maximum benefits of proper collection,
analysis and management of project
information to meet ever-increasing project
demands.
Since its inception, the PIMS Committee has undertaken a campaign to assist
DFI members to explore and implement
PIMS processes. The committee has been
tracking new and changing technologies,
acquiring and compiling owner PIMS
specifications, and authoring documents to
bring this information to the DFI membership. The committee also frequently
coordinates activities and information with
the U.K.-based BIM/Digitalisation Committee (DFI Europe).
This active team developed and has
presented the following PIMS resources
since 2018:
Committee leaders: Mark Petersen, P.E., G.E., Black & Veatch, secretary; Jamey Rosen,
P.Geo., Geosyntec, vice chair; Massimo Mucci, Keller, chair; Vanessa Bateman, United
States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), technical leader; Gianfranco Di Cicco, Bauer
Foundation Corp., trustee liaison
* "The DFI 'Digital-Visual-Virtual' Data
Revolution" - a Deep Foundations magazine article by Di Cicco (SeptemberOctober 2018) that outlines the reasons the DFI PIMS
Committee was started and challenges the deep foundations
industry to be part of the digital revolution. The article may be
viewed at http://dfi.dcatalog.com/v/September-October2018/?page=56.
* "Project Information Management Systems in the Deep
Foundations Industry" - a white paper that provides a general
introduction to the concepts and applications of PIMS to the
geotechnical foundations industry. The document provides
definitions, an overview of benefits to the industry to adopt
PIMS technologies, a brief review of existing technologies and
procedures, and a discussion of the future of PIMS use for deep
foundations. The white paper is free to download at
www.dfi.org/viewpub.asp?tid=WP-PIMS-2018.
* A panel presentation session titled, "DFI and Technology,"
presented by the PIMS Committee leadership at DFI's 44th
Annual Conference in Chicago in October 2019. This "Future
Forward" themed event was aimed at promoting the
development of forward-thinking plans in deep foundation
practice and related areas through technical presentations and
panel discussions. The panel session included presentations on
big data, machine learning, user perspectives, blockchain,
construction applications and PIMS for small and large
projects. This discussion was presented as a live webinar, and
the recording may be reviewed on DFI's YouTube channel at
https://youtu.be/CywR0LhHrd0.
* A session titled, "The Digital Future," also held during the 44th
Annual Conference, which included presentations and
technical papers on all aspects of collecting and managing
project data. The conference proceedings may be accessed from
the MyDFI member portal at www.dfi.org for conference
attendees, and can be purchased by non-attendees by visiting
https://dfi2.org/publications.asp?cat=5.
Current and ongoing PIMS Committee activities include:
* Working closely with USACE to assist with development of
specifications for information management at its applicable
geofoundations projects, specifically, those associated with
seepage barrier wall and grout curtain installations. The
committee leadership met with USACE representatives in
December 2019 to "deep dive" into specifications and update
them to meet the needs of the industry. The diversity of the
committee membership has been particularly helpful for
providing this guidance to USACE, as it consists of representative
project owners, contractors, consultants and service providers -
each of whom fill a specific role in applying and developing
technology addressed in the specifications. The committee is
developing generic specifications that will be shared with DFI
membership for potential use in a variety of projects.
* Looking into developing a glossary of terminology used in information management technology. This document will serve as a
companion to the white paper and will generally provide a common vocabulary for DFI members to communicate on PIMS items.
The committee welcomes new members to join and become
involved. Please visit the committee's webpage at 'Groups' at
www.dfi.org frequently for recent news.
