Abstract:
Abstract: For construction projects to reduce and control delays, proper planning and scheduling are critical. Each year, the construction sector wastes a significant amount of time, money, and resources owing to ineffective project management. Building projects have grown in size and complexity as a result of globalization. By decreasing the amount of paperwork you have to undertake, project planning software may help you save time and money. A project cannot accomplish the target outcome just by providing adequate planning, proper organization, and a sufficient flow of resources. A warning system must be present throughout the project to notify the organization about its potential success and failures. The primary purpose of this assignment is to evaluate the drawing in Auto CAD, produce an estimate in MS Excel, and plan, schedule, and track a construction project using Primavera software. Keywords: Project Management, MS Project, planning and scheduling.

Abstract:
The article deals with contents of the project management on general level first. It mentions the most widespread project management standards, which have historically developed in global scale, their parts and objectives. Further, it describes position of the building industry in national economy, its specific features distinguishing it from the other industrial production, contents of the building industry management and project management of structures. The importance of the role of project manager is documented by characteristics of construction projects, their course, contents of sub-phases, and individual types of managing activities. Attention is devoted to project planning – determination of realization costs, necessary resources, sequence and time course of individual works. The most frequently used graphic methods of schedule presentation – Gantt chart, network chart and frequency bar chart are applied on examples of constructions. These charts can be focused in time sequence on individual types of resources – workforce, finance, materials, energies, and machinery. In conclusion, necessity to manage the project management procedures is emphasized as a part of skills of a construction engineer in the role of preparation manager or construction project realization manager.

Abstract:
AbstractThe labor investment in ancient monumental architecture is an important factor in hypotheses concerning a society’s size, organization, and social complexity. Most methods of quantifying labor expenditures are limited to simply designed structures with a minimal number of elements. Due to the lack of practical analytical methods, complex architecture is often described subjectively, offering little quantitative value, resulting in inferences that could be misleading or wrong. Using Ciudadela Rivero at the site of Chan Chan, Peru, as a case study, this research employed construction industry-standard planning, estimating, and scheduling tools to calculate the labor requirements and construction times under various building scenarios. Additionally, the application of Critical Path Method scheduling provides the means to model and compare numerous building scenarios by simulating the effects of various construction and labor organization strategies in their cultural context. The results for Ciudadela Rivero revealed a labor input of over two million labor hours, which could be accomplished by a modest labor force of as few as 250 workers over a six-year period. These data affect numerous archaeological hypotheses concerning scale of construction, organization of labor, and complexity of social organization.

Abstract:
Time management is one of the vital key factor in the project management of any construction project. Effective planning, scheduling & control of construction project resulted in the reduction of construction time, cost overrun and disputes. Not only effective planning, but also proper organization & sufficient flow of resources to a project can automatically achieve a good result when preliminary works has been done for each & every activity. The study area mainly focuses on the execution of work as it is scheduled before the commencement of construction. This paper describes the sequence of residential building construction (G+2) in 99 days has been executed as a real time project and achieved the completion in 99 days. For normal construction of (G+2) may be completed in 180days, but this project completed in 99 days by using the technique called Task Based Activity Execution (TBAE) to the labours. During execution, delays are observed and overcome by using the preliminary works for the next activity. The sequence of construction discussed here will definitely enhance the project planning skills for the forthcoming project.

Abstract:
The framework of a construction industry could be identified by the nature of the work, by material type, contract volume, difficulty, and position of end products. In the planning phase of the construction projects, two fundamental constraints should be taken into account, and they include; quality and cost. To ensure a successful outcome, it is crucial to evaluate both limitations in the project's schedule and implementation. The management, economics, and quality of home construction are rapidly becoming a subject of international study, practical analysis, and execution. The construction of a project involves a broad range of complex operations. While supervising a construction operation, clients' demands and budget should inform of the adequate standard fit for quality. This is because if a project is not adequately managed, construction firms will encounter a substantial economic impact. Consequently, project management is a critical means for developing construction processes and successful completion of the project. This study gave prominence to a conversation about management, economics, and quality of home building construction. This is considering that customers are generally concerned with quality and costs when engaging professionals for procurement. The quality of the project outcome depends on prescription construction details, and the cost is the quality-related financial outcome. This study explains how residential building companies can create external partnerships, obtain direct and indirect support, and deliver optimal project results. It also explains how it is necessary to monitor and manage the quality and efficiency of the project via an enhanced economy control in the home constructions.

