  • Highway and roads construction
  • High-rise buildings construction
  • Railway systems engineering & construction
  • Tunnel construction 
  • Power line construction
  • Oil and Gas pipelines construction

The time-chainage diagram or chart is also known and commonly referred to as:

  • Time-distance diagram/chart,
  • Time chainage diagram/chart,
  • Distance-time graph,
  • Construction time chart etc..

How to Use the Linear Scheduling View

Viewing Linear Projects is made simple with ScheduleReader! Folow these two steps and view your linear project in a Time-location diagram.

Step 1

Open ScheduleReaderTM and import your XER / XML or XLS project schedule file, with the linear planned project.

Step 3

Navigate to the Lienar Scheduling View and view your project in a Time-location diagram / Time Chainage Chart.

Note: In order to view the project plans in a Time-Location diagram, the project file should contain three essential user-defined fields (UDF), which the project scheduler must specify upon the creation of the project plan using the linear scheduling software. The following parameters need to be assigned: Start and End point of the Activities and Activity shape.
