Our Story (1)
 NCR 1970s until mid 1980s
 Developed core business applications on NCR‐mini computers. Included: accounting ,
HR, payroll, estimation, budgeting, and cost control.
 1980s
 PC Revolution
 Networks
 Migration of applications to VAX and then to PCs
 Early version of Talisman developed in Kuwait (Ahmadi Fabrication yard)
 1989 to 1998

Ahmadi Fabrication Yard
 Problem
 Client complaining low productivity of spools although a lot of material
available. CCC fab. foreman claims lack of material
 Solution
 Application that details material required by spool VS material available
in stock.
 Added billing to client for completed spools.
 Beginning of Talisman
 Take off, material management, workflows.

DAS Island
 Problem
 Similar to Ahmadi, but multi location. Fabrication in
Saadiyat island, storage in Abu Dhabi harbour, erection in
DAS island with limited storage. Quality assurance was a
must for handover
 Solution
 Current version of Talisman issued that satisfies all these
requirements.

Risk sharing (1)
 Problem
 Fast track project, delays in material and drawing, idle
construction crews, CCC relinquishing right to claim for
delays
 Solution
 Integration with 3D to acquire material required by area
(Beginning of WBS)
 Development of piping shop drawing software (SpoolGen
and Taliso) to assure fast turn around for fabrication data
to site once the drawings arrive
33

Risk sharing (2)
 Material Forward Planning (Simple simulation of construction
activity as per plan to validate availability / shortage of material
to achieve target schedule)
 Partnering as a way to press engineering client to expedite
material to achieve required progress.
 Organized take off in areas and subareas to allow flexibility in
construction as per material availability.
 Pyramid issued to validate progress at the level of the object
(Full WBS developed “Calculation earned value”)
 Timesheet developed to capture actual cost.

actual progress of activities
 Integrates OBS to show each work supervisor his scope of work and
allows him to plan and report progress on his activities (earned
calculation)
 Imports actual man-hours spent from timesheet system and does
efficiency calculation i.e. earned vs. actual man-hours
 Ability to perform what-if analysis & develop detailed 3-week-look
ahead plans
 Full Data Integration with TALISMAN, Document Management (VBC) and
Procurement System to update progress in engineering and
procurement.
Time Sheet Application

Taliso (Talisman + ISO)
 Problem
 Need to process shop drawings quickly after they are
issued from engineering.
 Need to replace a section of the 3D model with the
isometric as changed by shop drawing.
 Need to load detailed data in Talisman for construction
management
All rights reserved to CCC
42
Taliso (Talisman + ISO)
 Solution
 Worked with ALIAS to develop Spoolgen from Isogen.
 Developed Taliso as a faster tool
 Taliso receives data from 3D model, details it and sends
data back to 3D model as well as site tools such as C3D and
Talisman using IDF Standard (Soon ISO 15926)
All rights reserved to CCC
43
Taliso (Talisman + ISO)
 Solution
 Data processed
Field and shop welds location and number
Pipe Supports
QC Requirements
Material Requirement by time (construction logic)
 3 Levels of Material detail
 Construction count (door)
 Material required by time (frame, door, ironmongery)
 As shipped

Material Forward Planning
 What is Material Forward Planning?
An exercise to validate constructability of a project construction
schedule by considering the material (piping) availability
constraint.
The main targets of the simulation are the early detection of
problems in
 Material Delivery and Usability vs. Material Requirements
 Purchase Orders and Shipping
 Engineering Modeling and Material Take-Off
 Adequacy of site facilities

