PCF Ltd - Time Chainage Charts

click image to enlarge

Commonly used on linear construction projects such as roads, pipelines and tunnels, time chainage charts display activities against both time and distance. The principal benefit is the improved management of work in confined spaces where typically only one operation can be performed at a time.

Additional Module

Standard Feature

The diagram shows a simple example chainage chart for the construction of a path with a bridge over a river. The vertical axis displays distances to the same scale, with a horizontal time axis.

Different types of activity are represented by different colours and shading. Activities taking place at the bridge supports (ie not moving their location) can be seen as horizontal red blocks, while activities that move along the path (eg laying cement) can be seen as several sets of blocks and diagonal lines.

Note also that this is an interactive system, not merely a chart produced by postprocessing project data. Users can for example click on the tasks and move them, with embedded rules managing potential clashes of time and/or space.
