ATTAINING Return on Innovation

Company Name Pacific Gas and Electric Company
WINNER
Project Name Bentley Substation Implementation

Location San Francisco, California, United States
VIEW PRESENTATION

Location
Pacific Gas and Electrics Substation Engineering Services department is responsible for over 1,000 substations throughout its service territory, which spans two-thirds of California. Using traditional CADD methods required not only limited resources devoting significant hours to substation design, but it also had the potential to generate errors that ultimately led to costly rework in the field.
Using Bentley Substation allowed the team to utilize 3D symbols with an integrated database to link and track all components of the project design. The company expects to gain over 40 percent efficiency on its physical arrangement designs by using 3D symbols and automatic project documentation. It also foresees a gain of over 40 percent efficiency on schematics by using intelligent and integrated designs.
Projected annual savings based on 120 internal projects is USD 1.9 million on physical arrangements and USD 2.8 million on schematics. By gaining accuracy and efficiency on engineering drawings, the expected construction savings could average 40 man-hours per project, or USD 1 million annually. Total projected annual savings is projected to be USD 5.7 million. Taking the learning curve into consideration, this project could have a return on investment in less than two years.

Company Name Ecofys Netherlands B.V.
WINNER
Project Name Wind Turbine Test Site

Location Lelystad, Netherlands
VIEW PRESENTATION

Location
The reasons for wind energys rise to prominence may be well known, but perhaps less well known is that wind energy now accounts for over one-third of all capital expenditure in power generation, second only to thermal (coal and gas-fired) plants. At this USD 30 million test site in the Netherlands, Ecofys was able to reduce costs and improve safety and efficiency of wind turbines through better management of project and asset information throughout the lifecycle.
The high-level project goal was to increase the scale and minimize the complexity of the wind turbines, reduce project and construction costs, and make operations and maintenance more efficient. Through the use of AssetWise configuration management technology from the nuclear industry reapplied to the wind energy industry for an offshore wind farm with 30x3 megawatt turbines, Ecofys estimates it will achieve cost savings of USD 4.3 million over a 20-year lifetime.
Ecofys first identified information sources and relationships from which it was possible to build an intelligent asset register and comprehensive data model, and then focused on replicating and streamlining workflows around administrative tasks such as permit-to-work requests and other health, safety, and environment issues. These procedures were modeled in AssetWise to provide efficient and tight control of the information.

Pavilion Architecture KREOD
London, United Kingdom
Designed in the shape of a seed, the KREOD pavilion is a multifunctional exhibition space inspired by nature to celebrate new life. Set on castors so no trench or foundation is required, it demonstrates a sustainable approach through the use of recyclable and eco-friendly timber. The pavilion, which can be securely located indoors or outdoors, demonstrates a practical approach to transportation, storage, disassembly, and reassembly. The pavilion was created using generative design, scripting, rapid manufacturing techniques, and digital fabrication. The traditional meaning of architect in the mid-16th century was master builder, in which architects were the masters of spatial effect. Through the use of advanced technology like GenerativeComponents, Pavilion Architecture has regained the medieval role by becoming the master builder once again.
Our innovative application of experience and knowledge sharing enables us to create aesthetically, functionally, economically, and environmentally friendly designs. Architecture is our passion.

Company Name Mississippi Department of Transportation Geotechnical Department Project Name gINT Implementation at Mississippi Department of Transportation
Location Mississippi, United States Jackson,
WINNER
FINALIST
Location
A disjointed workflow for processing geotechnical field data in the geotechnical and materials departments had resulted in information being archived as Excel or PDF files with no search capabilities. Manual transfer of data between departmental reporting tools also introduced errors. The Mississippi Department of Transportation implemented gINT to streamline the collection, processing, and storage of geotechnical data for use in boring log reports and GIS applications.
The first phase of the project involved creating a geotechnical database structure, report templates, and gINT subroutine to import existing spreadsheets. Phase two expanded the database structure to accommodate triaxial test data and reports, and to import external lab data. The final phase will import legacy data. gINT reduced boring log production time from one hour to 15 minutes and reduced project time by 50 percent.

COWI India Private Limited 3D Property Mapping Using SOSI Standards
Oslo, Norway
Abstract 3D mapping of urban and semi-urban areas at scales larger than 1:1000 is complicated by the coexistence of manmade and natural features of various sizes and magnitudes. This project developed a 3D digital database for managing land in urban areas within Oslo, Norway. In addition, the 3D geospatial vector data was converted to the countrys standard GIS format, Systematic Organization of Spatial Information (SOSI). COWI India customized MicroStation to extract, integrate, and convert the data to SOSI format. The digital environment maintained planimetric accuracy of 0.15-0.55 meters for higher level and 10 to 50 meters for lower level data. Terrain information was three times more accurate than the allowed tolerance for height per SOSI requirements. MicroStations flexibility allowed geodatabases to be migrated and integrated with external GIS environments.
