It is my great pleasure to welcome you to FIATECH’s Annual Members Meeting in the exciting Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts metropolitan area!

The theme of the Fall Members Meeting is “Creating Sustainable Business Value: Deploying Innovative Technologies.” It builds on our highly successful Technology Showcase in New Orleans this spring and will provide FIATECH members the opportunity to pick up where the Showcase left off on accelerating delivery of increased, sustainable business value to our companies.

Using the Roadmap and focusing on each of the Elements, we will develop actions on the deployment pathways for leading edge, innovative technologies. Through meetings and workshops at this 2 1/2 day special members only event, we will identify hands-on approaches on how we can deploy state-of-the-art and emerging technologies and solutions that will significantly improve the business effectiveness of the capital project industry and enable you to create sustainable business value in your company.

Metropolitan Boston is an exciting town – at the heart of the early history and founding of the United States. Historic Beacon Hill, Back Bay, Quincy Market, and Faneuil Hall – nicknamed the “cradle of liberty” - harkens back to life as it was more than 200 years ago, before the country was founded. We’ll have some time to explore this history during our stay in the area. But as home to more than 40 colleges and universities, including many great research universities with renowned scientific and advanced technology capabilities, the Boston/Cambridge area is one of the best known incubators for new technologies in a broad range of fields. This makes it a wonderful and exciting location for our Members Meeting where we can enjoy the old, the new and the cutting edge as we explore how to “Create Sustainable Business Value and Deploy Innovative Technologies” at our Annual Members Meeting.

I and many leading owner, contractor and supplier members look forward to networking with you and collaborating with other members these three days so that together we can accelerate the realization and gain the result of business benefits from FIATECH’s vision of a fully integrated and automated capital project process.

K. Keith Roe Chairman, President & CEO of Burns and Roe Group, Inc. 2008 FIATECH Members Meeting Chairman

Sensor Networks for Linking Virtual and Real Worlds Joseph A. Paradiso, Ph.D., This talk will overview recent work in embedded sensing by MIT Media Laboratory the author and his students in the Responsive Environments Group at the MIT Media Lab that address the broad theme of blending real and virtual with sensor/actuator networks. The technical areas that I will touch on include high-bandwidth, wireless multimodal sensor clusters, massively distributed, ultra-low-power "featherweight" sensor nodes, parasitic energy scavenging and dynamic power management techniques. The impact of these technologies will be illustrated through several application examples involving crossreality, affect-driven media queries, controllers for interactive media, active RFID, biomotion capture, human-computer interfaces and instrumented social interaction.

Experiences in Driving Interoperability in a Global Delivery Ray Topping, CH2MHILL Environment The presentation will provide highlights of the interoperable delivery platforms implemented on two Global Delivery Programs the London 2012 Olympics Program and the Masdar City, Abu Dhabi, UAE, Development. Information will be presented on the features, objectives, configuration and capabilities for each system.

Both systems included access by multiple remotes users, ability to operate with 3D Design files and BIM models, implementation across design, procurement and construction, and ability to electronically integrate with document controls and records management. Observations will be shared on the implementation approaches and challenges as well as the results being achieved.

Excellence in Asset Information Management: What is it? What is Andy Chatha, ARC Advisory it Worth Group Asset Information Management (AIM) is the foundation for and key enabler of Excellence in every asset lifecycle stage. Studies show that asset-intensive organizations suffer staggering losses each year as a result of poor AIM across plant design, build and handover. AIM issues likewise plague groups involved with facility operation and maintenance. Neglect in this area has also been linked to major safety and compliance violations that blemished corporate reputations and jeopardized their very survival. Asset Information exists in many forms and is created and used by many groups across the enterprise and plant asset supply chain. Each group feels some pain from poor AIM and most contribute to the problem. Asset owner/operators suffer the most as they incur the impact this has on asset performance. ARC’s research shows that collaboration and teamwork across all asset stakeholders is vital to ensuring good AIM. Each group needs to appreciate the impact

their practices have on asset performance. And, all groups need to align their practices and goals to achieve optimal asset performance. Leading companies recognize this need and have implemented technology and programs to enable collaborative teams of stakeholders within and external to their organization.

8:30-9:00

Pushing the Frontier: A Team Effort Computers push the frontier to allow designs of buildings having quite complex shapes. First, they allow the descriptions of the surfaces and then, their fabrication. At the same time, as the use of computers makes things possible, the collaboration of professionals with complementary expertise intensifies. A case study of the cladding of a high-rise building in Dubai serves as the vehicle to explore the collaboration that elevates to different levels. The technical expertise of the curtain wall designers is essential for the desired output as the shapes reach a high level of complexity. The integration for delivering the project calls for distributed modeling processes with different levels of detail, all linked through a conceptual building information model.

Nevertheless, the need for managing the processes properly and for clearly specifying the deliverables of each professional, are as present as always.

The engineering and construction industry is experiencing a severe shortage of qualified personnel. A lack of communication exists from industry about what technology core competencies are needed for the future workforce when they graduate from construction management programs. We need your help is determining a path forward on how to develop a technology enabled workforce. Join us for a discussion of current needs regarding our design and construction workforce. During this breakout we will also discuss what Roadmap Element #8 is doing to attract the future generation workforce and mobile technology user acceptance issues. Come and share you experiences, both good and bad, and help us to identify the key barriers to an effective implementation of this technology.

This session will have three presentations featuring the value/performance proposition for capital projects. We will discuss how to connect the facility O&M with service/ performance instead of a being viewed as a commodity that owners have to deal with. We will demonstrate how to connect the facility operation with the business proposition, which means we need to know how to measure value, not just cost.

Presentations will include: 1 – Energy – Distributed Control 2 – Knowledge based Maintenance 3 – Emergency Response

New Project Proposal: Specifications Automation (EL2) Technical codes, standards, and specifications (AKA “Specs”) dictate the basis for the lifecycle of capital projects and equipment. Today these are mostly static documents with a wide array in look and feel. The “Specifications Automation” project shall aim at transforming Specs into uniform, intelligent electronic databases to:

Leon Gorbaty, S&B Engineers & Constructors

Crispus Attucks

Develop and deliver a uniform software data structure for representing specs (OWL/XML).

Encourage and help develop tools for authoring, viewing, and enhancing technical specifications (e.g. Spec Word Processor, etc.)

The benefit to the industry will be a uniform methodology and a uniform look-and-feel for codes and standards, an enhanced usability, enhanced readability, and therefore enhanced adherence to technical specifications. As databases of specifications become more intelligent, and thus electronically mineable to programs and software agents, the implications and applications become infinite. This session will discuss the fundamental concepts and technologies for representing specs as software objects and demo (live) a Deployed Innovative Technology that implements these concepts and demonstrates the benefits.
