The document presents an overview of challenges and solutions related to intelligent Advanced Work Packaging (AWP), focusing on the difficulties in creating and managing Individual Work Packages (IWPs) and Construction Work Packages (CWPs) in construction projects. It emphasizes the need for better information transfer, constraint management, and systemic integration to enhance efficiency and reduce delays in construction activities. The document also introduces features of a specific software tool (C3D) designed to improve AWP planning and management.

Building IWP Challenges
• Building IWP manually.
• Revisions causes re-definition of IWP’s.
• Data from many sources in different formats and levels of
granularities.
• Challenges for Workface:
• Building IWP is time consuming.
• Calculations is mainly done outside the system.
• Knowing the need to revise the IWP.
• Effort to re-build the IWP.

5. Slide #Rev.
Information Transfer Challenges
• Handoff of the CWP from engineering to construction is not well
managed.
• CWP’s have many revisions.
• No document transmittal used to manage the handoff.
• Challenges for Workface:
• As CWP scope can change without notice. Workface team is deprived from
effective look-ahead planning.
• Working with immature CWP defeat purpose of AWP.

6. Slide #Rev.
Constraints Clearance
• When the term constraint is used it usually means only drawings and
material.
• Systems provide only checkbox for construction constraints clearance.
• Challenges for Workface:
• Many open IWP’s due to construction constraints.
• Visibility on workload on various crews.
• This is more challenging when more than one contractor share the same site.

7. Slide #Rev.
What AWP systems cover?
• Current AWP systems focus only the permanent work.
• Many additional systems are deployed to cover supporting activities.
• Challenges for Workface:
• More systems means more meetings.
• A large foundation for instance, needs excavation, safety barricade,
dewatering, scaffolding, compaction. Permanent work cannot start without
them.

A Workface Utopia
• Start every construction activity with the readiness of a shutdown activity.
• Needed Information:
• IFC Drawings without holds.
• All Material available.
• Safety trained crews.
• Access secured.
• Supporting activities status.
• Budgeted crew composition and man-hours.
• Required equipment and their status.
• ITP and Forms for QC.
• Calculations are done efficiently (budget and actual)
• Clear Sequence of Work.
• Workload for each crew
• In Short add intelligence to AWP

Sample IWP at Short Range Planning
• IWP Scope
• Budgeted Man-Hours:
1098
• Allowable Duration:
9 Working Days
• Needed Man-Power:
12
2018-10-10 13
If More Than 12
Definitely
Overrun
If Less Than 12
Cannot deliver
on-time

14. Slide #Rev.
Sample IWP at Short Range Planning
• Link With Schedule:
• Parent Activity
Allocated Duration:
56 Days.
• Allocated Manhours:
18000 MHR.
• Needed Man-Power
32.

If More Than 32
No Delays
If Less Than 32
Delays will
Happen

• 3D model and
Constraints
Management:
• Coordination Meeting
results update
Constraints status.
• Paving is delayed.
• Support cannot be
installed
Even if All Material, drawings
are available work cannot start

16. Slide #Rev.
Linking to Estimate / Budget
• A welding disposition
volume compensation
contract treats an
installation of super
complex spool and that of
straight run the same.
2018-10-10 16
Relying on contractual BOQ man-hours and
not on budgeted man-hours will be mis-
leading. IWP man-hours shall be managed by
the construction

17. Slide #Rev.
Crew Specialty
• Progress shall
tangible and
objective.
• IWP will need
various specialties
crews.
• Structural Steel
Crews:
• Erection
• Alignment and
shimming
• Bolt tightening
2018-10-10 17
Disregarding this fact, even the total allocated
man-hours tally with budget, the job will have
overruns.
IWP will be complemented by work orders to
assign the proper job to the right crew
