Subject

To create a flexible database / web based system to be used to register construction equipment and link directly to a .PDF, 3D PDF, and/or .dgn, .dwg files or possible other formats. An easily maintainable and easy to use system / database is required which will function as a repository or reference system to / for the required data.

Objective

One of the initiatives within CTS is to collect all data files of cranes, trucks, equipment etc. available within the global offices and register this in an Access (database) / Excel (database) / Web based solution with locations, descriptions etc. to be made available for use to all offices.

Hyperlink the required data within an Access / Excel database, creating quick search functions and easy to use options to filter data when required.
When no data is available, possible contacts will need to be made with vendors to see if this data can be obtained via internet and/or supplied by vendors. A large amount of this data is used within various departments in Fluor for construction and also within the 3D design products which are used within engineering.
Extend the libraries presently available by approaching vendors to supply more up to date information on equipment. Liaison required local global offices to take the required action and put in central location.

Desired end product
