The Value Proposition for Mobile
in Heavy Construction
Heavy civil construction projects need to carefully manage logistics to
ensure success. As previously mentioned, these projects' complexities
are driven by large amounts of resources over huge geographic regions.
Three key resources need to be optimized in order to drive efficiencies
and overall project success:
• People
• Equipment
• Materials
The new mobile platform is well aligned to address the field operations
requirements associated with optimizing people, equipment and materials.
The following framework demonstrates the advantages of web and mobile
technologies on heavy civil projects.
1. Data access means putting the right data in the hands of the right people
at the right time so they can be empowered to deliver the best results. Some
of the problems we see with current field processes include lack of access to
data in disparate systems, time lag associated with finding information and
lack of collaboration between the field, office and shop. These problems are
compounded when the information is not structured or is captured in a paper
format. Leveraging the right mobile solution unifies data in a single source of
truth that is purpose-built for the specific user and addresses these problems…
• Automating data access by taking advantage of GPS enabled mobile
devices in order to deliver the information to the right people based
on their location.
• Enabling real-time access and collaboration with mobile
connectivity to the cloud unites the office, field and shop.
"Real-time information is
the future. If you are not
capturing and accessing
real-time information,
then you are behind, and
we want to stay ahead"
David Lebreton, Barriere
