Consultant Construction Engineering and Inspection Practices Within the Florida Department of Transportation
This paper presents an overview of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) approach to a program utilizing Construction Consultant Construction Engineering and Inspection (C-CEI)....

Construction Inspection Responsibility from the Viewpoint of a General Contractor and Construction Manager on a GMP Project
Absent local laws to the contrary, any member of the construction team, the Owner, Architect, or Contractor, can theoretically arrange for and provide any testing and inspection that may...

Contractor Inspection
Partnering between the owner, architect-engineer (A-E) and construction contractor creates an environment which facilitates the successful completion of quality construction. Each participant...

Introduction to Immersed Tube Tunneling Symposium
Today's Symposium on Immersed Tube Tunneling is a continuation of a series of papers that began at Construction Congress '89 with discussion of mined tunnel subaqueous...

Central Artery (I-93)/Tunnel (I-90) Project
This paper is intended to provide an overview of the Boston Central Artery/Tunnel Project (CA/T) Project; a $4.9 billion USD interstate highway constructed underground through a densely...

Geotechnical and Construction Aspects of the Immersed Tube Tunnel in Boston Harbor
An immersed tube tunnel (ITT) approximately 3,850 feet in length will be constructed as a part of the Central Artery/Tunnel Interstate Highway Project located in Boston, Massachusetts....

Seismic Design Issues for Immersed Tube Tunnels
This paper provides an overview of the issues and the state of the art techniques in the seismic design of immersed tube tunnels (ITT). Particular focus is given to the ITT presently planned...

Electronic Communication Between Project Participants
Fragmentation in the U.S. construction industry is perceived as one of the major contributors to reduced productivity. Lack of communication may be the main difficulty. Communication is...

An Object-Oriented Simulation System for Construction Process Planning
This paper presents an object-oriented simulation system designed to integrate specific construction knowledge into construction process planning. Using the object-oriented representation,...

Site Layout: Where Should it Go?
Site layout is mostly treated as a task independent of other resource allocation tasks such as those that are traditionally associated with construction planning and scheduling. Yet, the...

Construction Technology/Method Identification and Selection System
The proliferation of construction technology and the characteristics of technology information, such as complexity, interdependency, etc., pose the need for a well-organized technology...

Resource-Driven Scheduling
As the project management techniques get applied to more and more human resource intensive projects, the topic of more effective resource planning has become one of the major issues in...

Integration of CAD and Material Control
The purpose of this paper is to address the relationship between CAD (Computer Aided Design) drawings and the material control software. Computer generated drawings have the ability to...

3-D Positioning for Construction Surveying and Automation
Three-dimensional real-time positioning is a critical requirement to allow for improved surveying and autonomous vehicle control. Given such a system and a project data link, multiple...

Smart Exception Reporting
Project control systems that contain a degree of 'intelligence' are possible with today's technologies. At the same time project controls engineers...

Radio Frequency Data Communication Applications in the Construction Industry
