We provide and support the following Dynaroad software:
DynaRoad™ is a schedule and mass haulage optimisation system for heavy construction projects. The system provides substantial cost savings due to shortened mass haul distances and increased effectiveness in resource and schedule control.
Utilization in all project steps
Dynaroad™ includes all the tools needed for planning and controlling the schedule and mass haulage projects.
The system can be utilized in all project steps:
1) Design control
2) Tender calculation
3) Production planning
4) Project implementation / production control
Large scale benefits
Cost savings due to increased effectiveness; simultaneous computer assisted planning of schedule and
mass haulage decreases the need of stockpiling and double work.
Effective design control
The mass haul related cost effects of different schedule alternatives are can be calculated using DynaRoad.
Weak spots in the designs, such as parts causing long mass haul distances, mass deficit or surplus are identified and
communicated to the designers via clear graphs and reports with instructions on how to improve on their designs.
Shortened planning time
It is possible to create and examine the cost effect of multiple schedules and haul plan alternatives in a fraction of the time required when using conventional methods.
This is achieved for example by automating routine calculations such as mass haul plans and cost calculations.
Resource based planning points out potential scheduling problems as early as in the tender phase.
Plans are created using graphical mass haul diagrams, TD-charts, resources graphs and a location aware GANTT chart. All the data is also available summarised and filtered in text reports.
Project control
DynaRoad is used to provide a systematic approach to project cost and schedule control.
Actuals from the site are compared with planned amounts, costs, haul distances and resources. In the case of deviations,
DynaRoad can be used to forecast the cost and schedule effects of the deviation and suggest the best control action to minimise the negative effects.
Cutting edge Technology
DynaRoad utilises two different advanced calculation methods for creating either the best possible mass haul plan or an efficient resource-based schedule and mass haul plan.
The automatic calculations are designed to assist the planner in finding the best possible solutions.
All the solutions given by these calculations can be altered by the planner at any stage.
Developed in co-operation with leading contractors
The DynaRoad system has been developed in close co-operation with the leading Finnish contractors and design engineers to suit their needs.
The development process is closely guided by industry experts to ensure a set of tools that meets requirements.
DynaRoad has been developed in collaboration with Lemcon, Skanska-Tekra., Tieliikelaitos and Helsinki University of Technology - construction economics and management.
