Streamlined, Sustainable Project Management
|
As owner's representative, PB managed the overall Warren Technical Center Program, including project and construction management; architecture and engineering; technical assistance; project administration and controls; selection of construction contractors and contracting services; management of the master safety program; installation of furniture, fixtures and equipment; project scheduling; and cost estimation and value engineering.
PB's commitment to the environment was evident in our incorporation of sustainable practices and principles. PB recycled 3.5 million kilograms (7.7 million pounds) of construction materials such as copper, steel and aluminum. Recycled concrete was used as a base material, and scrap metals, old carpeting, fluorescent tubes and acoustic ceiling tile from the existing facilities were recycled, saving valuable landfill space and disposal costs.
PB's VEC program management team used an integrated Web-based project management system to coordinate construction and renovation operations. This included PB's ProjectSolve2, a secure program that provides information management, collaboration and communication tools to project teams.
