INEIGHT CASE STUDY:
HEIDELBERG MATERIALS
BUILDING FIRM FOUNDATIONS FOR FUTURE GAINS
InEight Document helped Heidelberg Materials manage the complex digital commissioning for the Mitchell project by providing a clearly structured repository of shareable documentation.
“I work with a commissioning expert who has traveled the world working on major projects for more than 20 years,” says Ransom Blevins. “He’s thrilled with the software, because he can assign teams to tasks, see what contractors are working on, and pull all the metrics he needs from the system.”
The Heidelberg Materials commissioning team brought external documents such as email into the repository, tagging them with the relevant equipment number in the Lots module for future reference.
“With InEight Document, we have full tracking capabilities, so we can step back through decisions and specifications to see why something was done in the way it was,” says Marjorie Gore. “Using the Gallery module, we can tag photos with user-defined labels so that they are also searchable and linkable to documents.”
InEight provides granular access to information based on each user’s credentials, which enabled Heidelberg Materials to restrict access to sensitive information such as bid values. It also keeps a full history of access to documents, making it easier to determine which party was at fault in a potential dispute.
“For example, if we ever had a dispute with a contractor, we could prove that we sent them the correct version of a technical drawing, and that they viewed it,” says Marjorie Gore. “That’s an extremely valuable benefit to have, given that we could be talking about million-dollar liability claims.”
Marjorie Gore concludes: “InEight Document enabled us to cope with the quantity and the complexity of documentation surrounding the Mitchell project. We could not have achieved this complex digital commissioning as efficiently as we did without the InEight solution.”
