The integrated management of industrial systems in future environments like Industry 4.0 requires the effective management of information throughout the engineering life cycle. As systems pass through phases of design, construction, operation, maintenance, renewal or replacement, they will be administered via different information ecosystems, requiring changing perspectives on their descriptive information. A central role in the interplay of software and hardware artefacts, functions, documentation and managing software is played by the descriptions of concepts (i.e. formalised definitions of concepts within the domain of quantification). In this paper we propose a unified formalisation of descriptions that permits consistent analysis of the relationships between the designs, types, products, and concrete artefacts that can be found in the industrial engineering life-cycle. The approach is consistent with our earlier framework that describes artefacts, requirements and functional roles in the context of the DOLCE foundational ontology.

the article deals with the main causes of accidents of buildings and structures that occurred due to errors made at different stages of their life cycle (design, construction, operation). A brief analysis of the accidents that occurred from 2010 to 2017 in the Russian Federation is presented. The study of the causes of accidents makes it possible to understand better the laws of structures, buildings and structures, to identify errors that lead to emergencies. Such errors include: low quality of construction and installation works, deviation from the project in the construction of buildings and structures, the use of materials of inadequate quality, overload of load-bearing structures during operation. Also, the causes of accidents include defective engineering-geological and hydrogeological studies of the grounds. Analysis of accidents showed that the last few years there is no tendency to reduce the number of accidents of buildings and structures, which indicates an insufficient number of measures to prevent them. In the article the authors consider the examples of accidents in construction, which occurred due to the main reasons, and ways to prevent accidents in the future.

Reduction of human error can have a significant impact on the potential for spills and leaks and translate into better safety performance and financial gains for an organization. As important as the technical components of a design, construction, operation, and maintenance program is the human component of the activities being performed. In the Pipeline Industry, human factors can create the potential for a human error at many points along the life cycle of a pipeline. Using a life cycle approach to manage human factors can provide an organization the capability to integrate human factors into programs, standards, procedures and processes using a disciplined approach. This paper reviews the life cycle of a pipeline and identifies areas where the potential for human error can have catastrophic results. Guidance is provided on the development of a human factors life cycle for the organization and illustrates available industry resources as well as opportunities for further research and development.

Current American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) nuclear codes and standards rely primarily on deterministic and mechanistic approaches to design. The design code is a separate volume from the code for inservice inspections and both are separate from the standards for operations and maintenance. The ASME code for inservice inspections and code for nuclear plant operations and maintenance have adopted risk-informed methodologies for inservice inspection, preventive maintenance, and repair and replacement decisions. The American Institute of Steel Construction and the American Concrete Institute have incorporated risk-informed probabilistic methodologies into their design codes. It is proposed that the ASME nuclear code should undergo a planned evolution that integrates the various nuclear codes and standards and adopts a risk-informed approach across a facility life-cycle — encompassing design, construction, operation, maintenance and closure.

Design Construction

Green building, also known as green construction or sustainable building, refers to a structure and using process that is environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a buildings life-cycle from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation and demolition. This requires close cooperation of design team, architects, engineers, and client at all project stages. The green building practice expands and complements the classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability and comfort.

Based on the project management with life-cycle management technology, this paper establishes a integrated system of life-cycle management (LCMIS) for large stadium construction project, which integrates decision making, design, construction and operation by two levels of entire life cycle and phrases. It resolves the existed problems of this kind of project, like the limitation of financing model, the disparity between design and construction, operation problems.

Minimum structures are used primarily because of their low initial investment and fast-track schedule characteristics. These structures generally cost less and take less time to commission than more traditional structures such as four-pile (leg) platforms. A wide variety of configurations of these structures have been proposed and installed in offshore locations around the world (Craig, 1995). This paper details a reliability and risk-based approach that has been used to characterize the life-cycle risk characteristics of three minimum structures and one traditional four-pile structure. The structures were all designed according to current American Petroleum Institute guidelines (1993). Results from the life-cycle (design, construction, operation) analyses of the quality and risk characteristics of the alternative structures are summarized. The occurrences and influences of human errors throughout the life-cycle are included.

As part of its mandate, the National Energy Board (NEB) regulates the construction, operation, and abandonment of interprovincial and international pipelines. The primary legislation which directly and indirectly addresses reclamation of NEB lines are the National Energy Board Act and the associated Onshore Pipeline Regulations, 1999, and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. The NEB uses a life cycle approach to pursue appropriate reclamation of disturbed rights of way. Initially, reclamation related issues are addressed at the application stage. Subsequent to the application process, the actual implementation of reclamation measures occurs during construction of the line. Success of reclamation is monitored during the operational life of a line through inspection and auditing procedures, with additional measures being implemented as necessary.
