Applications In Large-scale Construction Projects In The Pip Study

The large project is important in the construction industry. Its development determines the situation of the fixed assets investment and affect the development of national economy. It is critical for performing project successfully to communicate among project participants effectively. Because of the project spreading widely, a great deal of participants and difficulty in coordinating between organizations, it is hard to coordinate among a geographical dispersed project team. The emergence of information technology tools such as Internet provides opportunities to improve the communication process.Project Information Portal (PIP), an Internet-based project communication solution, makes project as its center and centralizes the information which project participants create in the life cycle of project. The functions of PIP are providing the single entry for project participants obtaining information by personal interface, and providing the personalized information for the management. PIP is applied in the construction industry of advanced countries such as Europe and America.PIP being a high-efficiency project management tool, the application of it is not only a technological but also an organizing and managerial issue. The application of PIP depends on project information infrastructure and corresponding management environments. This paper focuses on the application and implementation of PIP in large projects. Based on thorough study of related software products and latest research results, this paper mainly studies the followings:i .Analyzes the concept of PIP, studies the application environment of PIP, and analyzes the mode of information management and communication based on application of PIP.ii .Analyzes the main functions of PIP.iii.Discusses some key problem in application of PIP in large project, andpresents the problem which needs to solve in the application of PIP in our Construction Industry.
