Abstract:

Delay is the most common problem in the construction industry. Project Scheduling and delay analysis became an important part of any project to complete the project among the planned time and cost. The application of the construction schedule to predict the project completion time. Delay in completion of the project can increase the price of the project. Small projects will be managed with efficiency manually, whereas massive projects aren't; therefore, massive projects will be better handled using computers. This junction multinumber of the software package is offered with the assistance of that project management. In bridge construction, different resources are needed for execution and also the risk is also added during this form of projects. So, planning and scheduling is an important task in massive projects. In our project, an attempt is created to schedule and delay analysis of varied activities concerned in flyover bridge construction in Salem district, Tamilnadu, using Primavera Software. The Flyover bridge is 8111m in length, and it's scheduled for 988 days. The construction unit's primary goal is to complete the work as specified on schedule with correct utilization of all the resources like man power, materials, cash, and machinery. To achieve the above goal is to execute the project most economically better in terms of money and time. This study's main objective is to analyse the delays in constructing flyover bridges and control the time loss and cost manipulation of the project.
