PRIMAVERA P6 Basics

Primavera P6 is a globally recognised one the most effective tool to plan, manage and execute civil engineering projects. But getting training of Primavera doesn’t come for free, most of the time. That’s why we develop our courses for a very nominal fee, yes you heard it right. It's only $5.00 if you are our subscribed member and you will not only get access to Primavera Course but also to all our courses that shows a $0 fee. Primavera P6 can sometimes be a complex tool to understand if your basics of using the tool are not clear. That’s why we develop our Primavera Basic Course for you to clearly explain step by step process to develop a project program. We use real-world civil engineering project examples and develop the program so you can easily grasp it and correlate it with your real-world projects. And you can view them as many times as you want. In the first module, students will learn about the following topics -Launching Primavera P6, start-up window, drop-down menus, toolbars, sidebars, option settings, etc. Please click to see the Preview of the Course. The second module provides details of Enterprise Project Systems (EPS). Primavera is a cloud-based Project Planning tool and it saves the projects program of the enterprise in EPS. So, it's very important for students to know how to operate EPS and how to create a new EPS category for a new project. The third module provides details of setting up a new project within a new EPS category within Enterprise Project Systems (EPS). The module also covers the process of developing a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) of a new project. This is the most important step of a project before assigning any activity. The fourth module provides a detailed process of creating activities of a project. We have developed a civil engineering project program, so the activities are developed for a civil engineering project. The fifth module provides a detailed process of setting up the calendar of the project. Primavera provides global and project-specific calendar options. It would be very useful to know when to use what type of calendar. The module also explains how to assign a calendar to a project. The sixth module explains the process of setting the layout page of the project program. It explains how to set the columns for activities, the Gant chart and the activity area. you can also customise the layout for a specific project or for a specific user. The seventh module covers the process of linking activities in three possible ways. It also provides details of predecessor and successor linking. The module also explains the linking process in a specific constraint situation and shows how that impacts the overall project duration. In the end, a high-level project program is created to demonstrate the whole process of project planning using Primavera P6.

Tunnel Engineering

Road tunnels are alternative ways, to cross a physical obstruction such as a mountain, or river, etc. Tunnels are considered as a viable solution, to minimize environmental impact, noise pollution, air pollution compare to the elevated viaduct. It is also intact the historical spirit of the location, such as archaeological value, conservation of endangered species and natural habitat. Our Tunnel Engineering course modules are designed to cover all key aspects of Tunnel Engineering. It covers the definition of a tunnel, its shape, criteria of tunnel consideration, type of tunnels, tunnel lining, tunnel construction engineering, rock tunnelling, soft-ground tunnelling, etc. The first module starts with shapes and elements of tunnels, criteria of tunnel consideration such as ground condition, environmental impact, land use restriction, constructability, sustainable development, etc. The module then shares the types of tunnels based on the method of construction such as cut and cover tunnels, bored tunnels, soft ground tunnels, immersed tunnels, jacked box tunnels. The second module covers the horizontal and vertical design of tunnel alignment, cross-section element, geotechnical Investigation and details of cut and covers tunnel. The third module covers rock tunnelling and soft-ground tunnelling. The module explains how rock behaves, fails and rock failure mechanism. The module then explains rock tunnelling methods like drill and blast method, tunnel boring machine (TBM), and road headers method. The module also covers soft ground tunnelling methods like shield tunnelling, slurry tunnelling, sequential Excavation Method (SEM), The fourth module covers tunnel lining and tunnel construction engineering. Tunnel linings are installed for reasons like providing ground support, maintain the tunnel opening, limit the inflow of groundwater, provide a base, for the finished exposed surface of the tunnel, etc. The module covers the key points of tunnel design consideration like lining stiffness, and deformation, durability, high-density concrete, corrosion protection, lining joints, etc. The module also covers the reasons for lining stiffness, deformation and mitigation measures. Lastly, the module covers key aspects of tunnel construction engineering such as Constructability, Construction Sequencing, Mucking and Disposal and Health & Safety.

Dutch Style Roundabout design

Dutch Style Roundabouts are one of the most innovative roundabouts that provide priority to pedestrians and cyclists without significantly compromising vehicular traffic movement. Our Dutch Style Roundabout course modules are designed to cover all key aspects of the design process. It covers the centreline design of all four arms, crown line of Roundabout, and then gradually develops road channels, cycle tracks, footway, crossing facilities, etc. The first module starts with verification of the Topographical Survey. Here, the module explains how to verify the topo survey and make it fit to use as Xref for roundabout design. The module also explains how to change the colors of individual layers to make Xref less prominent. The second module explains the design process of Roundabout crown line, road centrelines, channel line design, entry radius design, exit radius design, splitter island design. The proposed layout set the foundation of the roundabout footprint so that footway and cycle facilities are provided safely. The third module explains the design process of cycle facility design. A circulatory uni-directional cycle track is designed. Inbound and outbound cycle tracks are designed and connected to the circulatory. The fourth module explains the process of footway design and crossing facilities. The back edge of the footways plays an important role in tie-into the existing. Segregated pedestrian and cycle crossing facilities are proposed. It is highly recommended to provide a pedestrian crossing facility suitable for blind and partially sighted pedestrians, therefore tactile are proposed at all crossing points. The fifth module explains the process of creating a General Arrangement Drawing. The module details out how to call all required Xrefs and how to use sheet layout, title frame, etc to develop General Arrangement Drawings. Finally, the module explains how to create a PDF of the General Arrangement drawing.

Primavera P6 Advance

This is an advanced course explaining the comprehensive process of project planning using Primavera P6 as a tool. A hands-on civil engineering project program is developed showing step by step process so that students learn how to plan, analyze, and manage the project using Primavera P6. The first module provides a detailed process of moving a project forward and backward. It’s not unusual to see that the project commencement date moves forward and it’s very vital to know how to move the project program accordingly. The course also delivers a detailed process of setting a baseline of the program. This will assist Managers to monitor the project program as the project progresses. The second module discusses, project resources for each activity. This will help to determine overall project cost as well as the breakup of the cost of each task. This process helps project managers to optimize overall project costs for any bidding or tender activity. The third module discusses the process of assessing the percentage completion of each activity. Percentage completion can be provided by updating physical and duration completion. The fourth module covers the complete process of assessing critical path and total float within the project program. Critical Path analysis assist project managers to delegate more resources to complete those tasks in time. Float within the program helps project managers to chip-in a new task in the program without impacting the overall project duration. The fifth module provides details of printing various project reports such as project reports, cost reports, organograms, from the Primavera P6.
