FOR CONSTRUCTION OWNERS AND CONTRACTORS
Construction optioneering for infrastructure projects
Whether you are working on a construction highway project, a tunnel, subway or a railway project, use ALICE to reduce your risks and cut project duration and costs.
Your secret weapon for complex, high-value infrastructure construction projects.
Your projects will deliver value sooner thanks to ALICE.
SIMULATE CONSTRAINTS
Solve your project's most complex constraints
Through construction optioneering, simulate your most elaborate infrastructure project challenges and restrictions to ensure that all parameters are accounted for in your plan and quickly incorporate changes in your estimates. You’ll be confident that you’ve modeled for all contingencies.
OPTIMAL RESOURCE PLANNING
Optimize key project resources
Use ALICE to determine the exact amount of equipment and material you'll need, the size of your crews, and the optimal sequence for the work
EFFICIENT DECISION SUPPORT TOOL
Quantify the impact of your decisions
Model the impact of your choices. For example, what if you close two lanes of highway traffic vs. a single lane during construction? With ALICE, you'll know exactly how this decision would affect your time and costs.
ALICE is purpose-built for capital infrastructure projects
-
Cost and availability of labor, equipment and material; adverse weather conditions – these are some of the many variables that ALICE includes in its calculations as it drives to create the optimal construction schedule for a major bridge.
-
An ideal example of “linear construction," these projects not only include the laying of track, but also the construction of stations along the route. These are complex, multi-faceted projects with plenty of opportunity for optimization in the push for efficient construction--a challenge perfectly suited for ALICE.

Optimizing the use of tunnel boring machines (TBMs) to maximize efficiency is an excellent example of how ALICE can help contractors building tunnels to make the best use of available resources.

-
ALICE can help general contractors to build variables like the availability of concrete or particular labor crews into its model and balance cost vs. time vs. risk to devise an optimal construction schedule based on business goals.

"The savings of both time and money that we’ve identified with this initial work on SCS East has been significant, and we’re now looking forward to expanding our use of ALICE to other portions of the project."
SCS JV generates 3+ months float on Green Tunnel with ALICE
The SCS JV (comprising Skanska, Costain, and STRABAG) used ALICE to determine optimal production rates and increase project efficiency.
SCS JV leverages ALICE to drive £2M savings on UK's HS2 project
SCS JV used ALICE to find efficient sequencing options to enable an earlier construction start for a critical access point to the main tunnels.

Parsons leverages ALICE to win project
Parsons used ALICE to develop a competitive construction schedule in its bid to win the work on the 8.7 mi rail extension project in Edmonton, Canada.
GC boosts airport project expansion efficiency with ALICE
A large Japanese GC was working on expanding a major airport in Asia and came to ALICE looking to boost efficiency and profitability.
ALICE for linear projects
Linear projects such as roadways, tunnels, and railways present general contractors with unique construction challenges. See how ALICE helps GCs resolve these issues.
How to Minimize and Control Infrastructure Construction Costs
Infrastructure construction projects are always costly endeavors. So how do you go about controlling costs on these large, complex projects?
Managing Cost Overruns in Infrastructure Construction: a how-to
Cost overruns for major infrastructure projects do not have to be the norm. There are ways to manage cost overruns and reduce or even eliminate them.
