FIATECH FIATECH Vision Vision Owners, operators, contractors, and suppliers working together to accelerate the realization of Fully Integrated and Automated Project Processes for major capital facilities
Accelerating and realizing the full promise FIAPP!
FIATECH
Fully Integrated & Automated Fully Integrated & Automated Project ProcessesProject Processes
• Seamless integration of information flow among all participants throughout entire project life cycle
• Application of latest available proven technologies:– CAD and CAE– Advanced communications– Field sensing and tracking– Modularization– Pre-construction– Field automation– Construction automation
• Breakthrough improvements in quality, schedule, cost, resulting in improved ROI
FIATECH makes FIAPP happen !
FIATECH
Roadblocks to AchievingRoadblocks to Achieving the Promise of FIAPP the Promise of FIAPP
• Highly fragmented industry– No common vision for FIAPP– No roadmap to achieve that vision– No common industry voice to
lead development– Anti-trust and intellectual property issues
• Low research and development budgets– Costs too high for any one company
• Lack of common protocols and standards
Each company is trying to do FIAPP independently!
FIATECH
FIATECH will...FIATECH will...
• Document industry needs and priorities
• Develop common industryvision for FIAPP
• Develop roadmaps to achieve FIAPP vision
• Develop projects to follow the roadmap
• Obtain leverage funding to accelerate progress
...make FIAPP a reality for the construction industry!
FIATECH
Funding Funding OpportunitiesOpportunities
• Cooperative R&D agreements
• National Science Foundation
• Advanced Technology Program
• Sloan Construction Program/UT Austin
• National Institutes of Safety & Health
• U.S. Congress
• Others
FIATECH
• U.S. Government spends $500M/yr on construction-related R&D– Many are FIAPP-related projects– Same interests as commercial industry
• Owners, contractors, suppliers, IT companies spend millions also– Technologies for major capital facilities
construction, operation, & maintenance
