This chapter introduces GoogleEarthWork which is an augmented geographic information system (GIS) based on Google Earth to manage and visualize heterogeneous site information, especially 3D models, aerial and ground images, panoramas, and GIS data of the site environment. The concept is to realize a highly automated end-to-end earthwork construction planning system that is able to generate project management deliverables from heterogeneous information and enhance the usefulness and intelligence of GIS for better project planning and control in earthwork construction. With identified constraints from the augmented Google Earth, the earthwork planning problem is formulated, and an optimized executable plan can be automatically generated, including work breakdown structure and project network model. Demonstration cases are provided to prove concepts of and illustrate functionalities of GoogleEarthWork in support of earthwork construction planning in realistic settings.

“…Integration of spatial and non-spatial information on a database platform, registration of locations to the real world coordinates, and spatial analytical capabilities are the distinguishing merits of GIS, leading to the proliferation of its applications in civil engineering (Miles and Ho 1999;Poku and Arditi 2006). In construction, researchers have applied GIS in 2D site layout studies (Cheng and O'Connor 1996), monitoring and visualizing project progress (Cheng and Chen 2000;Poku and Arditi 2006), managing soil data pertaining to boreholes (Oloufa et al 1994), planning material site layout (Cheng and Yang 2001), and construction databases (Udo-Inyang and Uzoije 1997).…”

Construction site is rugged, dynamic, and complex, involving large number of resources that intensively interact with each other with varying site activities. Being able to precisely locate, and track the site dynamics is critical to project management. Studies have explored the potential of the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology in estimating the two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) locations of construction site objects at discrete time points. Information systems based on the RFID technology have emerged to assist decision-making in construction project management tasks. However, for the purpose of tracking the construction site dynamics, both capabilities of estimating the 2D and 3D locations of site objects at discrete time points and tracking the real-time movement of site objects must be incorporated in the tracking system, leading to a four-dimensional (4D) system. This paper presents the framework of a 4D tracking system to continuously track the 4D status of construction site dynamics. The framework consists of RFID, global positioning system (GPS) wireless sensor network and geographical information system (GIS). A prototype system was implemented based on the 4D framework and tested in a field experiment to verify the system implementation.

“…The authors of the paper [1] have used a GIS technology to construction contractor prequalification. In the [2] developed an integrated GIS that aids managers in activities related to onsite soil condition. In the work [3] presented the system, MaterialPlan, which integrated GISbased cost estimates with construction scheduling to automate planning tasks required for materials layout.…”

Geographical information System (GIS) is an instrument forintegration appropriate spatial data into the geographical system. The data based on space information received from satellite for the purpose needed to be considered for indicated problem solution can be provided by using remote sensing methods throughout satellite images. This instrument allows gathering, storing, analyzing, editing, sharing information and successfully using in wide required areas. In the meantime GIS is a tool creating an environment for interactive quires, analyze the spatial information, edit data, develop maps and present outcomes of all these operations.Keywords: Geographical information system, engineering management, space data, data processing, project management and assessment, project design.