Abstract:
Green buildings help in sustainability, in terms of achieving energy efficiency and minimizing the utilization of natural resources. Additional benefits include long-term sustainable building management and maintenance. There is, therefore, compelling motivation for the building of sustainable projects. This inspiration has led to the development of the leadership in energy and environmental design (LEED) rating systems and projects by the United States Green Building Council and the Canadian Green Building Council. Proper building project management (BPM) of such projects is warranted. Pre-project planning is a crucial part of BPM that ensures delivery and performance of construction projects. Pre-project planning is defined as the process that encompasses all the tasks between project initiation and detailed design. There is a positive relationship between comprehensive pre-project planning and enhanced project performance. Given the motivation for environmentally sustainable projects and proper management of constructing such projects, diligent pre-project planning for such projects is required. This paper investigates the use of the LEED rating system in pre-project planning of sustainable construction projects by developing a matrix that combines the LEED and the Project Definition Rating Index (PDRI) developed by the Construction Industry Institute. The conceptual matrix and its application to a case study demonstrates that the value of linking pre-project planning with LEED to improve the decision making process during planning and designing of building projects to improve sustainability.

Abstract. This article considers the problem of increasing the efficiency of construction companies by implementing new approaches to improving organizational structures and construction management methods, such as building information modelling (BIM) and lean construction (LC). A review of existing LC methods is carried out, describing such specific methodologies, as long-term planning, planning obligations, minimizing resource overruns, workflow reliability and project management. Strategies and supporting mechanisms for the implementation of efficient processes on construction sites for companies with the functions of general contractor are also considered. The application of lean construction, pull planning in particular, increases the efficiency of communication between the participants of the construction process. The concurrent use of LC and BIM methods allows construction costs to be reduced. The LC-based BIM technology can be applied in design, construction and project management throughout the entire life cycle of a construction project.

Abstract:
The complexity of future societies will be reflected not only in the buildings that are created but also in the processes that evolve such buildings. Within the construction industry, and specifically in relation to large, complex multi-user buildings, operational planning and design processes will assume greater importance than ever before. Given that increasing complexity is likely to lead to increasing specialism and differentiation amongst the main contributing parties in a construction procurement project, it is also likely that there will be more disruption of the communication and organisation processes central to project procurement. These effects will be transmitted through the procurement process and manifest themselves in various ways in the final product. The most important of these will be the damaging effect which they will have on building function, where function determines the buildings' ability to serve as a facilitator of intended user group activities. Research has been undertaken to rationalise building design, operational planning and building function in the construction procurement process. Maintaining unity between the different parties responsible for building design and operational planning decisions is hypothesised as the key factor in evolving successful project procurement outcomes in terms of building function. Research into hospital food service building procurement processes has demonstrated that when building design and operational planning processes are not developed in concordance with one another, then deficiencies in the functioning of the food service system resulted. Seventeen design/operation mis-match outcome deficiencies were identified across three hospital construction projects. On further analysis of these project outcome deficiencies, it was apparent that the majority were due to problems that had arisen because design team members and user specialists had been unable to relate different aspects of system functioning adequately. In particular, there appeared to be an inability to incorporate effectively the catering technological and associated service aspects into the design solution, i.e. the elements that were not purely architectural. Some of these functional relationship problems were relatively simple and did not require significant design or user expertise. The most problematic deficiencies emerged when different components of the food service system (central production unit, distribution system and ward service) were not effectively integrated. Proposals are made for a planning framework which will maintain greater congruence between building design, operational planning and building function during the procurement process by allowing project contributors to assess the impact of different building design and operational planning decisions on the human/building interface. The planning framework focuses decision making around a set of critical relationships identified between the components of the building solution, so that any potential divergence caused by environmental pressures can be offset by corrective action using the critical relationships as the parameters upon which successful function must be based. This approach is a pre-requisite for the future construction procurement process in order to improve building function, particularly for complex, multi-user buildings.

