Implementation of an Integrated 3-D Information System for EPC Projects

The process of engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) project execution uses a great amount of diversified information. A means to integrate the various sources of data and concisely display this information is needed. An advanced object-oriented system developed by Jacobus Technology, Inc. and customized by Fluor Daniel, Inc., allows data integration between 3D-design model information and engineering, material management and construction databases. By focusing on construction as the end-user of the EPC process, this system streamlines the integration of data, and provides a user-friendly and flexible interface to the construction field staff.
