Visualize Project Success!Using TILOS for the linear planning and controlling

of projects.

Characteristics of a linear project

� Repetition of each activity along the length of the project

� The goal is to optimize the productivity rates thus minimizing the

total time of crews on the ROW thereby reducing project duration

and overall cost

� Continuous movement of activities and crews along right-of-way

� Typical projects include: rail, tunnel, highway, pipeline, bridge and

high voltage transmission line projects

� TILOS connects the geography and constructability issues of a project with the schedule (what is built, when and where)

� Traditional CPM schedules and network diagrams fail to provide a visual connection between the project plan and the project itself

� Present your project on a single page using TILOS!

� A tool that connects schedule and site

information in a single chart. Site

constraints are integrated into the plan

from the beginning

� Is used in any project phase: FEED,

Tendering and Estimating, Execution

and Claim analysis.

� A tool that can be used by any

participant in the construction process:

Owners, Engineers and Construction

company.

TILOS – professional linear project management solution

� TIME DISTANCE is superior to GANTT CHARTS for

linear projects.

� Rapid creation of repetitive tasks in different locations

saves time and effort for detailed planning. Easy clash

detection and avoiding errors saves money during

construction phase.

� Powerful progress measurement tool to monitor

construction exactly as it was done in the field ( move-

arounds, work stoppages and out of sequence

progress).

� Flexible integration methods allow usage of TILOS

along with other software and also if the project has

already started.

"TILOS transformed our engineers' attitude

towards project scheduling from something

extra they never had time for to a tool they

"owned" and wouldn't go to a meeting without.”

James Lyon - HDR Inc. in USA

What one of our clients is saying

Cityringen project in Kopenhagen, Length: 15.2 km Finish: in 2018

TILOS was used in early design phase to schedule

TBM and the work in stations. We got the following

remark on TILOS from :

“TILOS is being used as the strategic planning tool for

the Copenhagen Cityringen Project. Early in the

project it was used to assess the impact of different

TBM sequences and number of TBM’s on both the

overall programme and the interfaces with the

individual station construction. As the project has

developed the tool has been invaluable in quickly

assessing the affects of changes, possible delays and

determining suitable mitigation measures, for both

the TBM drives and the station constructions. Not

only has TILOS been great as an analysis tool, but the

easy to understand graphical output provides a simple

tool for explaining the planning to all members of the

project team.”

Pipeline project Alberta Clipper, Canada

Enbridge Pipelines Inc. operates, in Canada and the U.S., the

world’s longest crude oil and liquids pipeline system. These

pipeline systems have operated for over 55 years and now

comprise approximately 13,500 kilometres (8,500 miles) of

pipeline, delivering more than 2 million barrels per day of crude oil

and liquids. Alberta Clipper is a crude oil pipeline that will provide

service between Hardisty, Alberta, and Superior, Wis. This 1,000-

mile / 1,607-km pipeline will have an initial capacity of 450,000

barrels per day (bpd), with ultimate capacity of up to 800,000 bpd

available.

Enbridge Pipelines Inc. used TILOS as their best in class linear

scheduling tool for managing the Alberta Clipper Mainline

Construction for this immense project in Canada. The software

was used in the field, and in the main offices to bring together

stakeholders to greatly enhance planning, and reporting making

the project a huge success.
