VANCOUVER, BC, February 17, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Technology firm Aconex has been selected by Avanti Mining to provide its online project management system to the Kitsault Molybdenum Project being developed in British Columbia, Canada.
One of the world's top five primary Molybdenum deposits, the project involves a feasibility study in 2010, followed by detailed engineering, procurement and construction of the mine.
Aconex, a web-based system for managing project information such as documents and correspondence, will be used to link the engineering consultants and organizations involved in the development. The system will allow Avanti Mining and its project partners to access, distribute, track and archive their files in real-time, using a single, common platform.
Thomas Gunthardt, Project Manager at Avanti Mining, said: "During the feasibility study alone, a large amount of documentation will be generated that will need to be efficiently managed and shared. Being able to track the status of our files on Aconex will give us more visibility and control over the flow of information. Then, as the project progresses to construction, we will have a complete archive of feasibility, design and procurement data."
Doug Rubingh, Aconex VP Engineering & Resources, said: "Managing information in a structured way is a core element of successfully delivering a project. Aconex streamlines communication processes by ensuring that all data - including drawings, plans, reports, tenders and schedules - is centrally stored and easily retrievable. Every file is logged and tracked, so at any time, it is easy to see the status of tasks. This reduces the risk of disputes and delays by ensuring there is one version of the truth, and speeds up the flow of information between project members."
