Next Meeting
Charleston SAME Post monthly meeting will be held at the North Towne Grille
on Thursday, March 18, 2010.
On February 18, Mr. Michael Dorman, Principal of Multivista
Carolinas, demonstrated
the value of online construction documentation. His firm
establishes a comprehensive plan of sequenced photographic
records at multiple positions and angles repeated constantly
as the construction project progresses. These records
are available to stakeholders, including the design team, to
monitor conformance to plans and specifications more regularly
than site visits would allow. One example showed how
photos of plumbing showed construction deficiencies which
might have been concealed by drywall by the time the designers
visited the site and could have resulted in serious problems
for the owners years after the construction warranty expired.
It was an exciting eye-opening experience.
Our next meeting, on March 18, 2010, will feature Kevin Turner, P.E. and
Shannon Graeber, P.E., Collins Engineers,
Inc., speaking on the "Seismic Screening of 28 Structures at
Ft. Vancouver"
Board members are asked to attend a Board Meeting at 10 am, prior to the
monthly meeting.
We look forward to seeing you at our next meeting.
