TILOS Advanced Course for Planning and Scheduling Railways, Highway, Roads and Pipelines

Introduction

TILOS (Time Location System) is planning software for managing linear construction projects, basic utilities, and infrastructure projects. It can be used in different construction industries, like Highway-, Railway-, Metro-, Fast Tram-, Pipeline- and Tunnel Construction, but also in Water Engineering or Transmission Line Building.

Traditional planning systems display their results in bar charts or network diagrams. Linear projects present unique challenges because the crews and equipment move along the construction right-of-way to perform their work. Permits, environmental constraints, construction-related issues, and risk elements are easily incorporated into the plan to give a single overall view of the project. Neither of the traditional diagrams is able to show a graphical link between the location where the work is performed (the distance axis) and the time when it is executed (the time axis).

Objectives

    TILOS is used to incorporate design details, construction challenges, risk elements, and your project schedule in a single view. It is fully integrated with the leading CPM scheduling tools. It is simply the best tool for planning and managing linear projects.

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.
