PLANTRAC-TIMELOCK (time/location) produces a two dimensional bar chart. On one dimension you can see when activities are scheduled to start and finish. The other dimension shows you whereabouts the activities are taking place. Major planning benefits can be obtained for projects involving Roads, Bridges, Tunnels, Pipelines, Factory Production Lines and Housing Estate construction.

PLANTRAC-TIMELOCK is based on Line of Balance and Elemental Trend Analysis techniques and was a joint development of the Civil Engineering Division of Norwest Holst Construction Limited and COMPUTERLINE Limited.
