Since its establishment in 1845, the National University of Ireland, Galway has become one of the countries leading centre’s of academic excellence. NUI Galway is situated in the west of Ireland on 260 acres, by the banks of the river Corrib. One of Ireland's leading universities, NUI Galway has over 15,000 students.
The NUIG Buildings Office receive vast amounts of Construction Handover Documentation after each capital poject whch is vital to the handover, maintenance and operation of each building. Often boxes of unmanageable project documentation were being issued sometimes months after project completion with large amount of information often missing and the correct information was not being submitted. NUIG introduced a specification for a Digital Project Safety File to be compiled, reviewed and built to the NUIG Buildings Office requirements.
IFS working with NUIG since 2004 and have implemented a structured approach to all Capital Project Handover Documentation for retrospective and new Capital Projects. The benefits for NUIG using the IFS Digital Project Manual™ technical service and solution has primarily been the progression from unmanageable paper based Safety files to a client specific structured and content driven solution for all capital projects handover documentation.