Abstract:
Construction productivity lags behind most industries. In general, the process of construction is carried out in several smaller processes. For the overall construction process to be successful, continuity between these smaller processes must be achieved. This has been the persistent goal of construction productivity improvement for decades now. Waste is generated between the continuing activities by the unpredicted release of work and the arrival of resources. However, in recent decades the construction industry has a great need to improve its productivity, quality and incorporate new technologies to the industry due to increased foreign competition. In the late 1980s, researchers started looking at solving this problem in a more general and structured way based on the philosophy and ideology of lean production. In lean, adopting waste identification/reduction, or meeting the client's needs with minimal resources addresses the performance improvement. With recent developments in the construction industry, introduction of building information modeling (BIM) has had a significant influence on leaner construction. They are both complementary in several important ways. Various studies conducted exhibit that BIM is very crucial in reducing the project cost, site conflicts, project duration, error reduction, better and faster design development, and so on. This brings the question; can BIM be used as a tool for leaner construction? The objective of this thesis is to determine how BIM is helping achieve a leaner construction. More and more companies are adopting BIM as an acceptable waste reduction tool. A comprehensive study of lean theory and BIM was conducted, underscoring ways for BIM to help achieve leaner construction. The research was broadly conducted in three different parts. In the first part, a synthesis is drawn from a literature study to show that BIM helps reduce waste, helps in implementing lean techniques, and achieves lean principles. The second part focuses on the data acquired from a construction company to show that BIM helps reduce project cost, duration and conflicts. The third and the last part focused on getting the perspective view of different professionals in the construction industry on BIM by conducting focus interviews. A comprehensive conclusion was derived based on the findings from the three methods adopted.

Abstract:
Examensarbetet behandlar trä som byggnadsmaterial. I arbetet ingår en rapport med förklarande illustrationer samt framtagning av programhandlingar för ett bostadsprojekt. Byggbranschen står idag för en hög miljöbelastning där den största bidragande faktorn är materialproduktionen. Trots att trä är det enda koldioxidneutrala konstruktionsmaterialet byggs få flerbostadshus med trä som bärande stomme. Det råder brist på kunskap och erfarenhet inom träbyggnadsteknik av anledningen att en tidigare lagstiftning förbjöd byggnader över två våningar med trästomme. Studien har fördjupat sig i möjligheterna när det gäller lång spännvidd, konstruktionshöjd och arkitektonisk karaktär men även kraven för ljud och brand har styrt utformningen. Till en början förväntades trä ge upphov till en del begränsningar, främst gällande brand och akustik, men dessa kan till stor del lösas genom kompletteringar och noggrann projektering. Trä har många positiva egenskaper som hög hållfasthet, bra bärförmåga vid brand, bra värmeisoleringsförmåga samt att det ger ett bra inomhusklimat, vilket kan nyttjas i en byggnad. Fastigheten som valdes för projektet ligger i Rosenlundsparken på Södermalm i Stockholm. På platsen var det gynnsamt att bygga i trä på grund av bland annat dåliga markförhållanden. Studien har resulterat i en byggnad på 9 våningar, där den bärande stommen är helt utförd i trä. Stommen är uppbyggd av pelarbalksystem i entréplan och KL-trä på de resterande våningarna. Ett ribb-bjälklag har använts, som är en kombination av KL-trä och limträ. Resultatet visade att om tjocka bjälklag implementeras kan flerbostadshus med långa spännvidder uppföras, med en högre byggnadshöjd som följd. Långa spännvidder ger en frihet när det gäller att utforma planlösningar. Trä är ett flexibelt material vilket ger möjlighet till frihet i form. Träets naturliga karaktär ger en positiv effekt på människor och är estetiskt tilltalande. Byggnaden har böjda former vilket bidrar med kontrast till det befintliga stadsrummet. Fasaden är utförd i trä och även interiört är det synligt trä i stor utsträckning.
The thesis is about wood as a building material. The work contains a report with explanatory illustrations and a project planning document for a residential. The building sector has a big impact on the climate, where the biggest contribution is the manufacturing of materials. Wood is the only material that is carbon oxide neutral, but still a small amount of the high apartment buildings is constructed with a wooden frame. The reason behind this is that a former law prevented wooden buildings higher than two floors and therefore there is a lack of knowledge and experience regarding wooden building technique. Wood has many positive qualities, which can be of advantage in a building. Such as a good load bearing capacity during a fire, good strength, good thermal conductivity, and it provides a healthy internal climate. There are also limitations with wooden constructions regarding fire and sound, but this can often be solved with supplements and thorough planning. This study examined the possibilities regarding span, height, and architecture. Additionally, sound- and fire conditions had an impact on the design. The project resulted in a long free span in consequent of a thick slab and therefore the building height increases. The property that was chosen for the project is located to Rosenlundsparken at Södermalm in Stockholm. The condition of the ground was not optimal to build on, because it consists of clay. But an advantage with a wooden construction it that it is light, which reduces the land work. This study resulted in a 9-floor high building where the frame is completely in wood. The frame is constructed with a column and beam system in the entrance floor and CLT walls on the other floors. A ribbed slab was chosen, which is a combination of CLT and glulam. The result showed that if thick slabs are implemented, residential buildings with long free span can be built and with a higher building height as a consequence. A long free span gives freedom when making floor plans. Furthermore, the wood offers flexibility, which makes different shapes possible. The building has round shapes which makes a contrast to the existing cityscape. Moreover, the woods natural character has a positive effect on humans and is aesthetically appealing. Wood is used as a cladding to the extent possible both interior and exterior.

