CAMBRIDGE, U.K. - Sept. 5, 2013 - PRLog -- Calgary, Alberta – 5 September 2013:AVEVA announced today that it is a Gold Sponsor at the Construction Owners Association of Alberta (COAA) Workface Planning Conference being held at the BMO Centre in Calgary, Alberta from September 17th to 18th. AVEVA will also be both presenting and exhibiting at the conference. On day one AVEVA will take part in a technology panel presenting its Construction Management Solutions and on day two AVEVA will host a one-hour workshop entitled ’Building Excitement: AVEVA’s Solutions for Advanced Work Packaging and Workface Planning’.

“Major capital projects today regularly risk being delivered late and over budget”, said William Muldoon, Executive Vice President – North America, AVEVA. “Workface Planning is becoming increasingly popular; since it became Best Practice in 2006 it has been adopted on construction projects worth billions of dollars. This is because it is proven that effective Work Pack Management can cut labor costs by up to 25%. To give just one example, the Construction Industry Institute estimates that up to 70% of a craftsman’s day is idle time, usually because he is waiting for the necessary information or materials. This represents a massive expense and loss of productivity that contributes to schedule delays and cost overruns.

“Current solutions still leave a costly void between front end project planning and detailed installation work packages, but AVEVA’s solution is completely linear, enabling rapid tie back to higher level plans. We welcome the opportunity to be at such a focused event, and to explain how we can help to optimize the construction process in order to eliminate this kind of waste.”

Visitors to the event will be able to learn more about AVEVA’s Construction Management solutions at its booth (#2) in the exhibition area. The AVEVA solutions incorporate Project Planning, Workface Planning and Materials Management in a single, modular application, linked to 3D modelling and interoperable with third-party business systems. Further information is available at www.aveva.com/constructionmanagement.

The theme for 2013’s COAA’s Workface Planning Conference is ‘Are we there yet?’ in which the conference sessions will focus on details of how Owner Operators in the construction sector can effectively implement Advanced Work Packaging and Workface Planning for their projects. The sessions will also include the findings that were gathered at the COAA 2012 Invitational Event.
