ConstructSim 8.1

ConstructSim V8i optimizes your project through the planning, sequencing, execution and monitoring of construction activities from within a data rich virtual plant model. With an intuitive user interface, ConstructSim V8i operates as a visual collaborative environment for your team, providing a rich set of tools to support the construction process.

Through its powerful features and functionality, ConstructSim V8i increases productivity, drives down costs and reduces project cycle-time, while providing improved risk mitigation and team safety. Specifically, it addresses construction issues such as material availability, cost to complete, information management, management of installation of TO-systems, and productivity of field labor.

ConstructSim allows a construction team to see and interactively plan the path of construction in a virtual model. Users can visually organize engineering components into Construction Work Areas (CWAs), which are further segmented into Field Installation Work Packages (FIWPs). This allows them to produce a more optimal and granular work breakdown structure to drive engineering, procurement and fabrication according to the defined sequencing needs of field installation.

This integrated virtual environment enables the following functionality within ConstructSim V8i:

- Virtual Walk Throughs

- 4D (3D + time) Schedule Simulations

- Automated Construction Material Take-Offs

- Automated Detail Task List Generation

- Life Cycle Status Tracking (color coding material availability and progress by area, system, spool/sheet, piece mark, task, etc.)

- Pipe and Steel Work Packaging at Weekly Crew Level

- Generic Work Packs for Other Disciplines (E&I, Civil, Mechanical) that take advantage of the database more than the virtual plant model

- Pipe and Steel Change Order Impact Analysis

- Tracking of the Design Changes Back to the Model

- 8-Week Look Ahead Planner/Constraint Analysis and Crew Planning (Beta)

- Weld Tracking QA/QC (Beta)

- Crane and Scaffold Simulation/Crew Density Analysis (Beta)