Abstract:

Building Information Modeling, or BIM, is a process that is quickly changing the way Architectural, Engineering, and Construction companies manage construction projects. Being a company specific process, only parts of the process have been accepted as a standardized method across every company. Those components that are not standardized have become proprietary to each specific company. The goal of the research is to provide a rich and complete description of the use of BIM across multiple Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) companies in order to inform and integrate BIM into construction graphics and management curricula in higher education. The literature review generated a thorough understanding of BIM standards currently identified. The methodology, a comparison of BIM theory to industrial practices, provided a broader picture of all aspects of BIM being utilized in current AEC companies. The results identified a comparison of all aspects of BIM to current AEC practices and paints a well-defined picture of what is being accomplished with BIM within company construction processes across AEC companies that are classified into several categories. BIM practices within each company indicate similarities and differences that give a rich BIM description across the entire AEC industry. The results suggest a high usage of BIM across more areas than just construction of the building branching out to all areas within a set of construction documents for project management.

Abstract:

The construction industry contributes significantly to the GDP of the United States, attributing to its growth at an unprecedented rate. Efficient planning on all stages of construction is the only way to combat dynamic obstructions and deliver projects on time. The first element involved in the planning phase deals with the layout of the Construction Site. It significantly regulates the pace at which construction operations function and directly affects the time, cost, and safety linked to the successful delivery of the target project. Hence, it is paramount to ensure that every component of the construction site maneuvers with the utmost productivity. One such equipment that occupies significant attention while carrying out the CSLP process is Tower Crane. Tower crane optimization is pivotal to ensure proper lifting and handling of materials, and warrant conflict-free work zones. This research, therefore, aims to optimize its position by maximizing the lift ability. To achieve the goals, Generative Design- a paradigm that integrates the constructive features of mathematical and visual optimization techniques, is used to develop a relatively comprehensible prototype. The first part of the research, thus, utilized Generative Design on two construction sites- one from the United States and one from India. After implementing the visual programming algorithm, an improvement of 40% was warranted in the lift score. A pool of potential alternatives was explored and supplemented by the trade-off illustrations. The concept of trade-off was substantiated by allowing a framework for prioritization of lift cycles, and facilitating a holistic decision-making process. To evaluate the usability, 12 participants were chosen based on their previous experience with tower crane operations. The participants witnessed a live demonstration of the algorithm, answered a Likert scale questionnaire, and appeared for an open-ended interview to provide feedback about the proposed Generative Design technique. After carrying out narrative analysis for the usability aspect- it has been unanimously observed that the technique has extreme efficiency of usage and can evidently prevent the occurrence of errors. The study concludes by providing recommendations to augment the significance and usability of Generative Design for tower crane position optimization.

Abstract:

The residential building sector is one of the most energy intensive sectors in today’s civilization. With population growth and a rise in number of homeowners the effect is bound to worsen. A wave of green and sustainable strategies is on the rise hoping to moderate some of the negative effect on the environment. From embracing renewable sources of energy as an alternative to fossil fuels, to improving existing home systems to become more efficient, the construction industry is evolving into becoming more energy conscious. One of the biggest obstacles to this wave is a lack of awareness and a fear of initial costs among contractors, homeowners and clients alike. This research will use Life Cycle Cost Analysis on a varying combination of residential energy systems and the researcher hopes to establish the trade-off between initial investment and long-term benefits. The case being considered is a residence located in Indiana, US. Using past and current utility bills and energy simulation data of different energy consuming systems in the residence over its lifetime, economic models are generated. This research establishes that a combination of passive and active energy conservation measures results in the lowest life cycle cost. The study will be beneficial for further research and as a framework for residential life cycle cost analysis.

