Technical Assignments
The technical assignment includes the analysis of a variety of items from the Potomac Yard Land Bay E project. The items in this technical analysis are the project schedule, building systems summary, project cost evaluation, site plan of existing conditions, local conditions, client information, project delivery system and the staffing plan for the general contractor of the project.
Technical assignment 2 will examine some of the construction techniques used on the Potomac Yard Land Bay E project and summarize the PACE Roundtable Event that was held on Thursday October 15, 2009 at the Penn Stater Hotel. This technical assignment will provide analysis for the Land Bay E project through a detailed project schedule, site layout planning drawings, detailed structural systems estimate and a general conditions estimate. This technical assignment will provide a summary of the critical industry issues discussed during the PACE Conference, problem identification for energy and the building industry and a student panel discussion.
Technical Assignment 3 will identify the constructability challenges, schedule acceleration scenarios and value engineering topics that were faced during the construction of the Potomac Yard Land Bay E project. These three issues were determined from an interview with a member of the project management team. Other topics covered in this paper include problems identified from the research conducted on this project throughout the semester and from the interview. Finally a technical analysis of the topics presented will be evaluated to determine possible research topics for the thesis proposal.
