  1. CAMMS:Construction and Materials Management System Skip Powe, P.E. State Construction Engineer Alabama Department of Transportation

  2. Overview • What is it? • Background • Screenshots / Demo • Implementation for Counties • Issues

  3. What is it? ALDOT’s comprehensive software system • Developed internally • Documents our construction and materials/testing records • Reduces/minimizes paper records • Replaces SiteManager

  4. Background • Pilot project for SiteManager in 1998 • Test/modify/develop P&P/train for 2-3 years • Additional Pilots in 4th Division in 2001-2002 • Statewide in 2003

  5. Background • Annual Licensing fees $$$$ • System very generic • Modifications were time consuming / expensive • Database was a pain • System was client server and not web-based

  6. Background • We needed a change! • Started with system development in 2011 • Rolled out pieces over next few years • May 2016, Construction went live • Most field records including estimates

  7. Background • Currently, making adjustments/upgrades to CN • Developing Materials in pieces • Using Concrete Module now

  8. Background • Each person has account • Includes certain info to uniquely identify • Driver’s License • Also, all testing certifications • Links to samples and testing records

  9. Screenshots

  10. Implementation for Counties • Current, paper records • BC-101 • Diary • Field Books • Test Reports, etc

  11. Implementation for Counties • Estimates • Fill out pre-print and send to Area • Enters a monthly entry of qtys • Does a diary • Approves estimate • Submits to Finance

  12. Implementation for Counties • Change Orders • Areas also process and enter all changes • Supplemental Agreements, force accounts, time extensions, etc. • Would still do this like we always have

  13. Implementation for Counties • Concrete • Cylinders / placement info entered into CAMMS by counties • M & T uses info for breaks and reporting

  14. Implementation for Counties • Goal: • Counties use CAMMS just like us • DWR, Diary, DIQ, Field Books, Estimates, Samples, Test Reports, Reports, etc. • ALDOT implementing e-Construction • Trying to minimize paper (which is difficult for engineers)

  15. Implementation for Counties • Goal: • Mobile devices – saves you time and money • Saves Areas people, time and money for estimates • We all can do more with less • And do it ONCE!

  16. Implementation for Counties • Next Step: • Need some guinea pigs (aka volunteers) • Elmore County • Shelby County • Morell Engineering • After, case-by-case

  17. Implementation for Counties • Next Step: • Always begin at project start • No conversions in mid-stream

  18. Implementation Issues • Computers • Office and Mobile Devices • Internet Access (doubtful an issue in office) • Training • Using Area Coordinators (instead of Help Desk)
