The goal of this research was to develop a project document management system capable of managing Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) Capital Road and Bridge Program. Primary targets of research and development included the system, contract design deliverables (plans, specs and estimates), digital signing, project submission, submittals, legacy archiving and a portal for construction inspection document management. The resulting implementation of the Cloud based ProjectWise (PW) Online from Bentley Systems Inc. has delivered CTDOT a robust project and asset document management system. The system is integrated with CTDOT authoritative project and asset tracking data to automate project and asset storage and security management. The Cloud solution offers easy secure access for Department’s one hundred plus Consultant Engineers and state forces. The hosting offered a tremendous cost savings of server, backup, disaster recovery and VPN acquisition and maintenance going forward. Contract plan sheets underwent a welcomed transformation from wet signed Mylar’s to a digitally signed PDF contract set. Major asset documents (Bridges and Traffic Signals) installed or rehabilitated within capital projects are managed through their unique ID’s tagged to the capital projects, eliminating the need to parse out the documents from the capital project. A Real Time Kinematics (RTK) system for GPS construction inspection allowed the digital design environment to justify 3D model deliverables. In addition, an open source Web-GIS was developed, which offers intuitive interactive maps with hyperlinking to project and asset documents. This integration includes active, completed and legacy project information. |
