1. Visualize Project Success!
Using TILOS for the linear planning and controlling
of projects.

2. 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

3. The graphical representation of linear projects
Road project
Building project
Rail project
Pipeline project

4. TILOS vs. traditional CPM and Gantt charts
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

26. TILOS – professional linear project management solution
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.
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 ( movearounds, 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.

27. What one of our clients is saying
"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

28. 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.”

29. 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 1,000mile / 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.
