Systems and methods for coordinating initiation, preparing, vetting, scheduling, constructing, and implementing a power plant implementation
A method for scheduling construction of a power plant at a telecommunications site is disclosed. The method includes assessing the telecommunication site and the power plant. The method also includes obtaining data from the location utilizing one or more data capture techniques. The method also includes generating a model of the existing infrastructure and a model of the power plant and inserting the model of the power plant therein. The method further includes developing a draft schedule. The method also includes publishing the final schedule with the model of the power plant inserted into the model of the existing infrastructure.
1. A method for scheduling construction of a power plant at a telecommunications site, the method comprising:
obtaining data utilizing one or more data capture techniques, the data including one or more of photos and videos of existing infrastructure at the telecommunications site selected to receive and interface with the power plant, wherein the one or more data capture techniques includes utilizing one or more of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), a satellite, a camera apparatus, and a telescoping apparatus for capturing the data;
generating a model of the existing infrastructure selected to receive and interface with the power plant;
generating a model of the power plant and inserting the model of the power plant into the model of the existing infrastructure;
developing a draft schedule comprising a matrix including an order of when each task for construction of the power plant is to be completed; and
publishing a final schedule with the model of the power plant inserted into the model of the existing infrastructure.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data is associated with a location, and wherein the location is in at least one of a shelter, a cabinet housing, and supporting telecommunications equipment of the telecommunications site.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the revised schedule is based on schedule order conflicts and timing conflicts identified using the model.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the model of the power plant is generated based on construction documents of the power plant.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
vetting and testing the draft schedule for flow continuity and for viability of meeting deadlines outlined therein based on the model; and
generating a revised schedule from the draft schedule based on the vetting and testing of the draft schedule.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein generating a revised schedule from the draft schedule based on vetting and testing of the draft schedule includes ensuring the revised schedule meets customer requirements.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein one of the draft schedule and the revised schedule is provided to sub-contractors for further feedback and or testing.
8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the steps of vetting and testing the draft schedule for flow continuity and for viability of meeting deadlines outlined therein and generating the revised schedule from the draft schedule based on vetting and testing of the draft schedule are performed iteratively including receiving feedback from sub-contractors, ensuring the revised schedule meets customer requirements, revising the model, and testing the revised schedule against the revised model until a final schedule is determined.
9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer readable code stored thereon for programming a computer for a power plant via steps comprising:
obtaining data utilizing one or more data capture techniques and utilizing the data for generating a model based thereon, the data including one or more of photos and videos of existing infrastructure at a telecommunications site selected to receive and interface with the power plant, wherein the one or more data capture techniques includes utilizing one or more of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), a satellite, a camera apparatus, and a telescoping apparatus for capturing the data;
generating a model of the existing infrastructure selected to receive and interface with the power plant;
generating a model of the power plant and inserting the model of the power plant into the model of the existing infrastructure;
developing a draft schedule comprising a matrix including an order of when each task for construction of the power plant is to be completed; and
publishing a final schedule with the model of the power plant inserted into the model of the existing infrastructure.
10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the data is associated with a location, and wherein the location is in at least one of a shelter, a cabinet housing, and supporting telecommunications equipment of the telecommunications site.
11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the revised schedule is based on schedule order conflicts and timing conflicts identified using the model.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the model of the power plant is generated based on construction documents of the power plant.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the steps further comprise:
vetting and testing the draft schedule for flow continuity and for viability of meeting deadlines outlined therein based on the model; and
generating a revised schedule from the draft schedule based on the vetting and testing of the draft schedule.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein generating a revised schedule from the draft schedule based on vetting and testing of the draft schedule includes ensuring the revised schedule meets customer requirements.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein one of the draft schedule and the revised schedule is provided to sub-contractors for further feedback and or testing.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , the steps of vetting and testing the draft schedule for flow continuity and for viability of meeting deadlines outlined therein and generating the revised schedule from the draft schedule based on vetting and testing of the draft schedule are performed iteratively including receiving feedback from sub-contractors, ensuring the revised schedule meets customer requirements, revising the model, and testing the revised schedule against the revised model until a final schedule is determined.
17. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the model of the power plant and inserting the model of the power plant into the model of the existing infrastructure includes generating and inserting digital 3D models of non-existing equipment into the model of the existing infrastructure, wherein the model of the existing infrastructure is a digital 3D model.
