Do you know how the pyramids were built? Nobody really does, but the most likely answer is that the Egyptians used a sloping and encircling embankment of brick, sand, and earth, which was increased in height and length as the pyramid rose. Stone blocks were then hauled up the ramp using sledges, rollers, and levers. It is estimated that this took 20 years and used the labor of 100,000 men! Now, imagine doing all of that without a project manager. It wouldn’t be feasible. Someone or a group of people likely managed the build, and it would have been a lot easier with the technology that GPRS and SiteMap® have today.
In today’s fast-paced world, accessibility to critical project information is key to informed decision-making and successful project management. With SiteMap® (patent pending) powered by GPRS, we have a groundbreaking solution designed to revolutionize the accessibility and management of project data. SiteMap is transforming the landscape of project information accessibility, and gps utility mapping, one project at a time.
The Challenge of Project Information Accessibility
Project management involves juggling a multitude of data points, from blueprints and utility layouts to maintenance records and real-time updates. Accessing and managing this information efficiently can be a significant challenge, especially when dealing with subsurface utility data.
Traditional methods often involve cumbersome paperwork, scattered documents, or complex systems, hindering accessibility and decision-making. GIS utility mapping helps eliminate some of the extra clutter and risks that come along with traditional methods of project management and underground mapping.
SiteMap® understands that accessing your data is important to the successful management of your project, especially when dealing with underground utility maps and data. There have been many cases of mismanagement causing issues even outside of the utility infrastructure industry, and most of them result from a lack of project information accessibility.
Consider the building of the Airbus A380, which resulted in the company paying $6 billion in fixes due to a miscommunication with computer aided systems. Two companies designed different parts for the project, and later found that the parts didn’t fit together. This was the result of poor communication and project information accessibility and could have been avoided with the proper platform and communication.
You may also consider the case of Knight Capital, who lost $440 million in just 30 minutes, plus another 75% of stock over the next two days, all due to a glitch in their system. The technology you use, the method of communication you use, and how well your team has access to project information matters more than you’d think. SiteMap® helps keep your team connected, saving you stress and money, while helping to safeguard your project from possible failure.
