Scheduling
The Gantt chart shows project tasks on the vertical axis and their start and finish dates on the
horizontal
axis for the bailey bridge construction.
The duration of each task is calculated from the detailed measurement estimate of the bridge
using the
Analysis of Rates for building and bridge works issued by the Ministry of Construction (SI unit) .

Calculation of Activity Duration
Activity durations are calculated based on the builder's estimates. The duration of each
activity has been determined based on the project conditions and the availability of workers. The
equation for calculating the duration is shown in following Equation
Required numbers of labour
Activity duration =
Available numbers of labour
For example, the duration for activities are calculated as follows:
For Manual extraction of a 1.65m Ø stand pipe into the soil,
23.12
Activity duration = = 2 Days
12
(Continued)
For Drilling bored piles,
516.17
Activity duration = = 8 Days
65
For Cutting H-beams for GI Pipe Handrail Post Installation,
10.4
Activity duration = = 1 Days
10
Work Scheduling
Work scheduling is illustrated with a Gantt or bar chart.
A Gantt or bar chart is a horizontal bar chart showing the start and end dates of each task with a project.
It shows the task on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis.
The bar chart was prepared in Microsoft Project and is shown in following Figures.
