3 Executive Summary Background I have spent the best part of my working career as a Civil Engineer inspecting, designing and assessing bridges. I have worked on both small scale and large scale projects and have used many file sharing platforms in the past such as SharePoint to share drawings and documents with Contractors, Suppliers and Clients. I had not yet used a cloud-based document sharing system for a work project so I thought it would be interesting to see how it would work for the construction of a bridge. Problem description There are many stages in construction projects such as the construction of a bridge structure from the Preliminary design stage to Planning to Final Design and Tender to Construction and Final Handover. At each of these stages, there are a number of different stakeholders involved such as the Client, the Designer and the Contractor. Each of these stakeholders requires access to different documents and files such as drawings, photographs, reports and Design Risk Assessments. To manage the documents an online storage space was required that could be used to share all the relevant documentation for each stage and to control access to each document. The solution had to be secure but had to allow for the editing of documents depending on the permissions granted to the user by an Administrator. Problem objectives To simulate the role of a system Administrator for the management of documents required for the construction of a simple precast concrete box bridge from preliminary design stage to Design and Construction, right through to Final Handover. Proposed solution The proposed solution was to use the cloud based file sharing service Google Drive to simulate the document management for the design and construction of a simple bridge structure. By simulating the document management, the potential for use of Google Drive as a viable file-sharing platform for a construction project was evaluated. Project keywords: Google Drive, Google Docs, Bridge Construction, File Sharing, Access and Security 2

4 1.0 Introduction Below is a word cloud of different elements and stakeholders related to the document management of a bridge construction project created using Tagxedo.com. Figure 1: Word Cloud for the construction of a simple bridge created using Tagxedo.com There are four main many stages in the design and construction of a bridge structure, which are as follows: 1. Preliminary Design (& Planning) 2. Detailed Design (& Tender) 3. Construction 4. Final Handover 3

5 For each of these stages there are a number of different stakeholders as shown in Table 1 below. Stage Preliminary Design Stakeholders Client Designer General Public Surveyors Detailed Design. Client Designer Local Authorities Geotechnical Engineers Construction. Contractor Subcontractors Suppliers Designer Employers Rep PSCS Final Handover. PSDP PSCS Contractor Designer. Table 1: Stakeholders 4

6 These stakeholders require access to certain documents at the different stages of the project such as Drawings, Reports, Photos and Design Risk Assessments as demonstrated in Figure 2. Figure 2: Stakeholder access to documents Not all the stakeholders require access to all the documents, just those documents that are relevant to them at the particular r stage that they are involved. Hence, the problem was to find an online storage space that could be used to share all the relevant documentation for each stage and be able to control access to each document for the different users. The aim of this project was to use a cloud-based document sharing system to simulate the document management for the design and construction of a simple bridge structure. The solution had to be secure but also had to allow for the editing of documents depending on the permissions granted to the user by an Administrator. 2.0 The proposed solution The proposed solution was to use a cloud based file sharing service, Google Drive to share the documents and to manage secure access to the documents for different stages of the Project. 5

7 Google Drive incorporating Google Docs is an example of Software as a Service (SaaS) and is part of bigger suite of Google services called Google Apps. Documents, spreadsheets, presentations can be created and imported through the web interface, or sent via . Google drive supports a variety of formats such as PDF, XLS, Word, HTML and Jpeg which as required for a construction project. 3.0 Set- up To simulate the document management a Google drive account was setup and folders created to house documents for the four main stages of the bridge construction (Preliminary & Planning, Design, Construction and Final Handover) as shown in Figure 3.1. Figure 3.1 Document setup in Google Drive 6

8 Within each of the folders relevant documents such as drawings, risk assessments and photos were uploaded for example in the Design Folder a BOQ in PDF, drawings in both PDF and DWG format, and calcualtions in XLS format were uploaded as shown below. Figure 3.2 Design Document folder Next permissions were setup for the different stakeholders (simulation stakeholder accounts were also created). This was achieved using the Sharing Settings option available in Google Drive as shown in Figure 3.2 below. With this option it was possible to administrate which stakeholders were able to view, access or edit each document. This ensured that the confidentiality of the documents was maintained and that only the designer or document manager could edit important documents. 7

