Clark Construction Group, LLC used Latista field management software and Motion Computing tablet PCs to facilitate the quality assurance phase of the construction of the Washington Nationals baseball stadium. Latista and Motion have published a case study detailing their part in the Nationals Park project.

Washington, DC (PRWEB) September 3, 2008 — Latista Technologies and Motion Computing announced the successful application of LATISTA Field mobile software by Clark Construction Group, LLC in the construction of the Washington Nationals Major League Baseball stadium in Washington, DC. The process and results of the collaboration are also available in a detailed case study authored by Latista and Motion.

The Nationals Park project was a $611 million joint venture between Clark Construction Group, LLC, Hunt Construction Group and The Smoot Construction Company. Twenty HOK architects and 15 engineers from Clark/Hunt/Smoot used the LATISTA Field software and Motion LE1700 tablet PCs to collect tens of thousands of punchlist items in four weeks and automatically generate defect notices for more than 100 subcontractors. The automated processes and information synchronization allowed Clark to reduce office staff, eliminate paperwork and decrease inspection times, thus reducing costs in each of these areas. Constructing a ballpark of this size would generally take 36 months, but Clark/Hunt/Smoot was able to build Nationals Park in only 23 months, earning LEED certification and several project awards in the process.

“LATISTA definitely saved us time,” said Clark Project Executive Matt Haas. “I really think this is the way to go as tablets get smaller, lighter and more durable.”

Latista Executive Vice President Chris Ramsey also acknowledged the success of the ballpark project: “We are proud of our efforts with Clark/Hunt/Smoot in managing a very large volume of punch-list issues. LATISTA Field is truly scalable to any size project and can meet any challenge presented by the construction industry for managing quality assurance, field reporting, commissioning and punch lists.”
