The LIRR Expansion Project is focused on providing a third track to a 10-mile segment of the railroad. To ensure rapid delivery, MTA Construction and Development selected a DB delivery model. An Arup and Jacobs joint venture team is providing oversight of the DB. To aid the agency in establishing best practices, the PM team developed a range of customized digital tools and workflows designed to improve transparency, streamline information sharing, measure performance, and enhance coordination. Utilizing a variety of applications and technologies along with data pulled from numerous stakeholders, the tools track everything from technical compliance to construction activity.
Objectives:
1. Determine best Project Information Management System to use in order to facilitate effective reporting.
2. Define effective KPIs to ensure productive communication of project information to stakeholders.
3. Define level of effort of reporting needed for scale of a project.
4. Demonstrate to project stakeholders the benefits of digital tools and reporting, and how they will provide transparency and enhance overall coordination.
