Technology at Kiewit
At Kiewit, we deliver some of the largest, most complex construction and engineering projects in North America. To do that, we rely on cutting-edge technology — fully integrated systems and processes that work together to improve the way we design and build projects.
Transformative Technology for the Construction and Engineering Industry
We continue to build on Kiewit’s industry-leading technology investment to build a connected array of technology that is transforming our business. Kiewit uses the industry’s most powerful tools available, including sophisticated project controls solutions offered through InEight. InEight’s apps give Kiewit teams the real-time information they need to make better and faster, fact-based decisions that keep projects on schedule and within budget.
Data & AI Innovations
Over the last decade, Kiewit has gathered and utilized over 200 million work hours of information to improve performance and client results. This includes AI tools that help accelerate the design and construction processes, reviewing multiple iterations of advanced designs, precise estimates and construction plans.
Innovation from the Inside Out
Kiewit’s AI-powered tools, KADE and ADAPT, drastically accelerate design and estimating processes, transforming weeks of work into minutes.
Unprecedented visibility
Kiewit’s technology seamlessly integrates several systems, including the InEight Suite, SAP, custom solutions and other third-party products. The interconnectedness means unprecedented visibility into data and ensures that all parties are making decisions based on a single version of the truth.
Tested and proven on construction projects large and small, the technology instills a disciplined approach to estimating and building work and managing our assets. It puts real-time information in the hands of management, enabling them to make better and faster fact-based decisions that keep projects on schedule and within budget.
Technology solutions through InEight
InEight offers a core group of technology solutions that help to visualize, estimate, manage, control and connect all aspects of the project. The platform is cloud-based and designed so that everyone on the project can access the information they need, whether they work in the office or in the field.
Powerful Technology Tools
In addition to several third-party and custom-built applications, Kiewit’s technology solutions are powered by seven InEight solution sets — all fully connected with Kiewit’s SAP enterprise resource planning system — to help better visualize, estimate, manage, control and connect all aspects of Kiewit projects.
Project Cost Management
Kiewit leverages proven technologies that incorporate standard processes and core project methodologies to accurately measure developments, effectively track and manage budget and contract changes, and forecast performance and progress.
Field Execution Management
Kiewit uses a robust set of mobile tools designed to create and communicate daily work plans and track progress. Fully integrated with our core systems, these tools ensure everyone on the job has access to the information they need to make better decisions and manage the day’s work.
Collaborative Document Management
Our document management system helps streamline the capture, review, management and distribution of project documents — optimized for managing RFIs, punch lists, submittals and transmittals, leveraging web and mobile apps to provide project-centric organizations with better visibility and collaboration.
Safety, Environmental, Quality and Commissioning
We use powerful tools to support the creation of commissioning plans and closeout requirements up front, with digital inspection workflows to monitor requirements, conformance and completion — producing timely facility turnover packages in a common data environment.
Contract Management
Manage contract workflows from start to finish. Our tools reduce time spent executing contracts and developing change orders. They provide maximum visibility into the contract and change management process across the project life cycle and provide every stakeholder with a continuous view into overall project progress.
Connected Analytics
Kiewit’s data analytics solutions help support real-time decisions based on metrics, KPIs and trends. Connected Analytics leverage cloud-derived, industry-leading metrics to provide accessible charts that show if a project is over or under performing, improving portfolio visibility while reducing surprises and project analysis time across the project life cycle.
Planning, Scheduling and Risk
Planning, scheduling and risk solutions help collaboratively create and risk-adjust plans. Our tools leverage artificial intelligence to establish daily plans for field teams, while ensuring alignment with CPM schedules. Construction risk assessments help guard against overly optimistic schedules and oversimplified risk evaluations, boosting confidence in decisions across the project life cycle.
Fleet Management
To effectively manage North America’s largest and most modern privately owned equipment fleets, we rely on cutting-edge data analytics tools. These tools allow us to predict maintenance needs well in advance, ensuring our projects stay on schedule, within budget, compliant with regulations, and equipped with the latest safety technology. In addition, our partnerships with industry leaders ensure access to the best tools available.
ISO 27001 Certified
Kiewit is among a short list of U.S. construction companies that have earned the ISO 27001:2013 certification — the world’s best-known standard for information security management systems and their requirements. This certification demonstrates Kiewit’s commitment to information security in an environment where cyberattacks are increasing in strength and volume daily.
