O processo de projeto em empreendimentos industriais - estudo de caso de projeto básico na mineração.

Abstract

The construction industry is inserted in the context of industrial projects through the erection or renovation of assets, aiming at meeting the strategic needs of companies, which allocate high values of investments in so-called capital projects. In these multidisciplinary and complex ventures, demands in relation to the quality of design engineering and demands for shorter deadlines and costs in construction plead improvements in the management practices of the design process. Difficulties and failures in design coordination mean losses in terms of time, cost, and quality, negatively impacting investment results. Thus, a relevant role should be given to the design coordination due to its potential to provide subsidies that eliminate uncertainties in the execution of the work, enabling a more streamlined and efficient construction, increasing the competitiveness of the projects. The aim of this study is, based on a bibliographic review of related concepts to design process management and based on a case study of an industrial project in the mining sector, to evaluate possible deviations in the quality of design deliveries and to point out guidelines for improving the design coordination in future similar projects.
