<strong>Construction</strong> Project Acceleration Part 1:<br />
The concept of cost-time tradeoffs in construction projects<br />
WEDNESDAY :: 9:30AM - 10:30AM<br />
<strong>Dallas</strong> workshops<br />
<strong>Construction</strong> Project Acceleration Part 2:<br />
A numerical example for calculating the least-duration (crash duration) and least-cost duration<br />
THURSDAY :: 9:30AM - 10:30AM<br />
Target Audience: Builders and Contractors<br />
<strong>Construction</strong> project compression is an extremely important issue for contractors and owners, yet it is one of the most<br />
misunderstood concepts leading to tremendous waste of resources and money. It can even get worse when an acceleration<br />
effort backfires and causes a delay in addition to the extra cost. The relationship between project cost and duration is intimate<br />
and interesting. Some projects have a “must” completion date while other projects have the least cost as the #1 objective.<br />
Contractors need to understand this relationship: Sort out and calculate all options, and then allow the owner to make an<br />
educated decision. This seminar explains the cost-time relationship and the process of calculating the optimum durations; cost<br />
wise and time wise.<br />

Introduction To Concrete Imaging Radar<br />
WEDNESDAY :: 9:30AM - 10:30AM<br />
Target Audience: Builders and Contractors<br />
We have provided Concrete Imaging Radar (CIR) services to clients on thousands of projects since 2000. We’ve<br />
worked for property owners and managers, structural engineers, general contractors and mechanical, electrical and<br />
plumbing contractors.<br />
CIR can be used for:<br />
• Locating embedded steel (rebar or mesh) post-tension (PT)<br />
cables and utility conduits<br />
• Detecting rebar patterns and spacing in cast-in-place slabs,<br />
beams and columns<br />
• Estimating concrete thickness and cover distance for<br />
embedded steel and PT cables<br />
• Detecting location of PT cables and voids within precast<br />
concrete members<br />
• Detecting voids underneath or within slabs<br />
• Locating live electrical lines with the Live Electric Line<br />
Detection feature<br />
• Detecting presence of grout and rebar within masonry<br />
structures<br />

<strong>Construction</strong> Materials Testing Laboratory & 3rd Party Inspection Services<br />
THURSDAY :: 9:30AM - 10:30AM<br />
Target Audience: Builders and Contractors<br />
This presentation is a general look at the on-site inspections and testing services provided by geotechnical engineering firms. We<br />
will provide insight into the scope of services rendered by your third party inspectors, including the purpose of service, the value<br />
in each service and how this information will assist the construction team.<br />
This presentation will include the construction materials that are:<br />
• Observed, such as Soil Fill Placements, Concrete<br />
Placements<br />
• Evaluated, such as Concrete Reinforcement<br />
• Logged, such as Drilled Piers & Post-Tension Steel<br />
• Tested, such as Soil Density, Ready-Mix Concrete<br />
Giles has prepared this presentation to help you better understand what we do and why we do it, so you can form a good<br />
relationship with your on-site 3rd Party Inspector.<br />
