Best Practices – Campuses Five steps to standardization The Port of Long Beach signed an Enterprise License Subscription and Enterprise Training Subscription in February 2007 and kicked off the CAD/GIS project in October 2007. The project was divided into ﬁve subprojects: CAD Standards and ProjectWise Implementation, Process Re-engineering, Data Remediation, Enterprise ProjectWise serves as the centralized document management system and requires just one mapped drive. Assuming a workload of about 200 projects per year, Kolster estimated that the improved workﬂows across all functions—from ﬁnding and assembling project data to as-built validation and clean-up—will save more than 200 man-weeks per year, for a total annual cost savings of about $540,000. The two-year process of standardizing on the Bentley platform involved developing the system’s functional and technical speciﬁcations; migrating the current document management system data and as-built database; identifying new hardware and software speciﬁcations; creating a comprehensive CAD standards manual and consultant guidelines; deploying and conﬁguring Bentley Geospatial Management, ProjectWise Connector for ArcGIS, and Bentley Map; integrating applications; benchmarking results; and training users through the Enterprise Training Subscription program. The ongoing engineering and construction projects managed by the Port of Long Beach provide the port industry with state-ofthe-art seaport facilities. Sea trade and transportation is a major economic force, and the Port of Long Beach currently generates about $16 billion in annual trade-related wages statewide and supports more than 1.4 million jobs throughout the United States. GIS, and Coordinate Systems. Project goals were achieved by analyzing as-is workﬂows and proposing future workﬂows that leverage the new Bentleyconﬁgured software. One workﬂow reform that illustrated the potential time savings was the transfer of mapping data from the survey department to engineering. The survey department had been creating terrain models that would be converted from electronic format to PDF ﬁle format to printed copies for ﬁeld notebooks, and then these prints would eventually be scanned and manually recreated in electronic format. The cumbersome process involved several ﬁle conversion steps and ultimately placed duplicate ﬁles in multiple data storage areas. Finding ﬁles required searching seven mapped drives. Using integrated Bentley products, the survey department now processes GPS data in InRoads. Engineering designers use the ProjectWise Connector for ArcGIS to pull as-built data and begin working with no data conversion. As the Port of Long Beach becomes more efﬁcient in its ability to design and build infrastructure, it will contribute to the growth of the local and national economy.
