Risk Management in the Pentagon Renovation Project

You know that renovations to the Pentagon were necessary because of the 9/11 tragedy, but did you know that the Pentagon Renovation Project actually began years before? The renovation work that was days from completion before 9/11 is credited with protecting many lives that day, and Bentley software has been identified as a very important part of the Pentagon Renovation. This project demonstrates how using the right engineering tools to identify and address weaknesses before an emergency minimizes the impact of the situation and improves the recovery time. This fascinating session reveals why all of the software you choose for the management of your facility is key when considering your emergency preparedness.

Fire Department Response Drawings

With rapidly changing technology and demands of critically increasing research for major universities, we're all charged with instituting and maintaining new methods to lessen the chances for loss of facilities and critical research. One method we use here at the University of Washington to meet this need is to have readily available for emergency personnel, such as the local fire department, detailed colored CAD drawings clearly showing the major systems that will either put out a fire or make it easy for fire officials to find critical systems, such as shutoff valves and electrical power shutoffs. These drawings clearly show the building floor plans with all stairwells and fire sprinkler valves. Also, they will eventually show where, how much, and what type of chemicals are used and stored in the buildings. Another important issue is to have someone available 24/7 who has keys and knows the facility personally to avoid mistakes.
Knowing these few details of a facility and having this information available can mean the difference between quick recovery or total loss. Emergency personnel will tend to make a proactive effort if they know the score. Otherwise, they may just take a defensive posture and secure the surrounding facilities.
Want to see what we did and how we did it? Come spend some time with us, and we'll be glad to show you!

Extending Space Management with GIS

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has used a CAD-based system for facilities management and planning since the late 1980s. Currently the Institute is undergoing an effort to enhance these abilities with the use of GIS. The legacy CAD system has basic GIS functionality but is severely limited when compared to today's robust applications. In addition to increased functionality, an implementation of GIS will also allow for further integration of planning, utility, and other facility-related information.
The presentation will discuss steps taken to implement the new system, including hurdles encountered and benefits gained, and will conclude with a review of new tools available after the migration. These tools range from the use of desktop applications, such as AutoCAD/ArcGIS, to web applications utilizing standards, such as XML, OGC, and SVG. Concepts discussed will include floor plan-coordinated systems (relative vs. real world), CAD to GIS conversion (Autodesk vs. ESRI), desktop GIS and web applications, and web "services" and connectors.
Technical topics will include ArcGIS 8.x, ArcIMS, AutoCAD/AutoCAD Map 4, INSITE and Oracle, and Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG).

GIS

Without data, you cannot have a GIS. But what do you do when the data needed is not always in one department or even one data set? Data sharing and distribution are possible using the Internet. You will see Autodesk Mapguide applications IMAGINiT developed with some of their customers that do just that.

Direction & Vision of the NCCC

The original vision of the NCCC is current and focused, but the implementation of this vision is constantly evolving. This session will present the near-term vision from the Executive Board for the next few years of the conference. What types of sessions are most helpful to our attendees? What feedback are we getting on the conference? What changes in the format of the conference are being considered for the future? How can we assist our attendees further in the execution of their jobs? These questions will be presented and discussed during this open presentation on Friday.

Campus Operating Situations - How to Prepare a CAD System to Meet the Needs

Facilities Management operations constantly numerous situations where the need for data, building plans, or mapping is important in developing solutions. This presentation will examine some of the operational situations that occur in a university operating environment, the types of material required to be prepared to meet such needs, and some of the means of accessing or distributing the material.

Project Tracking

Over the last 14 months, we have customized and implemented a software package that tracks project information from inception to closeout, including drawings and their revisions. We use this software within our own department, and, with the use of a website, we collaborate with the outside general contractors, architects, the clients of the buildings and other campus departments. This includes meeting minutes, the online routing of Requests for Information, and collaborative online review of some submittals, drawings, and other important documentation.

Situation Preparedness

"Using CAD Resources as an Aid in Developing Disaster Plans in a Healthcare Environment." Events of 9/11 have necessitated facilities managers update their disaster plans to deal with new contingencies. This presentation will use depictions of actual CAD resources that one Medical Center uses as they prepare for a new way of looking at their facility.

Campus Wayfinding on the Web at The Ohio State University

The Ohio State University's Physical Facilities Department has developed a web-based application for campus wayfinding that will be offered to students, faculty, staff, parents, and visitors. The system was developed using the current map information already maintained by the department and with links into Oracle data tables to assist with construction coordination. Providing information on how to get around the campus, in general, and "detouring around" current and anticipated construction will be discussed during this session, along with the process used to justify the costs of developing the system.

Successful Implementation of Autodesk Land Desktop

Session 1 - This session will address the importance of field coding standards, DWTs, Land Desktop Prototypes, and many often-ignored but extremely important functions within Land Desktop. If you are using plain AutoCAD, you are using the wrong software. Use an AutoCAD specifically designed for land - Land Desktop.
Session 2 - Create and Maintain a GIS with your CAD Data - This session will demonstrate how easy it is to create, maintain, and access a "survey grade accurate" GIS from your CAD drawings using functionality found in AutoCAD MAP, Land Desktop, and Autodesk MAP Guide. If you have not seen MAP Guide specifically, you'll want to.

Space Inventory Management System "SIMS"

The intent of the "SIMS" project is to provide (1) improved management of campus space through faster, clearer response to space requests, better information about how space is used, and (2) a common data set from which to work with the schools and colleges on space analyses, option plans, and assignments. This information will contribute to improved communication and will provide a basis for partnership in managing our space resources. To make this data readily available to our customers, it will have the capability of being viewed and updated on the web, and those rooms directly associated with instruction and research will be linked to color-coded printable floor plans. Interactive space management from an academic support and space planning perspective rather than a plant operations view. Learn how we've combined a variety of software tools into a system that allows for the input-output display & management of basic spatial and tabular building & room information using a web interface. The heart of the presentation focused around what's worked & what hasn't and will allow plenty of time for interaction and questions from the audience, some of the tools "behind the scenes," and open time for discussion:
• ESRI - ARCsde, ARCview 3.2, ARCims
• Oracle - database, webdlb, portal
• Autodesk - Map 5
• Microsoft - Access

Creating Effective "Downstream" Partnerships

CAD departments have a wealth of knowledge that they share with their peers. This knowledge resides on a multitude of different applications as each department/university has preferred CAD solutions. The obstacles become present when CAD departments need to share their information with non-CAD users, both internal and external to the university. The goal is 3-fold: (1) share your information electronically with as large an audience as you wish, (2) allow as large an audience as you wish to review and provide feedback, resulting in minimizing the number of times a drawing needs to be re-worked, and (3) take the drawing delivery process, which normally takes hours if not days, and turn it into minutes, thereby saving time and money. The challenges are how to achieve maximum efficiencies with minimal human resources, keep from getting bogged down in integration requirements, and implement something quickly and inexpensively.