Abstract:
AbstractDigital tools for fast-track renovation operations developed in the project aim to shorten the duration of renovation and disturbance to the occupants with BIM-enabled methods and tools in operations management at site and with prefabrication to speed up the installation tasks. The chapter presents an ensemble of tools, concepts and use cases. First, two tools are described that are used to support construction production management and user communication. Then a concept how product data could be used as part of the tools and further how the product data and the tools could support in achieving the overall BIM4EEB objectives in the use cases of prefabricated exhaust air heat pump and prefabricated thermal insulation. Target of the work was to improve the state-of-the-art planning and monitoring. A new tool was created that combines the BIM model and typical work breakdown structure (WBS) based project scheduling into location breakdown structure (LBS) based user-interface. Continuously updated LBS provide valuable information to stakeholders with web-service and mobile applications. The 24/7 situational awareness of the renovation activities status provides unprecedented transparency of the project progress. Hence, the system allows scheduling the site activities with shorter lead times to shorten the total construction duration while it is possible to immediately take control of possible deviations in implementation. The reliable progress data is available also to the clients and occupants with right timed guidance and safety instructions. The other aim in the work was to utilise BIM for increasing the share of prefabrication in renovation projects. The BIM-based design allows to manage the compatibility and tolerances between design disciplines and adapting those with mapped geometry of the building will enable the prefabrication and preassembling of structural and system components also in renovation. Two best practice examples were developed and described showing how to utilise prefabrication in real renovation scenarios.

Abstract:
The increasingly effective managing of risks in construction projects requires the stakeholders to collaborate, resulting in the need to integrate the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) to mitigate the risks in project collaboration. Our understanding of strategic planning of BIM adoption amidst a pandemic is still limited, and it is widely accepted that COVID-19 is a long-term pandemic that require a constant and innovative range of mitigation approaches to protect public health. The significant construction advances emphasize remote work and digital tools that assist in the project’s on-time completion. A fully digitalized approach is necessary for service continuity and rapid processing, particularly during a pandemic. Therefore, this study develops an adaptive digital collaboration framework based on Cloud-Based BIM technology to reduce risks while increasing workplace productivity and mobility. It resulted in a new way of managing the project information, enhancing the design team collaboration, and transforming 2D plans into 3D models. It integrates information to take a building through a virtual construction process long before it is completed, and each team member has access to the most up-to-date and current project information.

Abstract:
Environmental protection in companies gains higher importance as the demand for information on environmental performance is rewarded by society, market and policy makers. Additive environmental technologies encounter increasing ecological and economical borders. Production-integrated measures for environmental protection are much more efficient and sustainable. Such measures extend over inner enterprise and enterprise spanning order processing and value chains. They open up numerous possibilities for product and process innovation by combining ecological and economical potentials. The research project OPUS provides solutions for the organization of product-development and production-processes in and between companies under environmental aspects. Parts of those solutions are information technologies and information systems that support the processes within a company and over the entire logistical network. The development of methods, models and prototypes within the project is based on the processes of construction, process planning, production planning and control, production scheduling, balancing and controlling and intercompany environmental management. Results were applied, evaluated and optimised in different companies out of the branches of machine building, aircraft building, chemical industry, electronic industry and software development for industrial fields of application.

Abstract:
This paper is an attempt to explore the barriers to integrating sustainability into construction project management in developing countries. To this end, a comprehensive review of the literature is conducted, as a result of which a list of 30 barriers is culled from existing studies. The list of barriers is subsequently assessed in terms of relative importance index (RII) through a survey questionnaire administered to Iranian construction industry experts, resulting in a dataset of 176 completed questionnaires. Findings bring to light the most influential barriers to incorporating sustainability in construction projects for a developing country. These were: (1) lack of understanding of the potential selfbenefits of proactivity and high economic risks that unsustainable practices may carry, (2) inadequate assessment of risks and a silo-based approach, namely, insufficient cooperation among practitioners, research institutions and environmental organisations and (3) the lack of a systematic approach to planning and acting for the fulfilment of sustainability goals. As one of the first studies in its kind, the paper offers invaluable insight for researchers, practitioners, and policy makers, in supporting the transition of construction project management practices towards fulfilling sustainable development goals.

