Introduction on the key concepts that are part of this course and presentation of the software used by the teacher.
Explore teamsystem CPM for cost control and Gantt planning, quantify in Navisworks with InfraWorks and Revit, and apply earned value analysis, CPI, SPI, CV, SV, and critical path concepts.
Modify foundation layout in Autodesk InfraWorks by adjusting pile count, diameter, and length; update and import changes into Revit, then add rebars with 200 mm spacing and create shared parameters.
Open the NWD model in Navisworks to perform quantity takeoff, configure WBS and item codes with the Uniformat catalogue, and export Revit properties to Navisworks via NWC.
Learn to perform quantity takeoff in Autodesk Navisworks by exporting from Revit, setting up quantification, and updating model takeoffs for foundation, abutments, piers, and reinforcement, yielding an Excel quantity workbook.
Refine the Gantt chart by translating productivity into realistic durations for piles, foundation, piers, deck, and precast beams, coordinating steel cages, cranes, concrete pours, and curing.
Learn to build and link a gantt chart for bridge construction, apply delays and precedences, and identify critical activities that affect the project end date.
Learn to create and analyze cash flow diagrams showing revenue and cost curves, compare BCWS and BCWP to assess delays, and export results to Excel for visualization.
4D Virtual simulation
You will see how material and subcontractor costs will increase during the time
Course aimed at civil engineers who want to pursue a career as Project Manager, Project Controls Engineers, Planning Engineers and Cost Controllers. In the 1st part of this course you will learn how to create a 3D model of a concrete bridge using Autodesk Infraworks, how to send it to Autodesk Revit, how to add steel rebars and how to compute quantity takeoff (QTO) through Autodesk Navisworks after the creation of some parameters. In the second part of the course you will learn how to create the BOQ of your bridge and how to manage the construction phases using Autodesk Navisworks, Teamsystem CPM and Microsoft Project, using the earned value technique and the critical path method, techniques by now well recognized and used by certified PMs. The earned value analysis (EVM) and the critical path method (CPM) are indeed two techniques used in the Project Management field and allow you to calculate the performance during the construction phases. A basic knowledge of the WBS meaning and of the civil engineering world is recommended. The course is taught in English language and its made at a slow pace such that everybody can follow the lessons. The teacher is a BIM passionate civil engineer working as Planning and Project Controls Manager with several years of working experience gained abroad within an international EPCM general contractor.
He's able to master the use of budgeting, scheduling, quantity estimating and designing software (Teamsystem CPM, Autodesk Navisworks, MS Project, Primavera P6 and Tilos) and he's passionate about the latest cutting edge technology services including 3D BIM modeling, 4D construction sequencing and 5D cost integration.
