Many of TILOS clients use TILOS system with Primavera or MS Project or Asta Powerproject combination.

First of all, TILOS gives you 100% your infrastructure project planning and controlling tool included Gantt Chart and Time-Distance Chart. TILOS at Project Design / Feasibility phase TILOS allows for fast and straight planning by drawing the schedule directly on the screen. On this way, amendments can be examined immediately by making 'natural' changes to the graphics. For the initial feasibility study prior to the project start or the creation of alternative scenarios for the execution stage, TILOS tool can shortcut longwinded and extensive processes. TILOS at Tender and Contracting phase TILOS allows you to document your know-how and show you are in a capable position to complete the project successfully within the desired timeframe and within allowed work area. Pitfalls and conflicting processes along the right-of-way (ROW) can be detected in the early planning phase: Forewarned is forearmed. TILOS at Execution of Construction phase TILOS lets you to create detailed plans for different target groups. Defined Distance and Time based Resource & Cost reports support the operational planning and execution of your construction site. Different state of construction, different routes, mass haulage, supply zones, storage areas, logistics as well as movement of machinery and crews, identifying crossings such as roads, rail or water etc. can be displayed accordingly. The complexity of the construction site becomes more visible and controllable. In TILOS, document capturing detailed progress of individual tasks thus receiving a current overview. This will give you a clear advantage when negotiating claims. TILOS at Disruptions, Objectives and Claim management In TILOS, you can record as many as baselines during project stages and analyse disruptions and changes of the planned schedule and display their impact whilst preparing and defending claims. You can utilize the visual display of the activities Right of Way for difficult negotiations.

1) TIME LOCATION Integration You can create and load resource onto one activity along Right of Way which can be as long as linear project (50km railway project or 250km railway project etc.) What are the main advantages of TILOS; a. You can create Project Plan and Schedule (with physical parameters) faster b. In TILOS printout, you take one A4 page to see overall project information on time and distance manner. TILOS report will be impacted by number of complexities such as major crossings (water, highway, rail), environmental restrictions, permitting and land acquisitions. It will be representing all the challenges you face in construction site. c. In TILOS, you can do easy and fast Update which will be displayed in the schedule d. After amendments, you dont need to re-planning all project or geographical data/scale. e. TILOS is suit for each person who are involved the project.

2) Quantity / Work Rate Planning. Very Early stage of planning, planners have no detail of Resources and everything is based on BOQ information. In TILOS when you register activity, you can enter quantity or get calculated quantity from the distance. Using the quantities without resource assignment, you can get real project cash flow by entering cost work rate and income work rate. If you also enter work rate and time, TILOS will calculate number of the resources you need at construction site or at office based on your resource description.

3) Resource Management TILOS has integration with weather and sessional performance, calendar performance integration, Resource Modeling for Linear project. Resources can have Working cost rate and Non-working cost rate. It also makes time and distance estimation, planning and controlling. Resource management is very advance with

histograms in TILOS based on distance and also time. Resource can be modeled considering many details.

4) Industry base Scheduling and Planning. TILOS has more specific link types, constraints; distance bar charts which are unique for the distance and distance based progress measurement.

5) Google Earth Monitoring in TILOS

Blue line displays the baseline which is in TILOS and the other different colored lines show the main crew movements.

TILOS display unique challenges on Google Earth as the crews and equipment move along the construction site to perform their work.

6) In CPM you manage only time

In TILOS (which uses Linear Scheduling Method), you have another dimension which is Distance

The activity type is a line which represents a continuous activity throughout the project. An example of such an activity is grading, striping etc. The line is a plot of the movement of the crew performing the activity throughout the project with respect to time. A line could also be modified to take the shape of a parallelogram. The parallelogram has the attributes of a line activity, but adds an additional time buffer to account for situations such as concrete curing, which delays the start of a following activity to allow the concrete to cure, although the concrete crew may have moved on to a different place on the project. The primary advantage of representing continuous activities as a line in a linear schedule is that the slope of the line will determine the production rate required to complete the work on-time. This slope represents the rate that work in a space must be completed (distance/time), and it can be used to calculate the rate at which a quantity is placed, moved, or consumed (quantity/time). This type of information is very valuable to the project manager for the implementation of project controls as the work is completed and the schedule is updated.

7) Restricted access areas (Blocked) visualization in TILOS

In TILOS, you can include block type of activity which is used in linear construction. A block represents an activity that takes place over a given space for a period of time. An example of such an activity is grading of a profile for a linear project. This type of activity requires both time and space, but the nature of the work does not allow for a continuous and smooth progression from one area to the next. As a result, the area requiring grading is blocked off from other activities on the schedule to allow the work to be completed. A block can also be used to illustrate project constraints such as weather or areas of the project that have restricted access during a certain time period. An example of restricted access would be placing a block along a section of way that the local government wants to remain open during periods when the no bird nesting times. In this case, a block is placed at that location on the schedule for the period of time associated with the government imposed restriction, in order to assist the project manager in planning the work around that constraint.

8) Project Communication in TILOS In TILOS, each activity can be assigned a unique line style, type, thickness, or color to distinguish it from the rest of the activities. The use of graphics and the visual intuitiveness provided by the separate activity types enables project managers, schedulers, owners, and construction personnel to better visualize the plan of action and more easily communicate the plan to everyone involved with the project. The project manager may choose to add a resource histogram or cumulative cost curve aligned with the time scale to help visualize the projects status during the planning and construction phase. All of the graphics can be tied together and defined through the use of a legend, in a similar manner to one that is found on any map.

9) TILOS has ability to visually communicate both the location and the progress of work.

TILOS monitors the progress of multiple continuous activities by illustrating in a graphical manner the time, location of work, and rates of production. For example; the schedule displays a red row every seven days depicting the Sundays not worked due to a six day work week selection. The user can also understand how the production variables are affecting the production rate of the welding activity. The planned dates are taken from the contractors original schedule to perform the construction of spread five. The schedule provided by the contractor provided no contingency for weather delays and simply stipulated that the schedule would be extended in proportion to the weather delays. (At the time of this project, most pipeline construction contracts were being performed on a time and materials basis.) This is an easy method for the contractor to negotiate time extensions. As predicting production rates is continually updated and expanded to include additional historical data, the ability to forecast appropriate schedules continues to grow. As a summary, TILOS can simply do followings: a. Allow the ability to use multiple crews starting in multiple locations b. The ability to model activities moving across the project in both directions c. Incorporate non-linear activities into the scheduling model on site area d. Include additional distance based activity links e. TILOS modelling can realistically determine the controlling activity path f. TILOS can accurately model the production rate characteristics of linear activities

g. As-built production rate information can be easily utilized to track the progress of linear activities on the project, providing managers with realistic information for making decisions.