Abstract:
Skilled staff turnover plays a wide role in continuous knowledge loss in manufacturing organizations. The result of staff turnover impacts organizational performance, productivity, effectiveness, employee performance and knowledge. The importance of managing an organization’s knowledge is a need in organizations. This research identified the importance of knowledge management in the trailer manufacturing sector with high staff turnover. This enables project managers to take project knowledge management into practice within the organization. This study uses a qualitative research approach. The aim of the study was achieved by a case study research strategy along with 16 semi-structured interviews, which were performed as a data collection technique. Data were collected from the case study organisation, focusing on knowledge management methodologies used during the project phases and identifying the impact of staff turnover on organizational knowledge. The knowledge management techniques vary from one project phase to another project phase. Based on the outcome of this research, project managers can identify the most effective knowledge management techniques to be used at each phase. According to the study, the most frequently used KM techniques in the planning stage were “Learning & Idea Capturing” and “Refer Knowledge Base”. The most prominently used KM techniques in the designing stage were “Brainstorming” and “Learning & Idea Capturing”. While the most frequently used KM technique in the building, testing, and launching stages was found to be “Refer Knowledge Base”. From this research study, project managers can identify the critical areas affected by skilled staff turnover, how to prepare in advance and minimize knowledge loss.

Abstract:
The potential of blockchain in the construction sector has been recognized in existing literature, as well as its capacity to be integrated into construction projects to automate financial transactions for increased transparency, security, and control. Permissioned blockchain, according to existing research, can be utilized to create a business network among project participants due to its features being compatible with the nature of the construction sector. This article lays out a framework for introducing permissioned blockchain technology, notably Hyperledger fabric, into the construction delivery process. The suggested framework comprises explicit procedures that show how to develop a network during the pre-construction, construction, and closeout stages. The suggested framework also displays the flow of financial transactions across the envisaged financial system. Because of the capabilities of Building Information Modelling/Management (BIM) and cost planning. As a result, the framework determines the data needed to enter the blockchain financial system from 4D/5D BIM. The benefits of employing blockchain in the construction business were emphasized in a systematic literature review, which also selected the best blockchain platform. The framework can also be used by academics and industry practitioners to recognise the architecture of smart contracts (chaincode) in the construction sector, such as formulating endorsement and validation policies. Finally, the findings of this article will be used to develop a proof-of-concept prototype that will be used to test and confirm the suggested conceptual framework's applicability using a real-world case study.

Abstract:
Following a successful contract relationship between UKAEA and RWE NUKEM Ltd. to provide operational and decommissioning services for Building A59 (a post-irradiation examination facility) at UKAEA Winfrith, additional major tasks under the WOMAD (Winfrith Operations, Maintenance, and Decommissioning) Project were competitively won by RWE NUKEM. The WOMAD Project advances implementation of the overall environmental remediation mission for the UKAEA Winfrith site. This paper describes the four main parts of the WOMAD Project at Winfrith that are being conducted by RWE NUKEM. The WOMAD Project consists of the following tasks: • Care and maintenance of the two large nuclear reactors SGHWR and DRAGON. • Operation of Building A59 for 1 year followed by decommissioning and demolition. • Conditioning and immobilization of ∼350,000 litres of radioactive sludge in 500-litre drums followed by demolition of the sludge storage tanks. • Refurbishment of a storage facility and emplacement of the drummed waste. These tasks are performed by RWE NUKEM and the overall project is managed by UKAEA within the constraints imposed by the site licensee. The work is being implemented via a contract with RWE NUKEM using the New Engineering Contracts (NEC) suite of contracts (Options A and C) as established by the Institution of Civil Engineers. This framework was chosen because it facilitates good project management practices and encourages a team approach. This strategy has been taken to heart within the project and many joint initiatives are being used to develop an effective team that is working toward a common goal. In the relatively short time since contract award (March 2000), decommissioning in Building A59 is currently ahead of schedule and a number of technical hurdles have been overcome. The new facility for processing the external active sludge tank (EAST) wastes has been designed, planning permission has been obtained, and construction has begun. The first phase of safety submittals was also completed, and a Stage 2 Letter of Comfort was obtained from UK Nirex following a series of small-scale active development tasks. This presentation will feature current progress regarding schedule, cost, and quality aspects and will be an update on the position given to the IMechE Decommissioning Conference in 2001 [1] and the IBC Decommissioning Conference in 2002.

