Quantum3D was founded in Silicon Valley and at the time of data collection it was 8 years old and employed about 100 employees who were primarily based in the firm's headquarters in San Jose or Huntsville, Alabama. Quantum3D specializes in providing custom visualization and training support services targeted at a variety of users including the military. (Ching 2008)

QU1 is an image generation service for visual and sensor simulation training. The service tends to be highly customized for each customer and delivery to end users occurs either in a customer's facility or within training or simulation equipment, such as military vehicles. QU2 is one of a newer generation of services developed by Quantum3D, which provides the ability to develop graphical user interfaces for embedded systems and simulation. Like QU1, this service tends to be highly customized for each customer.

Design was observed to take a backseat to functionality and technical concerns at Quantum3D. However, compared to QU1 an increased design emphasis was observed in the more recent project QU2. Quantum3D did not employ designers at the time of data collection.

Geotechnical and Environmental Studies

For various types of civil infrastructure projects, the physical nature of the soil must be understood in addition to it's chemical properties prior to commencement of design or construction. This is determined by means of a Geotechnical Investigation which typically involves obtaining and analyzing borehole samples of the in-situ soil. Recommendations based on the findings of the Geotechnical Investigation can include pavement design, slope stability, footing/foundation design and rehabilitation measures. Balcony and parking structure condition surveys with rehabilitation recommendations have also been provided to property management clients. Sub-surface soil investigation and recommendations

Footing Inspections

Soil Compaction and related testing

Phase 1 and 2 Environmental Assessment

Condition Surveys for Parking Garages and Balconies

The Environmental Protection Act of the Province of Ontario requires that the potential impacts of an infrastructure project on the environment are identified by means of an Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) process. The ESA study often occurs in two phases; the Phase I ESA and Phase II ESA. the Phase I study normally involves a review of available records and site visit observations. The Phase II scope definition is typically outlined as part of the Phase I recommendations and may not always be necessary. When deemed appropriate, however, the Phase II scope usually covers further testing such as soil chemistry analysis.

Building Design

The contributions of this paper are, in the first place, a suggested framework for empirical research on vertical transportation in the development of TBSs in new firms, and in the second place, managerial implications for successful development of TBSs. The research findings are that the case firms were found to apply vertical transportation to a broad range of aspects of ...
