  2. Bringing High Technology to Capital Facilities Bill Brubaker Director, Facilities Engineering National Aeronautics and Space Administration Construction Industry Institute 2000 Annual Conference Nashville, Tennessee August 9, 2000

  3. What is FIATECH? • Conceived by CII, NIST as breakthrough opportunity • Modeled after highly successful National Center for Manufacturing Sciences • Established by CII during 1999/2000 • Research, Development, and Deployment • Industry-led, collaborative, not-for-profit cooperative research corporation • Will seek leveraged funding • Full time staff develop funding & manage projects

  4. CII Role in Founding FIATECH • Industry catalyst to launch consortium • broad owner/contractor/supplier participation • critical early seed money • IPR, liability, anti-trust protection through UT • Direction, guidance, leadership establishing FIATECH’s underlying principles • Ongoing leadership support through FIATECH governing board

  5. Founding Principles • Industry Integration • coalesce industry consensus on FIAPP • Collaboration • focus on FIAPP items of common interest • Competition • individual application and adaptation of RD&D • Intellectual Property • differential IP, access for all FIATECH members • Leveraged Funding • key financing strategy for projects • Anti-Trust Protection • Provided by University of Texas

  6.

  10. Vision and Path Forward Ric Jackson Managing Director The FIATECH Consortium Construction Industry Institute 2000 Annual Conference Nashville, Tennessee August 9, 2000

  11. FIATECH Vision Owners, operators, contractors, and suppliers working together to accelerate the realization of Fully Integrated and Automated Project Processes for major capital facilities Accelerating and realizing the full promise FIAPP!

  12. Fully Integrated & Automated Project Processes • Seamless integration of information flow among all participants throughout entire project life cycle • Application of latest available proven technologies: • CAD and CAE • Advanced communications • Field sensing and tracking • Modularization • Pre-construction • Field automation • Construction automation • Breakthrough improvements in quality, schedule, cost, resulting in improved ROI FIATECH makes FIAPP happen !

  13. Roadblocks to Achieving the Promise of FIAPP • Highly fragmented industry • No common vision for FIAPP • No roadmap to achieve that vision • No common industry voice to lead development • Anti-trust and intellectual property issues • Low research and development budgets • Costs too high for any one company • Lack of common protocols and standards Each company is trying to do FIAPP independently!

  14. FIATECH will... • Document industry needs and priorities • Develop common industryvision for FIAPP • Develop roadmaps to achieve FIAPP vision • Develop projects to follow the roadmap • Obtain leverage funding to accelerate progress ...make FIAPP a reality for the construction industry!

  15. Funding Opportunities • Cooperative R&D agreements • National Science Foundation • Advanced Technology Program • Sloan Construction Program/UT Austin • National Institutes of Safety & Health • U.S. Congress • Others

  16. Funding Facts • U.S. Government spends $500M/yr on construction-related R&D • Many are FIAPP-related projects • Same interests as commercial industry • Owners, contractors, suppliers, IT companies spend millions also • Technologies for major capital facilities construction, operation, & maintenance

  17. FIATECH Objectives • 30-40% reduction in cost & schedule • Reduced design changes and rework • concurrent engineering • supply chain management • Rapid detection &correction of differencesbetween design intent &construction • Highly accurate "as-built" information for O&M and renovation

  18. Early Deliverables • Interoperability protocols and software • Effective deployment of existing IT technologies • Field “as is” measurement systems • IT applications adapted from manufacturing • Virtual FIAPP test bed • Simulation tools • Economic assessment tools Focus on exploiting existing technologies.

  19. Membership in FIATECH Open to owners, operators, contractors, suppliers and others committed to achieving FIAPP and seamless integration of facilities to improve enterprise performance.

  21. FIATECH Organization Board of Directors Strategic Focus Area #1 Strategic Focus Area #2 Strategic Focus Area #3 Project A Project C Project E Project B Project D Project F FIATECH is an industry-driven organization!

  22. Strategic Focus Areas • Led by elected Boards to develop • high level goals and objectives • strategy for accomplishing them • sponsorship of projects • Hold workshops to develop projects SFAs are essential operating units of FIATECH!

  23. Interested Parties Workshops: purpose • Focus on member needs • Develop strategies for meeting them • Coalesce project teams • Develop scope and funding strategies • Identify project member responsibilities

  24. Interested Parties Workshops: operation • Generally open • Three each year • Plenary/overview sessions • Topical working sessions • Culminate in committed project teams

  25. Initial FIATECH Projects • Interoperability Protocols and Software • Field “as is” Measurement Systems • Virtual FIAPP Testbed • Facility Simulation Tools • Geo-Spatial Maintenance

  26. Interoperability Protocols and Software • Integration of software for facility design, construction, operation & maintenance • Product, project and process data exchange standards for • equipment design • plant design • plant construction • plant modification • maintenance • replacement

  27. The Owner-Operator Forum, a FIATECH SFA • Life Cycle Data Management Project • Initiated early in 1999 • “defining business drivers and requirements for software related to plant life cycle” • Awareness, requirements, sustain change • Program management: Trinity Technologies • Four workshops in 2000 An excellent first project for FIATECH! And we’re glad to have the OOF on board.
