TILOS NEWS... | |
Oil & Gas: Energy sector... Copenhagen Metro Extension built with TILOS... “TILOS is being used as the strategic planning tool for the Copenhagen Cityring Project. Early in the project it was used to assess the impact of different TBM sequences and number of TBM’s on both the overall program and the interfaces with the individual station construction. As the project has developed the tool has been invaluable in quickly assessing the effects of changes, possible delays and determining suitable mitigation measures, for both the TBM drives and the station constructions.
