Visualizing buildings and data through reality capture

Leading an effort in constructibility review for all civil commodities on standard plant design for nuclear project. Modeled Concrete, rebar and structural steel, including all embed plates,, embedded pipes, embedded penetrations and openings from current design drawings. Reviewed all other commodities to confirm the design will work and won’t cause significant delays in construction with commodities clashing. Facilitated clash detection meetings with client, construction, engineering, project management and construction integration group. Resolved clashes and came up with a plan of action to resolve the clash before construction proceeds. Created design documentation change paper to correct problem and update design drawings accordingly for future work

Manage a group that are tasked with doing constructability review for all civil commodities (concrete, rebar, structural steel, embed plates, embedded pipes, penetrations) from design drawings. Ran clash detection between what the group has modeled and all other commodities contained within the space. Facilitated clash detection meetings with construction, field engineering, project management and construction integration group. Create design documentation change paper to correct problems and update design drawings.The lead role involves reviewing and maintaining the project schedule, assigning tasks with start and end dates, and reviewing completed models and clash detection reports for accuracy. Trouble shooting issues, both on the modeling as well as with the design drawings. Initiated and scheduled all clash detection meetings and followed up on the proposed resolutions that are agreed upon in that meeting. Created a training program fo rnew hires. Approved time sheets as well as time off requests. This role also assumed special projects that weren't directly related to our scope of work, but that assisted both the design team and construction.
