- Abstract
- After developing information technology (IT) automation islands for capital project delivery in the last 15 years, the construction industry is taking on the next paramount step to increase project performance: IT integration. This report presents a methodical approach at identifying high priority information technology integration strings in water transmission project planning and design. The process for identifying integration strings includes the following milestones: (*) Identification of major project process and commonly used IT tools; (*) Creation of data models for project phases; (*) Development of metrics to identify high priority integration strings; (*) Specifications for closing integration gaps.
