Steel Sequencing
• Main Hangar Steel– 15 percent of total construction cost– Erection process complex and unsafe– Steel fabricated in
Montreal, Quebec– Total erection time
around six months

Extra planning required!
Steel Sequencing
Proposed solution:
• 4D Model of Steel Sequencing– Show steel erection including cranes

Steel Sequencing
Steel Sequencing
Advantages of 4D Steel Sequencing
• Allows Smithsonian to easily understand erection process
• Subcontractors aware of where and when steel erection takes place
• Steel erectors develop milestones• Ask question about erection feasibility

Simulated Safety Plan
Craig Dubler Steven F. Udvar-Hazy CenterConstruction Management Chantilly, Virginia
Jobsite safety extremely important
• Complex size and shape of building• Dangerous activities (e.g. Steel erection)• Contractor Controlled Insurance Plan
(CCIP)• Half of workforce is Hispanic, and
understands little English
Simulated Safety Plan
Craig Dubler Steven F. Udvar-Hazy CenterConstruction Management Chantilly, Virginia
• Hispanic Workforce– Creates a communication barrier
• Increases site safety hazards• Lowers productivity• Creates conflicts between managers and
workers
– Workers killed has more than doubled in last five years
Simulated Safety Plan
Craig Dubler Steven F. Udvar-Hazy CenterConstruction Management Chantilly, Virginia
4-D Safety Plan• Safety Plan Model
– Shows where and when activities take place
• Safety Plan Legend– Shows hazards associated with each activity
• Worker and Bystanders
• Specific Job Hazard Analysis– Describes hazards in more detail

Feasibility of 4-D Safety Plan• Preconstruction Meetings• Jobsite Orientation• Weekly Safety Meetings (Toolbox
Talks)
Simulated Safety Plan
Craig Dubler Steven F. Udvar-Hazy CenterConstruction Management Chantilly, Virginia
Key factors for Implementation• Develop in early stage of project
• Be sure model is understood by all workers– Model is useless if workers are not trained
to notice hazards

Enthalpy Wheel
Mechanical System Redesign
Advantages of Enthalpy Wheel• Lower energy costs
– Save around $8,000 per year– Increased indoor air quality (IAQ)
• Low maintenance• Long life expectancy

Advantages of Porous Pavement• Elimination of large water retention
pond– Save approximately $130,000 – Space available for future expansion
• Natural rain-water filtration (pollutant removal)
• Increased skid resistance

Questions?
Enthalpy Wheel
Craig Dubler Steven F. Udvar-Hazy CenterConstruction Management Chantilly, Virginia
How it works• Transfers heat and humidity between
the exhaust and supply air • Brings the supply (incoming) air closer
in temperature and humidity to the exhaust air
• Reduces the load on the heating and cooling systems
Sizing Enthalpy Wheel
Craig Dubler Steven F. Udvar-Hazy CenterConstruction Management Chantilly, Virginia
Taken from Appendix E
Return air flow = 7314 cfm Vmin/Vmax = 0.80Supply air flow = 9200 cfm
Unit effectiveness = 0.825
Using a TE 3-9, the face velocity is 760 FPM, the pressure loss is 0.76 in. wg.
Enthalpy Wheel - Energy Savings

Annual Cost savingsCooling costs = $0.1/cfmHeating costs = $1.0/cfm
Total saved = $1.1/cfm of outdoor air
Total OA = 7314 cfm
Total Annual Savings = 7314 cfm * $1.1/cfm
= $8,045 per year
Rate of return = $33,000 / $8,045 = 4.1 Years

Porous Pavement
Craig Dubler Steven F. Udvar-Hazy CenterConstruction Management Chantilly, Virginia
Four Layers:•Wearing layer - asphalt with
greater than normal percentage of voids•Transition layer - layer between top wearing layer and the stone reservoir •Stone reservoir - thick layer of aggregate (5ft)•Geotextile – keeps soil out of
stone reservoir
Porous Pavement - Construction
Craig Dubler Steven F. Udvar-Hazy CenterConstruction Management Chantilly, Virginia
Subsurface excavated without heavy equipment compacting the bed bottom. Fine grading is done by hand Geotextile is laid. Then clean/washed uniformly graded aggregate is place in the bed as the storage media.
Porous pavement asphalt layer is then placed, the same way as regular, on top of the stone reservoir
Porous Pavement - Concerns
• Heavy equipment not allowed on porous soil– No staging in future porous pavement areas– Compacts soil and greatly lessens permeability
• Facilities maintained on a regular basis– Leaf Removal– Vacuum Sweeping
• Restricted Snow Removal– Plastic plow blades – does not damage surface– No sand or anti-skid – clogs pores
• Vehicle Restrictions– Passenger Cars and Trucks Only – Rutting may occur
