Digital display of a Process Management with the Software DigiCon using the Project Risk Twin as an Example

Abstract

Managing mega construction projects involves extensive processes that are often unstructured. The DigiPeC research project tackles this issue by developing a software solution.

At the IPD Innovation Hub, established with DigiPeC's support, expertise in project management is consolidated. Based on this, the software DigiCon is developed to structure and streamline complex processes digitally.

DigiCon enables interactive, structured process mapping, enhancing risk management and innovative models like IPA or Allianz. The successfully implemented Project Risk Twin (PRT) has been integrated as a case study, applied in major projects such as Hamburg's U5, Munich's 2nd S-Bahn line, and the Brenner Base Tunnel. The PRT supports structured cost, risk, and schedule analysis throughout planning, construction, and operations. Its benefits include improved risk identification, proactive delay prevention, and opportunity utilisation. Digital integration enhances its usability.

This paper highlights DigiCon's ability to optimise processes, increase efficiency, and reduce project risks, leading to improved scheduling and lower uncertainty.