9 Figure 3.2 : Setting Permissions in Google Drive 4.0 Communication As construction projects develop, particularly with Design and Build (D&B) schemes there are a number of iterations of the design such that there are many revisions to drawings. For example if the contractor arrives on site and finds that the geological conditions at the site of the bridge were not as assumed in the initial design of the bridge foundations, this would require that the design and drawings be revised. One of the most important requirements of the construction of a bridge is that the Contractor is working off the latest drawings. To ensure this it must be possible to notify the Contractor if a drawing has been updated. Within Google Drive there is an option of sending a message with shared documents by using the collaborators option as demonstrated below in Figure 4.1 and Figure This ensures that all relevant parties are aware of any changes to the drawings or documents. The superseded drawings can also then moved to a Superseded Documents folder. Figure 4.1: Collaborator option for file sharing 8

10 Figure 4.2: Update Message send to the relevant collaborators 5.0 Scripts To extend on the functionality of Google Drive, there is an option to develop scripts, which can be used as part of the document management. As part of this project I developed a simple Hello World JavaScript using the available tutorials as shown on Figure 5.1. This script creates a new Google Document called Hello World CE6014 and s a link to the newly created document. Once opened the document displays the message This document was created by my first Google Apps Script for my CE6014 project! as shown in Figure 5.1 below. Figure 5.1: Hello World Script using JavaScript 9

11 Figure 5.2: Document created as part of the Hello World Script There are also varieties of readymade scripts to assist with document management in Google Drive, which can be downloaded from the following links: Libraries of Google Apps scripts can be found at Case studies of scripts can be found at Google Drive Apps Another option to extend on the functionality of Google Drive, is to use Google Drive apps which can be found at the Chrome Web Store. 10

12 Some useful applications for the management of construction documents are described below: AutoCAD WS: With this app you can view, edit, and share AutoCAD drawings in DWG format from Google Drive or a web browser. The drawings can be stored in the cloud with Google Drive. tore drawings and project files in an easy-to-access access online workspace. DocuSign: Documents can be sent for signature direct from Google Drive. For the construction of a bridge structure this is useful for getting signatures from the designer and Contactor for documents such as Design Certificates or Check Certificates. Gannter: This is a web-based based project scheduling app that works with Google Drive allows you to open and edit MS Project files. This is useful in construction or design projects for creating and sharing project programmes e.g. a programme for the construction of a bridge structure Lucidchart: This is an HTML5-based visual collaboration tool that makes ease of drawing diagrams and charts. It is useful for team collaboration and working with clients. It allows one to easily create 11

13 flowcharts, mockups, UML and mind maps and comes which a large library of templates. A possible use for this app would be for a Bridge designer to create flow charts for the design of a bridge or to create a construction sequence for the bridge. Marqueed: This allows collaborators to discuss and markup images or drawings on the web. This is useful for RFIs or collaborations between the Designer and Contractor or the Designer and Client. 7.0 Storage Space One of the biggest problems with of document management with construction jobs is storage space for all the required drawings, photos and documents. For small scale jobs like the design and construction of a simple bridge the allocated free storage allowance of 5Gb that comes with Google Drive should be more than sufficient. However, for larger construction schemes like a road scheme with multiple bridges, 5Gb storage would be devoured quite quickly particularly if photos and videos are being shared in the cloud. Hence, more memory will be required which may be purchased for a monthly rate from Google as listed below (correct at time of writing). Storage Monthly Rate 25 GB $ GB $ GB $ GB $ TB $ TB $ TB $ TB $ TB $ Depending on the scale, budget and duration of a project the economics of renting a cloud storage space would have to be carefully considered. One of the biggest questions would be how long the data needs to be stored and who is responsible for the associated storage costs after the job has been completed. 8.0 Security 12

