Mike,

it was but was less known than today. So it is not strange that 10 years ago you did not not know about its capabilities.

Spider Project was used for Caspian Pipeline Construction planning 15 years ago and was used for shutdown planning before and after.

Regards,

Vladimir

Mike,

PowerProject is not the only available option. You forgot about Spider.

The rest is right.

Best Regards,

Vladimir

Hi Craig

I was involved in a similar project when planning the switchover from one old district sub station to a new one.

I was the planner for the contractor and EDF asked me to plan the switchover in P3. (MSP would be worse)

I soon convinced them that since the time unit was to be in minutes PowerProject was the only available option.

With one of the EDF engineers at my shoulder it took me three days to get the sequences and resources balanced using at least 6 work patterns and three calendars.

So yes it can be done as long as you are with someone who knows how it is done.

Best regards
