Dynamic Phasing Book For Professionals
Are you working on a bid, claim or actively constructing? Do you have a complex project like rail works, roads, pipeline or buildings? Phase Manager is for you.
Phase Manager allows, simply and intuitively, phasing creation of dynamic works and directly related to the project schedules. What is usually tedious and time-consuming, can be done with Phase Manager in a simple and automated way.

Phasing In A Few Clicks
Phasing represents the succession of different phases of construction. This diagram makes it possible to visualise the different objectives of the project, including planning materials and resources. An essential tool for coordination, phasing makes it possible to fix the milestones of a project of public works, construction or development, and to follow it while communicating with customers or teams. On the majority of the projects, phasings are made using drawing tools or spreadsheets, which have no connection with schedules. Whilst phasing is often preferred to schedules, it’s often not used as traditional phasing tools make it too time consuming, tedious and expensive. Until now.

DANIEL CADENA, PROJECT MANAGER
Very nice and clean, it gives your phasing a professional impression. Create and update phases through the native GANTT chart is extremely fast and useful. Phase Manager is from now on in my toolbox.
Matthieu Drago, EIFFAGE Project Manager
We used Phase Manager to complete a bid for a project in the Paris area. After planning in TILOS, it was necessary to carry out a phasing of the work with plan views to better appreciate the spatio-temporal progress of the different tasks. Thanks to Phase Manager, the phasing book was quickly completed. This made the schedule more meaningful so that everyone could understand it.
Manon Legouge, Research Engineer, Vinci Construction
It was during a price study on a dike construction project that I discovered Phase Manager. In just a few hours, we were able to produce very professional and impressive phasing books to enhance our offer.

CASE STUDY: Office renovation
Project
Redevelopment of an office floor.
Planning
Planning done in Phase Manager.
Phasing
Only two drawing are used on this project (the initial plan after removal of the partitions and the final plan), and the planning situation helped to create automatically intermediate drawings.

CASE STUDY: Bridge construction
Project
Bridge construction on a highway despite the traffic.
Planning
Planning was carried out entirely in Phase Manager.
Phasing
We note drawing evolution based on the progress and also the traffic patterns according to the work, essential aspect to build an intelligible phasing.

CASE STUDY: Rail works
Project
Train and railway works on an operating line – Track-ballast renewal, sleepers, switches and rail replacement, bridge deck replacement and other civil works.
Planning
Planning has been done through TILOS software.

Scheduling data is not accurate as it is a Sample Project for Phase Manager.
Phasing
On this sample we use two maps, the first one from Google Earth to see the initial situation, the second one taken from the “client” which represents the expected final situation. The phasing gradually shows the elements of the architectural project on the initial plan, depending on the progress.

CASE STUDY: Commercial area
Project
As part of its urban development policy, Saint-Jean-de-Monts wanted to create a new cluster of companies, and thus acquired 17 ha including 10 ha assigned to buildings. As a compensatory measure, she acquired 20 ha of Marais Breton. Oryon, owner in charge of this project, therefore relied on Phase Manager for the management of compensatory measures.
Planning
Planning had been done by construction companies with Excel.
Phasing
This is a proofing phasing made after execution of the work. Images attached to tasks come from the construction site. The phasing allowed essentially to communicate on the execution of the work and to build a return on experiences.

Project
Due to the problem of adhesion on the roadway, the right-hand roundabout had to be rehabilitated. Construction of a retaining wall and retrofitting of sidewalks and curbs were added to the program.
Planning
Planning has been done through TILOS software.
Phasing
The phasing was done with Phase Manager to manage as well as possible users circulation during works. It allowed to adjust the scheduling of the works in order to reduce the inconvenience for the users.

CASE STUDY: Pipeline construction
Project
Construction of 100 km of pipeline, with road / rail crossings, water crossings and protected areas.
Planning
Planning has been done with TILOS software, a Time-Distance diagram software
Phasing
In order to facilitate the understanding of the execution plan, the schedule was projected in Phase Manager. The phasing offers a better reading of the interfaces, makes it possible to identify the hard points and to verify the respect of the environmental constraints.

CASE STUDY: Highway widening
Plan view and cross section view
This motorway widening project generated numerous impacts on the entire road. The phasing diagram shows, in a specific area, the schedule on a plan view and on a cross section. This approach makes it easier to check the coherence of the schedule with all project constraints (traffic, environmental impact, etc.)
