Abstract
Taiwan High Speed Rail Construction (THSRC) is a mega-project of civil engineering which affected whole Taiwan significantly. And the THSCR project has a characteristic of linear scheduling. To control the construction timetable of these major projects, we can approach it by some basic scheduling methods. But from the literature review, these basic methods are not perfect in some aspects.
Though these two requirements are indispensible and urgent: to take good control of timetable and to make the conclusion of planning can be employed through all lifetime of construction, we introduced the Time-Chainage Diagram to accomplish these requirements by comparison in this research.
The purposes of this research are trying to introduce a new scheduling outcome, develop its background theory and set up the operation steps in detail.
In this research, we combined Critical Path Method and Line of Balance to develop a scheduling model – LBCPM in recommendations of literature review. And we certificated the model by real data in planning phase of THSRC. We believe the scheduling outcome：Time-Chainage Diagram can offer a reference in the planning phase to the owners in the world through our model：LBCPM.
We believe this research can offer both construction information to the mega-project owner in the world: integral concept of critical path and perfect control of timetable. And though our research, it always a perfect master-plan could be programmed.
