• Abstract:
  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.
