can record build progress as in time lapse photography. The latest pictures can be made available on the web.  Also, Room Data Sheets / Room Equipment Schedules are available on site on devices which record audited, date-time stamped results.  Reports of failures, passes, ‘To dos’ statistics are readily available.  Schedules can include Pre-Snag, Pre- Handover, Construction Stages etc. In addition, a Mobile Document Register can make available thousands of PDF drawings on site all indexed to location and available by discipline category such as Architectural, Electrical, Pipework etc).

 

SPEAKER PROFILE

Graham Henderson has wide experience in the development and application of innovative solutions to management and technical problems in the engineering profession and in the construction sector of the engineering industry.  He will outline such relevant experience appropriate to PCE UAE audience.
