Construction Industry faces lot of problems in managing huge projects like Infrastructure, especially the construction and management of Metro Rail project within the assigned duration is a nightmare. There are so many risks and delays associated with the metro projects, as the project takes over 5 years of duration. The metro project causes many types of risks and delays such as excusable, non-excusable, and concurrent delays. As the project involves usage of heavy equipments, over and underground construction of the rail routes, sudden withdrawal of the third parties and other such risks causes commotion and lot of problems, confusion in completion of the work. To avoid such issues, the management should use the proper tool and the apt method in managing and completion of the project. In India, the metro rail has adopted the 4D-BIM tool and has implemented in some of the stations and is in process of doing 5D, though it has the start-ups of the 4D, the scheduling of the projects still lacks proper method. The traditional techniques and tools like CPM, PERT, Primavera, BIM360 and others which are been practiced still lacks and has limitations in the scheduling of the projects. So to avoid all these limited traditional version, this project focuses mainly of using the ELECOSOFT Power Project Software which has more of advantages compared to other traditional tools in implementing the Critical Chain Path Method which allocates resource tasks and buffers to the project’s activities. This CCPM method has proven the early completion of the project with estimated time and cost. So this project is the implementing of the new idea in a new BIM tool with two cases which gives practical solutions to the trending problems in the Metro Rail projects.
