unparalleled experience

The Challenge:
Aegis is working with the owner as well as the General Contractor for this project. Aegis assisted the owner in the design and preconstruction phase to ensure that the permit set drawings were ready for submission.

Our Solution:
Aegis worked with the owner, architects and GC to create detailed dashboards that displayed the various stages of the design, preconstruction and vacancy of the site to present to the public.

The Challenge:
The client had faced challenges with the review of the Construction Manager’s monthly master CPM schedule submissions, which was the combination of the major prime contractors’ resource-loaded schedule updates. The scheduling team’s task was to ensure that each prime contractors’ schedule submission vs. the combined master schedule were consistently reflective of the same planned dates. Additionally, the technical review of impacted schedule submissions did not rely on the use of forensic software and did not allow for a favorable resolution period for time extension or loss of productivity claims.

Our Solution:
The use of Aegis’ Rubix software allowed for a more streamlined review CPM schedule process. Rubix’s comparative analysis and assessment tools would allow the Project Controls team to pinpoint any technical errors and other issue to improve the quality of CPM schedule submissions. This enabled Thompson Creek Metal Company Inc to make more informed decisions for all schedule submission through the completion of the project.

VA2, located in Northern Virginia, contains one of the largest fiber carrier densities in the United States. Aegis managed the project controls for this 140,000 square foot and 14-megawatt facility. This fast track project was built in 10 months using a fulling cost and manpower loaded schedule. Weekly updates allowed the team to better manage the product and track risks on a real time basis.

The Challenge:
Work with the Project team to develop a comprehensive project controls plan for the 1,132,000 square foot medical campus for the U.S. Army located in El Paso, TX.

Our Solution:
Aegis developed the project controls system for a new hospital, including the initial project schedule, monthly updates, payment applications and change management. Through our risk management work, we have assisted with the identification of ongoing issues and created mitigation strategies.

The Challenge:
Develop a comprehensive construction with the Design-Build team plan for over 2 million square feet of high-end residential, office and retail space. The goal was to transform 19-acre site into a mixed-use community, including two residential buildings, a Class A office building, a yacht club, two parks, and a parking garage while managing the nearly two dozen individual turnovers between multiple development companies.

Our Solution:
Aegis developed a detailed CPM schedule and performed a pre-construction risk analysis using a Monte Carlo analysis to identify key pre-construction and construction risks before the project was awarded.

The Challenge:
Early in the project the site faced dewatering issues which delayed the excavation. Additionally, there have been multiple design issues including façade changes and an electrical redesign.

Our Solution:
Aegis assisted to identify that the façade design changes would result in a delay to weather sensitive critical activities. This early identification allowed for the GC to procure temporary measures to enclose the building which allowed for critical path work to proceed.

The Challenge:
Design was being issued as the project was being built. This made it difficult to keep a consistent flow of work.

Our Solution:
Work with each trade partner and subcontractor to confirm that upcoming work is portrayed correctly. The schedule was used to pull plan key activities such as close-in dates, power and air-moving for finishes.

The Challenge:
We had to widen and resurface one of the busiest highways in North America without shutting down traffic. To complicate the project, there were an array of utilities that had to be relocated before new construction could be put into place. We had to maintain an efficient work plan through the Project while working around third-party utility relocations which were relocated as much as a year later than originally planned.

Our Solution:
We tracked resources and time in the schedule ensuring an efficient use of manpower, materials, and equipment. We were able to combine the first two phases of the project and trim a year from the overall project duration. We were able to demonstrate the impact of late utilities and groundwater issues and then mitigate these impacts.

The Challenge:
The MGM National Harbor was fast track project that included a 23-story hotel with 308 rooms, 135,00 square feet of gaming space, retail space, 7 restaurants, and a 3,000-seat theater on 23 acres. The Project had a compressed construction duration and required continuous coordination with outside contractors.

Our Solution:
Aegis’ services included the development of a comprehensive project controls plan, which included project scheduling, costs, resources and risk management. The project team and Aegis overcame numerous challenges to complete this $1.2 billion project on time including numerous accelerative efforts.

The Challenge:
A detailed schedule submission was required at the onset of the project, typical any project. However, the Whiting-Turner Company was faced with challenge of procuring the window contractor in Germany while coordinating design efforts to establish the estimated fabrication and installation time.

Our Solution:
Through various planning meetings, Whiting-Turner & Aegis ensured that all information (pull-plan, design information, detailed schedules for design & fabrication) were accounted for in the CPM schedule and revalidated on a periodic basis. Resultantly, this would then allow the site team to prioritize the planned multiple curtainwall deliveries and their respective installations. Through the use of P6, the site team conducted “what-if” schedule meeting reviews to mitigate on-going or potential issues.

The Challenge:
Design changes to the MRI / CT rooms mid project resulted in a resequencing of the original workplan.

Our Solution:
Aegis assisted in developing a time impact analysis for the aforementioned delay which resulted in a compensable time extension and ultimately an on-time completion.
