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.
