Overview
The aim of this task is to provide project management services for the construction of a concrete bridge for a motorway project. A list of activities, an elevation and section of the proposed bridge has been provided which must be used for the project plan.
A critical path analysis will be undertaken to produce a network diagram showing the earliest and late times and a total float for each activity. This will help to provide the following criteria:
Critical activities
Completion time of project A second analysis will be undertaken to determine how the project duration can be reduced in order that recommendation can be made to the contractor.
