Bartlett Center Schedule
Construction on
the Bartlett Center began on the 23rd February 2005 and continued for a
period of one year and three months to be handed over to WPI on 1st June
2006. The schedule for this project is an elaborate precedence relationship
flow chart of complex construction operations intertwined, working
independently or simultaneously, produced by using Primavera (a widely used
scheduling program), one activity following another with construction
equipment and labor operating accordingly.
Engineers, accountants and
superintendents follow this <Primavera schedule (PDF)>, where a list of
activities to be completed, roughly 350 in Bartlett Center's case, can be
broken down by its
CSI division
(www.icces.org) with its respective duration. Hence, the
list of activities can be reduced to a summation of activities sorted by WBS
Code (click here - new window - for example
for WBS construction technique), with each and every item description as shown here (Each file can be
found on the left panel - FILES - Click here).
Similarly, the complex schedule can be simplified by connecting,
essentially, the same series of tasks together, to break it down phase by
phase, and distributing activities into categories by mobilization through
close-out, as listed on the main page (left pane).
From the next
slide onwards, the construction schedule timeline will be demonstrated using
the same methodology.
