6/4/2014
2014 KSPE Conference
Innovative Project Controls System
for the ORB East End Crossing
Presenters:
Steve Nicaise, PE, KSPE – Parsons Transportation Group
Jon Antevy – Co-Founder e-Builder
Abstract
Learn how IFA/INDOT are using a cloud based project
management system to effectively manage work on a major
P3 project valued at $763 million dollars. IFA/INDOT and
their technical team are responsible for reviewing design and
construction submittals within 15 days. Timely reviews by the
owner are often the number one risk for P3 contractors. On
this fast track P3 project, this literally translates into
hundreds of submittals that can pile up quickly and add risk
to the project. Learn about the cloud based tools that are
being used along with automated workflow processes that
are streamlining the review process. The presentation will
demonstrate the system IFA/INDOT is using to ensure that
time-critical decisions are made on time.
