ABSTRACT
Nowadays engineers do their individual evaluations and analysis on site, consolidating several types of data from different sources. In order to transform these inconsistent processes, the researchers of eguana and the TU Wien developed a solution for automated documentation and evaluation processes. This paper illustrates how digital data management for construction processes is established, considering the life cycle of the data. Based on the requirements of the stakeholders, the research group developed an ideal model of a digital data management system. These new hard- and software solutions build the foundation for a consistent, interface-independent data flow. Site engineers evaluated the model and tested the systems successfully on tunnel sites. In conclusion, the article shows the direct and indirect potential of digitalization on sites, not only saving time in the documentation and analysis of data, but also helping to evaluate non value-added processes in the construction.
