Web-based collaboration in horizontal construction

Electronic collaboration for highway projects under $10 million

“…This research project builds on past implementation of the web-based project management system, AEC Sync, in complex bridge projects over $10 million conducted by Aaron Zutz (2010). Action research, an iterative research approach, was the methodology used to identify a WPMS that was able to meet the requirements from the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) for the request for information (RFI) submittal and shop drawing approval process on the large complex bridge projects.…”

“…Appendix 1 is a conference proceeding presented at the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers Annual Conference held in June 2011 in Ottawa, ON. It is a chapter from Aaron Zutz (2010) thesis that was edited to also include the work performed on the smaller highway projects. Appendix 2 corresponds to the analysis of the post-project surveys for both of the pilot projects from the complex project phase.…”

“…The first Appendix corresponds to a paper presented at the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers 2011 Annual Conference. This paper is based on a chapter of a previous student who researched WPMS implementation in complex bridge projects (Zutz 2010). This paper was edited and information regarding the current project phase was added.…”