Our Story (2)
 1999 to 2004
 Realized the need for visual systems to access multi-faceted project data
 CCT Established
 VBC & C3D development initiated in parallel with traditional applications
 VBC Release 1 was completed January 2002
 2004 to 2007
 Major shift back to high quality buildings and civil works
 Establishment of BIM Center to service high quality building segment/GIS
 VBC as a Development Platform released (ECM/BPM)
 Preliminary vertical applications stated to trickle out
 Beta Releases of C3D; tested on project environment around 2007
 KM Initiative started
 2007 to-date
 Full implementation of VBC and C3D in CCC projects
 Extending BIM Center services to include infrastructure segment
 Surveying, GPS, Earthwork calculation etc.
 Creation of Simulation Department
 Development of Earthwork simulator/ Development of Crew Optimization Simulator (CIFE)
52
Visual Systems (1)
 Problem
 Current application has traditional interface
 High volume of data. Most users are reluctant to read and dig through 500-page
reports, hence, visualization
 Need to better use 3D models to enable project controls as well as visual
reporting. Most mechanical 3D came from our partners where CCC had no
control over content and format. In buildings, no common practice of using 3D in
design of projects
 Solution
 Decision to enhance current tools and move further towards 3D-based Lean
Project Controls
 Joined CIFE (Stanford) to better explore 3D technology and Lean Principles
 Decision to make software platform changes as step changes rather an
incremental enhancement to existing applications
 Decision to emphasize data integration a priority to facilitate the integration with
partner and CCC’s authoring 3D tools and sub-contractor 2½-D shop drawings

Visual Systems (2)
 CCT was established to develop these tools independently of day-to-day operations
within CCC
 Decision to establish BIM center in Cairo to develop civil 3D models and complete
mechanical models received from partner
 Decision to develop a 3D viewer/ Application Development environment with strong
data connectivity capabilities  C3D
 Decision to develop a temporal data storage environment for construction data with
document management as the anchor application  VBC
 Decision to develop web-based applications when possible in a visually appealing
interface with drill-down capabilities when needed
 Decision to emphasize handhelds as a way for construction supervisors to interact
with these systems
 Explore data standards to better translate 3D models between platforms.(ISO15296,
IFC, etc…)

Joined Fiatech for further exploration

Our Story (4)
 Currently offering a full 3D-based project-control suite of products and
services
 Modeling techniques to enhance use of 3D authoring tools as a basis of project controls
emphasizing scope management
 Data Integration tool to load (from)/export (to) data from authoring packages into project
control system, for example, Triforma, PDS, Estimation, Scheduling, etc…
 Data Management environment utilizing Talisman as project ERP and VBC as time-critical
storage
 Visual project control and reporting tools that
 Separate setup tools from site management tools
 Standardized WBS to enhance flexibility in managing projects if re-scheduling is needed
 Emphasize productivity through the full work chain vs. individual activities, through use of fragnet
concept
 Visualization tools either through colorization capability in C3D or Dashboard
 A 3D-based (ATLAS) project QC and Handover System tightly integrated with project control
and document management system
 Complete Integration with document management, timesheet application, and others to
provide a complete project reporting environment

Project Control Strategy
 Reliant Pull-Driven Technique optimize supply chain rather than sub optimization

Assure availability of resources before start of activity.

Emphasize productivity through the full work chain vs. individual activities

Prevent sub-optimization

Partnering
 Proper Project Work Breakdown Structure

Project/Area/SubArea/Fragnet/Activity/Object/Operation
 Integrated EPC schedule with Emphasis on Handover and Construction Activities.
(effective supply chain)

3D model built with WBS in mind and used as primary scope management tool.
 Early on Cooperation with the Partners/ EDI definition.
 3 Month Look Ahead Schedule/ Material forward plan
 3 weeks Look Ahead Schedule
Software Strategy
Technology platform
 BPM (Business Process Management): Workflows, Rich clients and document centric
applications.
 Visioneering: 3D and visual oriented applications / reporting.
 Automatic data acquisition and collection on sites using handhelds and RFID, etc.
 Electronic Data Interface, process industry accelerated implementation of
standardized data connectivity between all computerized systems. (IFC/ISO)
 Business Intelligence (Data warehousing, OLAP technologies, Web based reporting).
 (AI) based systems & simulation