Abstract:
The construction sector can be identified as one of the highest energy-consuming industries in the world. The energy usage of the construction, operation, and maintenance stages is significant due to the complex nature of the industry. However, energy is one of the most undervalued resources in terms of efficiency and conservation in the construction stage. Higher energy usage and energy wastage in construction sites can be identified as significant matters, and various energy efficiency measures have massive potential for saving energy during the construction stage. Accordingly, this paper aims to investigate the sustainable use of energy practices on construction sites in Sri Lanka. A comprehensive literature review was conducted to identify principles and practices of sustainable use of energy, energy-using activities, processes, and the most applicable energy efficiency measures. The research aim was achieved through a qualitative research approach, and four case studies on building construction projects were conducted within the Colombo district. The case boundary of the study is defined as high-rise building sites. Semi-structured interviews, site observation, and document reviews were carried out as data collection techniques within each case. The collected data were analysed using manual content analysis. Key findings revealed how to use energy sustainably, what are the current energy sources and alternative sources available, construction activities and equipment used in the construction process, and reduce energy wastage by using energy efficiency measures. Rework, and workers’ behaviour highly affects the energy wastage on the site. Lack of planning, lack of information, limited space, and poor responses from the construction organisation were identified as the most relevant barriers that influence sustainable energy use on construction sites. The proposed recommendations for improving the sustainable use of energy should be adopted at the project level. Measures exceeding the scope of site management, industry-level support, and policy intervention are required.

Abstract:
There is only one nuclear power plant in Lithuania — Ignalina NPP. The INPP operated two similar units with installed capacity of 1500 MW (each). RBMK-1500 were commissioned in 12/1983 and 08/1987, and the original design lifetime was projected out to 2010 and 2015 respectively. But the first Unit of Ignalina NPP was shutdown December 31, 2004, and second Unit will be closed down in 2009. In relation with this, implementation of new technologies for treatment and conditioning of radioactive waste, construction of the interim dry storage facility for spent nuclear fuel and preparation of the licensing documents for decommissioning of the Unit 1, and some other projects were implemented or are under implementation at Ignalina NPP. Implementation of dismantling activities requires detailed knowledge of the radiological situation at the Unit 1. General Radiological Characterization Program for Ignalina NPP Unit 1 based on NUREG-1575 was prepared in 2005–2006 and approved by Regulatory Bodies. In 2008 development of the dismantling projects at Ignalina NPP Unit 1 has been started. Dismantling project of the emergency core cooling system (Building 117/1) is the first project in this field. Based on the radiological surveys data, detailed modeling of the radiation fields has been performed using “VISIPLAN 3D ALARA Planning tool” computer program (SCK CEN, Belgium). So, in this paper detailed information on radiation fields modelling, proposals for optimization of the radiation doses to the personnel, and emergency core cooling system equipment dismantling is presented.

Abstract:
Abstract Objectives/Scope An expansion multi-billion dollar LNG plant EPC project has successfully adopted end to end digital project delivery overcoming numerous challenges. The complete Engineering, Procurement and Construction works, is scheduled to be commissioned by 2025. An extension of the existing liquefaction complex comprising of six complete trains and associated facilities, meant to increase the national LNG production by 35%. The complexity of multiple inter-continental entities, systems and cultural divisions between Engineering, Procurement (in Europe) and Construction driven from Far-east had been significant and further compounded by Covid. To align all parties early using the Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) method and digitally mapping the systems and enormous data generated from each department (working in silos), were the main challenges in taking the job further from FEED in to Detail Engineering and Site Execution. The entities involved had adopted the AWP method first time for project delivery. Methods, Procedures, Process Based on the Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) and Workface Planning (WFP) philosophy, the whole project have been managed through a highly effective building sequence based digital detailed work packages for Engineering, Preconstruction planning and Onsite installation (EWPs, CWPs and IWPs respectively). The digital collaboration between departments and teams located in multiple countries, made all that possible and has been the key to success. The JV engaged subject matter experts in AWP, and also implemented an end to end digital project delivery platform. The platform was implemented as a non-disruptive overlay to over 15 different pre-existing software and tools. Their interaction into a single digital platform has been extremely important to connect and manage the various stage of the process. All the information from Engineering, Procurement and Construction flow in one unique database and interact each other. That allows all stakeholders, including the Owner, to manage and have the full visibility of all EPC phases. A huge amount of data and information centralized, digitalized and made available to all stakeholders. The flexibility in the customization of the various modules and dashboards of the system, has been imperative due to the different setups and approach to Construction from JV's companies and that's the biggest vantage to manage properly all phases of the project. Results, Observations, Conclusions According to various analysis performed on the project schedule, the Engineering phase got a 10% reduction of manhours investment against a contemporary AWP implementation, because of taking a digital approach. The project has started to experience a schedule compression consequently in Construction activities, that have started earlier than planned. By utilizing the automatic breakdown of CWPs into IWPs, considering the crew size and their rates, has led to a significant reduction in manhours spent for the WFP activities at site and in terms of number of personnel required. The early preparation has started to reduce the uncertainties faced in the field. Construction progress details are made visible through the system and utilising some of the 3D functions, and also get a graphical representation on a colour coded 4D report. The selective account permissions, makes relevant data available to any stakeholder in an easy to use and simple manner, depending on the department and company. One can view and work only on the required portion of the total scope, reducing the time of chasing information when dealing with huge amount of data. Furthermore, it provided a great advantage to allow setting up the contractual requirements based on the visibility of information to the project leadership of each company involved. Novel/Additive Information Conventionally, AWP implementation is resource intensive and time consuming for any new entity. Directly implementing this in mega project with companies in a JV situation is even more challenging. Taking a digital first approach and adopting a strong framework enabled by cloud based technology has been a great advantage for all departments and stakeholders involved. The project has avoided lost time in chasing information and people, decreased the risk of common mistakes in data retrieval and have increased their productivity. The advanced planning and the interaction with the project schedule, the deliverables and the materials availability in real time has been done smoothly. Furthermore, the Machine learning based material visibility, management of various warehouses have helped implement a smooth material pull for the project. The GIS based scope management along with the various 3D functions, are being used along with machine learning to drive continuous improvement for the success of the LNG project.

