Plant project is a complex project that consists of civil engineering, building, mechanical and electronic works. The schedule management is one of important factors in plant project because the construction duration of the project is very short comparing with the other construction projects. Specially, 4D CAD system needs to visualize construction schedule information in those complex projects. This study suggests methodologies for improving 4D CAD functions by considering those project characteristics. To develop a plant 4D CAD system, this study includes to develop new functions by analyzing actual schedule information from the plant construction sites.

Plant construction industry is a high value-adding industry because it is complex industry comprising engineering, procurements of equipments and construction. So, Revenue increase in overseas plant projects would boost up not only domestic construction industry but also growth of national economy. Recently, overseas plant-construction market is expanding dramatically. For instant, Middle-east countries are constantly increasing their orders for the construction of petro-chemical plants stimulated by sky-rocketing oil prices. The purpose of this research is to develop management techniques for plant projects such as work break-down structure, knowledge management system, logistics & procurement system, and risk assessment tools. We believe our research would contribute to the competion of Korean engineeing companies and contractors in overseas plant-construction market.

As amount of information in construction industry is growing, the role of information system in project management is becoming increasingly important. With the emerging IT application to the advancing construction industry, construction project management system with advanced technology has been progressed vigorously to improve construction productivity and management efficiency. Recently, a web-based Project Management Information System (PMIS) is developed to support decision-making process by efficiently managing project related information generated from various discipline. Many firms are in the process of developing the PMIS system or already have been applied the system to various projects. However, PMIS is still in its early stage of development to be applied at industrial plant construction projects that process management is significantly emphasized for the successful execution of the project. With the complexity of the industrial plant projects, the industry practitioners need to be able to visualize the construction schedule information to manage the project efficiently. This study suggests methodologies for improving PMIS specialized for industrial plant piping construction projects to estimate the baseline schedule and performance measurement more accurately by developing a framework for the piping construction projects. By using this developed system, the researchers expect that piping construction projects will be more efficiently managed on a real-time basis through measuring progress of piping at each and every state of progress milestone and provide management with opportunities to forecast the level of efforts required to execute the remaining work scope in a timely manner

The Configuration Management(CM) of Nuclear Power Plant(NPP) is an activity that maintains consistency among the design requirement, facility configuration information and physical configuration. It is a systematic approach to performing various engineering tasks such as change management by identifying, documenting the characteristics of plant Structures, Systems and Component(SSC). The first activity that should be performed the configuration baseline setting at the start of project. The configuration baseline of the NPP construction phase is the status of the SSC of the plant at a specified process and time, and the actual configuration changes depending on the condition of plant. In this paper, I have studied the current status of configuration baseline used in the software industry and general plant industry, method of establishment for the configuration baseline which was first applied to the construction of NPP.

The nuclear power plant construction project is a large-scale project that involved a daily maximum of thousands of workers. many equipment and laborers involved has been required consistently to minimize the need for safety through real-time safety management. But current nuclear power plant construction site is only managed to access of workers and equipments. The purpose of this study is the owner requirements reflects the characteristics of the nuclear power plant construction project integrated safety management system utilizing active RFID and GPS positioning technology.

As a recent global trend, the majority of mega-size plant projects are delivered through EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) contracts, where a single contract is awarded for engineering, procurement, and construction. Under this contracting mechanism, it is challenging for contractors to carry out the projects under traditional project management processes used in design-bid-build projects. A new EPC Plant, the POSCO Special Steel Plant in Changwon, was built successfully at the beginning of 2012 and it is currently in full-scale production. The project has encountered a number of major difficulties however, with some technical and managerial issues through its development process. As summarized in this paper, the authors (as project participants with the contractor) investigated it as a post construction analysis and recorded the Lessons-learned for future project management improvement.

Global construction market has grown rapidly since 2000. Even though developing countries grew into an economic, the most of oil-producing countries of continuous high oil prices due to an increase in plant construction orders is to present a lot of influence. According to the growth of global construction market, the domestic construction companies in the overseas market share have recorded 3% of the performance of the top 10 world records. However, current performance has analyzed the expansion of the market rather than competitiveness development of domestic construction companies. Therefore, to improve competitiveness in the global construction orders for the domestic construction companies in terms of long term, the government in Korea has ordered various research projects related to the plant since 2005. This paper presents not only global plant market trends and plant project in domestic but also introduction of completed research standardization recently.

Both the importance and process of estimating Nuclear-power plant construction time and cost have increased in significance as energy user costs themselves have become more significant. In estimating construction time, few parameters are more significant than work item production rates and factors significantly affecting the rates. A standardized data collection tool was used to acquire a total of 401 data points from a S Nuclear-power plant project, for selected critical works: form-work, rebar-work, and concrete-pouring. With the data, several hypothesized drivers of the man-hour production rates and crew-day production rates were also analyzed. Findings from this study will enable industry professionals to enhance accuracy of time and cost estimation for nuclear power plant construction.

Plant industry is one of important industry that possesses 70% of fund in construction contracts for oversea customers at 2004. It is called E(Engineering), P(Procurement), C(Construction) industry. Plant industry of Korea has a competitive power of the detail design and operation for the establishment construction. But among E, P, C at plant industry, technic of E part which is able to make higher profits; Planning and basic designing; are poor. They should have much more improvements. Thus to enhance a competitive power of planning and basic designing, we are going to analyze problems of utilizing a standard code for plant design and present plans for their improvements.

Plant industry is very important industry that dominate 70% of standard foreign countries construction acceptance an order woe 2004 years. Technique of plant industry is state that secure part equipment connection detailed design and construction class' competitive power. But, high added value creation among plant industry need technique elevation because available plan, basic design technology is insufficient. Therefore, high added value creation wishes to present problem of standard code and improvement direction for plant design to improve available plan, basic design technology competitive power.
