| Abstract: From Concrete Products:
The $998 million, 2.2 million-sq.-ft. open air
Meadowlands Stadium in New Jersey is a massive project that will make the
new venue built to house both the New York Giants and the New York Jets
National Football League teams one of the three largest NFL stadiums.
Using a tight material-tracking system comprising radio frequency
identification (RFID) tagging and software deployed via tablet personal
computers, lead contractor Skanska USA Building set a productivity
benchmark, automatically monitoring 3,200 precast pieces for the 84,000-seat
structure. The contractor estimates the tracking solution will have
accelerated the construction schedule by 10 days and saved about $1 million.
Skanska is able to view the supply chain
and visualize the status of each piece in the BIM system with up-to-date
information from the field, including which pieces have been fabricated and
their quality assurance status; job site areas that need to be prepared for
arriving product; and, what product has been erected