Abstract:
First generation nuclear power plants were built onsite with large construction forces over a number of years using a design that was being revised during construction. Vendor supplied equipment skids were the closest thing to modular building techniques at that time. Modularization techniques are available today as a tool for performing parallel construction activities such as fabrication and assembly of components offsite to support the construction cost and schedule goals of a project. Accordingly, extensive planning and coordination is required by engineering, procurement, fabricators, and construction to support modularization. The importance of developing a strategy for the utilization of modularization to the Nuclear Industry, Owners, and Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) entities, cannot be over emphasized, ensuring the development of a Corporate Modularization Fabrication Strategy, which incorporates and addresses the following, various elements: • Project Modularization Plan • Definitions and terms for module, modularization, and on-off-site fabrication • Module types • Modularization boundaries • Work processes for interface between Engineering, Procurement, Fabricator, and Quality to allow good communication between entities • Constructability reviews • Modularization schedule linked to integrated project schedule • Compliance with approved procedures and Quality Program requirements • Commitment from management This paper and presentation will discuss and highlight the following for a typical Advanced Boiling Water Reactor (ABWR) application: • Typical Corporate Modularization Fabrication Strategy; • Typical Modularization Concepts; • Modularization: Friend or Foe.

Abstract:
Abstract Operators, service providers, and contractors are improving the well construction system using transformative digital technologies across multiple companies and within levels of disparate organizations. Well plans are managed in a new way with the creation,execution and continuous improvement of processes to materially deliver value from the onset. A typical operator’s well planning process involves developing a well program across multiple internal and external entities in the design and plan stages while various requirements and details are considered and confirmed. As the well gets closer to being drilled, the well plan must also consider the capabilities and technologies supported by the service companies and drilling contractor.This people-based process leads to variability in assumptions and objectives in standardized plans which can result in execution risk and variations in safety, quality, delivery, and cost (SQDC) performance. One major variability source occurs because of the disconnected nature in which people move data between one another in well planning documents and then to field operations. The authors propose a new way to manage this process across organization and discipline boundaries to reduce this variability. This paper details how digital technologies were incorporated into an agile pilot program to create a common framework for the exchange and management of the well plan. It follows the plan from its development to implementation in a unified, seamless process. Further the authors will demonstrate how the solution was developed across multiple organizations to deliver material value to all parties. Three companies created a collaborative business model to deliver a new digital system enhancing well construction planning and execution in terms of speed and completeness of data transfer, ease of access,and availability for building new data-based workflows and reporting. This business model continues to drive alignment throughout the companies’ well delivery business functions. This paper illustrates, "What is the value that digital transformation brings to my organization or job function".The simple answer is that if executed effectively, the transformation should produce a material improvement or outcome for the business. Digital technology creates material business value as a project management tool directly coupled with wellsite technologies. This approach, in turn, will enable improvement of the well design and SQDC performance in the delivery of the well plan.
