  • Abstract:
    A review of literature and practice indicates that there has been a lack of academic research and that there is a shortage of appropriate methods for construction planning and project scheduling for development of projects in northern and remote regions. This study proposes a new project planning method that features seamless integration of specific time-window constraints due to seasonal cycles and environmental regulations. In contrast with the established critical path method, with the proposed method there is no need to estimate each activity’s duration up front as schedule inputs. Instead, a project plan is devised analytically, satisfying all time-window constraints imposed by the environment and precedence relationships defined by construction method. The resulting allowable duration of each activity is further confirmed through activity-level planning. A case study was conducted to schedule the construction of a river-crossing bridge situated at a remote location in the northern region of Canada. Two construction methods (namely crane erection versus incremental launching) were contrasted in two application scenarios. A third application scenario investigated the effect of adjusting the time-window constraint for berm installation activities in implementing the incremental launching method.
