$1-Billion Jigsaw Puzzle Has Builder Modeling Supply Chains - ENR \| McGraw-Hill Construction Publication Date: 23-APR-08 Author: Tom Sawyer Format: HTML

Description:
The virtual heart of the $1-billion project, whose lead contractor is Skanska USA Buildings Inc., Boston, is a Web-browser-accessible, color-coded, 4D building information model that tells the team at a glance the status of 3,200 precast risers being manufactured and assembled to form the bowl of the 84,000-seat stadium. The data is refreshed several times a day, about as frequently as Skanska’s supervisors at the precast yards or on the jobsite dock their pen-sensitive tablet PCs.
