Systems and methods for coordinating initiation, preparing, vetting, scheduling, constructing, and implementing a power plant implementation
A method for constructing and implementing a power plant at a telecommunications site is disclosed. The method includes receiving data responsive to an initial site visit with the data representing field conditions of the telecommunications site. The method also includes generating a model of the existing infrastructure and generating a model of the power plant and inserting the model of the power plant into the model of the existing infrastructure. The method further includes obtaining a bill of materials for the power plant and validating the bill of materials based on the model of the power plant combined with the model of the telecommunications site and identifying type, quantity, and location of materials for acquisition. The method also includes developing a project plan for the power plant at least partially based on the model.
1. A method for constructing and implementing a power plant at a telecommunications site, the method comprising:
receiving data responsive to an initial site visit with the data representing field conditions of the telecommunications site, the data capture including utilizing one or more of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), a satellite, a camera apparatus, and a telescoping apparatus for capturing one or more of photos and videos of existing infrastructure of the telecommunications site selected to receive and interface with the power plant;
generating a digital model of the existing infrastructure selected to receive and interface with the power plant;
generating a digital model of the power plant and inserting the digital model of the power plant into the digital model of the existing infrastructure;
obtaining a bill of materials for the power plant and validating the bill of materials based on the digital model of the power plant combined with the digital model of the telecommunications site;
identifying type, quantity, and location of materials for acquisition; and
developing a project plan for the power plant at least partially based on the digital model.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data is associated with a location for the power plant within the telecommunications site, 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 identifying the type, the quantity, and the location of materials and acquiring the materials includes building a logistics plan for acquiring the materials and allocating the materials to sub-contractors.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein coordinating the utilities for the power plant with the utility providers includes validating the utility connection points and requirements against one of the model of the existing infrastructure with the model of the power plant and construction documents validated against the model of the existing infrastructure with the model of the power plant.
5. The method of claim 1 , further includes performing one or more audits of the power plant.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein each audit includes generating a digital 3D model of a current implementation of the power plant based on data that includes one or more of photos and video of the power plant.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the one or more audits includes verifying that a torque mark is present at each connection of components of the power plant based on the 3D model.
8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the one or more audits includes verifying a hardware configuration of components of the power plant based on the 3D model.
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:
receiving data responsive to an initial site visit with the data representing field conditions of the telecommunications site, the data capture including utilizing one or more of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), a satellite, a camera apparatus, and a telescoping apparatus for capturing one or more of photos and videos of existing infrastructure of the telecommunications site selected to receive and interface with the power plant;
generating a digital model of the existing infrastructure selected to receive and interface with the power plant;
generating a digital model of the power plant and inserting the model of the power plant into the model of the existing infrastructure;
obtaining a bill of materials for the power plant and validating the bill of materials based on the digital model of the power plant combined with the digital model of the telecommunications site;
identifying type, quantity, and location of materials for acquisition; and
developing a project plan for the power plant at least partially based on the digital model.
10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the data is associated with a location for the power plant within the telecommunications site, 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 , identifying the type, the quantity, and the location of materials and acquiring the materials includes building a logistics plan for acquiring the materials and allocating the materials to sub-contractors.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein coordinating the utilities for the power plant with the utility providers includes validating the utility connection points and requirements against one of the model of the existing infrastructure with the model of the power plant and construction documents validated against the model of the existing infrastructure with the model of the power plant.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , further includes performing one or more audits of the power plant.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein each audit includes generating a digital 3D model of a current implementation of the power plant based on data that includes one or more of photos and video of the power plant.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the one or more audits includes verifying that a torque mark is present at each connection of components of the power plant based on the 3D model.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the one or more audits includes verifying a hardware configuration of components of the power plant based on the 3D model.
