Abstract
This study deals with the scheduling of ROB project which is under construction. Due to increase in number of passengers from Mumbra, the Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation Ltd is constructing two new railway lines to decrease the passenger traffic. Hence for this road over bridge is being constructed at the proposed site. The ROB construction started in August 2013 and has not been completed yet due to various delays. However it was estimated that the project will be completed in 18 months. The original project was scheduled using traditional methods of construction management. This study is scheduled using the project management software “PRIMAVERA”. Primavera is an appropriate technology for managing construction projects and can improve the construction planning and design efficiency by integrating locations and thematic information in a single environment. In this study the various activities were linked together and their duration was assigned, the software scheduled the activities and thereby estimated the duration of the project accordingly. According to the scheduling done by the software the project duration comes out to be less than the original estimated duration of the project which was 18 months.