14 For Google Drive to be viable options for cloud storage of documents for a construction project it has to be secure. The main security issues can be categorised into: privacy sensitive data access data segregation bug exploitation recovery accountability malicious insiders management console security account control multi-tenancy tenancy issues. Google promises that with Google Drive, the data is always backed up on the web, so no matter what happens to your devices, the files stored there are safe. Solutions to various cloud security issues vary, from cryptography, standardisation of APIs and use of multiple cloud providers. The following added security is available for Google Drive: 1. Two- Step Verification: Google offers the option of two-step verification. With this, you can secure any Google Account including Google Drive. Once it is enabled both a password and a second code, which Google sends to your mobile phone via text message, is required to login. This added security ensures that for someone to hack the Google Drive account they would need both a password AND the account holders mobile phone. Tutorial on how to setup two-step verification can be found at the following links: 13

15 744&topic= &ctx=topic 2. Setup recovery on your Google Account With Google setup recovery, it is possible to setup account recovery options which h will allow you to regain control of your Google Account should you forget the password or the password has been maliciously changed. The options include adding a security question, use of a mobile phone, and setting up an alternate address. 3. File by File Sharing Options Within Google Drive it is possible to set the sharing options of each file or folder using the Sharing Settings option. With this option it is possible to administrate who is able to view, access or edit each document or folder. 4. Revoke Access to Apps As mentioned in section 6.0 above there are many apps available to compliment Google Drive. Some apps will require access to your Google Drive account. Using the Security section within a Google Account it is possible to revoke access s to the apps at the click of a button as demonstrated in Figure 8.4 below. Figure 8.4: Authorised Access to Google Accounts 14

16 5. Backup Google Drive As much as the previously mentioned security options can protect Google Drive data from external attacks, it is harder to protect the data from user errors such as accidental deletion. Although Google promises to backup all the data there is also the added option of an independent backup of Google Drive account content using independent services such as Backupify. 6. Encryption Third Party encryption services such as BoxCryptor are available and are fully compatible with Google Drive. BoxCryptor is a on-the-fly encryption service that s optimized for cloud storage services just like Google Drive. This service ensures that all files and documents within Drive can be fully encrypted so that if an account gets hacked or they won t be able to view the encrypted files without the encryption password. 9.0 Conclusions One of the main goals of this project was to evaluate a cloud-based document sharing system for use in a construction project. To achieve this Google Drive was used to simulate the document management for the construction of a simple precast concrete box bridge from preliminary design stage right through to final handover. In general, Google Drive was found to be ideal for use in a construction project. Appropriate folders were easily set up and relevant design and construction documents were uploaded to these folders. Google Drives builtin file sharing options made document administration easy. Permissions could be set for the documents so that Stakeholders access to documents could be controlled. 15

17 Drives collaboration options suited the construction job as it allowed for ease of file sharing between the Designer and the Contractor. Google script options and Application plug-ins would benefit a construction project in that they allow for interaction n between stakeholders such as document editing, mark-up of drawings using Marqueed and the ability to create project programmes using Gannter. The collaborators option within Drive meant that it was possible to ensure that all relevant parties were made aware of any changes to drawings or documents ensuring that only current drawings were used in the construction of the bridge. The 5 GB storage space was found to be adequate for a small construction project like this however it is clear that more storage space would be required for a large scale project like the construction of a new road with multiple bridges. However, Google Drive is scalable and the expense of renting extra storage space could be built into the construction costs. Drive security is excellent with built-in in security options such as two-step verification, file permissions and a daily backup of all files. Security of Google Drive can be further extended using third party software such as encryption software BoxCryptor and backup services such as Backupify. I am certain that cloud-based document sharing systems such as Google Drive will be used for construction projects now and in the future. 16
