One critical path

... and also the podium is included in the contract. Same as the 3 towers, just do the remaining concreting works and can be done at the same time with the towers. So to sum it up, we have podium and 3 towers which can start and do the works at the same time. Is it possible to have only one critical path?

Yes, of course.
If one of the towers will be finished later that others (more time necessary for its construction) the critical path is there. Other towers have some time reserve - if they will be finished earlier the project will not be finished earlier.

Ronn,

IMO, you can create a single CP in all of those three structures. If it is really ur intention to start all structures simoultaneously and assumming that the remaining works for all of it are almost of the same magnitude, then submit one programme similar for all of three. That I believed is what the client wants. Give it to them. This programme will be on ur favor, because any event that delay not within the control of the contractor in any one structure will delay the other two.

Cheers,

Dear Roon:

Yes , it is most possible and u can find hereinafter my advice .

My advice is to follow the subsequent steps:

1. Study the BOQ and the quantum of drawings very well.
2. Specified and classified your scope of work .
3. Fix resources table to carry out the works.
4. Now when u will step in the scheduling term , u have to but all the activities in on program, organized within 3 section , each section present one tower.
5. Link the activities together , and load resources.
6. Put start mile stone and finish mile stone one for the three section .
7. Now the section will verify the critical path , which needs more duration and more resources.

Regards.

List the scope of works, assign the duration & linl all the activities. repeat the process for 03 towers.
If there is any relationship between the towers assign.
If there any constraint assign....

If 03 towers are independent of each other then the longest path is the critical path

Dear Ronn,

Just a small comment about the title of the Thread, i am not sure how you can control that.

It seems that what you are talking about is one Program of Works for the complete project. The critical path depends on the calculations made by the software, and it changes with each update.

You can have more than one critical path on the project. And I think that you will get multiple critical paths on this project as well. Since you have small duration and a lot of work, so most of the activities are critical.

With kind regards,

Samer

Hi Ronn

Since you are taking over a part completed project be aware that you are going come up against some (maybe a lot of) unexpected problems - it is inevitable.

Therefore include sufficient contingency time buffers in your programme for each of the sections - these can be manipulated so that there is one critical path following a number of chaneels from start to finish.

In Powerproject a buffer task automatically turns critical.
