If you are working at level 5 then your tasks should be 0ne trade in One location so you will not need any weghting.
That is only required if the lowest level task combines multiple trades and locations.
You need to consider that in a linear road project the principle progress driver is the number of haul units in the cut to fill operation - that will be the primary critical activity.
The distance between cut to fill zones and the volume that can be transported can be calculated as the avergare mass haul or Metre-4.
A lot depends on the quality of the haul roads and the speed of the dumpers / scrapers have to be taken into account.
It is relatively simple once you grasp the theory.
The first thing to do is adjust the programme logic to reflect what is acually happening.
That will show where you really are with the project.
I prefer the physical % complete method but it depends on the level of detail - it is simple at level 4 but at level 3 and above you need a "weighting" system.
Another factor is that P6 is not a suitable platform for linear projects which requires Time / distance software such as Tilos or Asta PowerProject in "Task per Line Mode".

I still say P6 cant cope with it.

Thank you Mike..
Can anyone tell how to add weightages (based on mnhrs) to my P6 schedule.
Consider like at level 5 i am having activities, i know the concept but how to make it work in primavera?
Can i enter directly the budgeted manhours as weights, and how to obatin the roll up % progress?
