The history of the design and construction of the Ust-Srednekanskaya HPP in the Magadan Region is briefly reviewed. The reasons for and results of design works intended to update the project ...documentation for the main facilities of the hydraulic project are described.
Lessons learned are important building blocks for continuous learning in project-based organisations. Nonetheless, the practical reality is that lessons learned are often not consistently reused for ...organisational learning. Two problems are commonly described in this context: the information overload and the lack of procedures and methods for the assessment and implementation of lessons learned. This paper addresses these problems, and appropriate solutions are combined in a systematic lesson learned process. Latent Dirichlet Allocation is presented to solve the first problem. Regarding the second problem, established risk management methods are adapted. The entire lessons learned process will be demonstrated in a practical case study
This article discusses the project domain framework (PDF) which was developed as a project management tool to facilitate the documentation of a concept at the initiation phase of a project into a ...business case. Most importantly, the PDF incorporates measurable results into the business case to facilitate effective monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of project results. The PDF development was prompted by the authors’ experiences which often indicated that project champions have challenges in systematically and logically linking project statements to produce a well-articulated business case. Action research strategy was used as the research approach. It involved a synthesis of lessons learnt from client project assignments spanning a period of ten years in Botswana and South Africa. PDF consists of three sub-tools, the project domain map (PDmap), project domain matrix (PDmat) and the project narrative guide (PDnarr). The PDmap systematically guides the design of a project concept and logically links the project components. These are then translated into brief statements which are entered in the PDmat. From the PDmat entries and guided by the PDnarr, a project’s business case is written. The article uses a real-life example as a case study to discuss the application of the PDF.
Purpose
This paper aims to develop a system, which would enable efficient management and exploitation of documentation in electronic form, related to mining projects, with information retrieval and ...information extraction (IE) features, using various language resources and natural language processing.
Design/methodology/approach
The system is designed to integrate textual, lexical, semantic and terminological resources, enabling advanced document search and extraction of information. These resources are integrated with a set of Web services and applications, for different user profiles and use-cases.
Findings
The use of the system is illustrated by examples demonstrating keyword search supported by Web query expansion services, search based on regular expressions, corpus search based on local grammars, followed by extraction of information based on this search and finally, search with lexical masks using domain and semantic markers.
Originality/value
The presented system is the first software solution for implementation of human language technology in management of documentation from the mining engineering domain, but it is also applicable to other engineering and non-engineering domains. The system is independent of the type of alphabet (Cyrillic and Latin), which makes it applicable to other languages of the Balkan region related to Serbian, and its support for morphological dictionaries can be applied in most morphologically complex languages, such as Slavic languages. Significant search improvements and the efficiency of IE are based on semantic networks and terminology dictionaries, with the support of local grammars.
A conservation process usually generates new knowledge and an enormous amount of documentation during the inception and implementation of the project: the information collected from archives and ...other institutions; the information provided by the preliminary studies carried out prior to the intervention; the data provided in the field during the works and at the end of the process; and the final set of documentation delivered to the institution responsible for the maintenance and management of the monument. The challenge for conservation professionals and cultural heritage managers throughout this process once the works are over is to achieve and transmit this information to the public and specialists in order to raise awareness for better conservation of our built heritage. During the last few years, one of the actions that the Caja Madrid Foundation has activated with its restoration projects has been the opening of permanent on site museums or “Salas de Fábrica”, a place on site to understand the restoration works, to exhibit the remains that have being retrieved during the project and to permit the public to better understand the historical and artistic values of architectural and archaeological heritage as well as the importance of preserving our cultural legacy for the future.
The aim of this paper is to determine and compare the risk handling methods resulting from alterations to Project Documentation. The presented compilations constitute a practical model of selecting ...the strategy of risk handling and facilitating the choice of the most suitable strategy in a particular project. The analysis was conducted on the basis of two projects within a range of environmental engineering – construction of sewage systems and a sewage treatment plant. The methodology of research was based on expert technique. From the point of finding usefulness, the most valuable information was gained from documentation reviews. The Records of Necessity were the fundamental, analysed documents which allow to determine the real view of alterations Project Documentation.
This paper presents an engineering survey based on experience of the authors during design and expertise of complex building structures in period of 2000-2014. Legal, organizational and technical ...aspects in a procedure of changes in structural design documentation are investigated. Separate actions for implementing changes according to legislative documents in Lithuania in technical and working structural projects are presented by a general algorithm. Actual questions about sequence in proceeding with local and global analytical calculations during designing of complex structures and peculiarities of processing revised structural drawings and text documents are described in this paper. Relevance of the subject is illustrated by an example of a successful decision in solving common construction and design problems of an office building in Vilnius. Finally, conclusions and recommendations are given. This paper is an investigation of the considered problem and is designated for science researchers in civil engineering, educational and public organizations working with refinement of the design procedures and project documentation handling, and for practicing engineers.
Data mining is utilized for intelligent decision support provision in project management to resolve the wide range of problems. But, nevertheless, intelligent support for the project documentation ...control procedure is given too little attention in ongoing research, despite the fact that the procedure is significant. The quality of the project documentation directly influences on the project outcome. Also, it takes a long time and much effort for project office staff to control the project documentation. To meet this challenge, an approach to decision making support for project office staff for the documentation control in project management on the basis of association rule mining and a corresponding intelligent system are suggested in the paper. The approach was tested in controlling the project documentation at the training course on project workshop at university.
An algorithm for designing oil recycling processes is presented, characterized in that it is applicable to various types of oil recycling processes, taking into account modern technologies, which ...makes it possible to increase design efficiency by implementing the main stages of design - selection and layout of technological equipment and piping, forming a digital information model and design documentation in a single computer environment. The criteria for assessing the quality of the digital information model and the project documentation formed on its basis are given.
