Gantt and activities Schedule check Working over each other

Working over each other ?

Finds crews from different contractors scheduled in the same area at the same time where one is above the other (6 ft or more apart) or under a crane lift, then re-sequences them using float so the project finish does not move. Each fix is a safety tie: one crew finishes before the other starts in that area.

Re-sequence plan

Each tie uses float only; the project finish stays 2027-03-14 and no hard constraint is pushed past its date.

Need a decision

These crews cannot be separated without moving the finish, or one of them is already working. Record the overhead protection above, or accept the delay.

Work elevations

Feet above datum where each crew works (for example 100 at grade, 135 on the rack). P6 exports carry it in an activity code named Elevation; entries here are kept when a new export loads. Blank means unknown, and unknown overlaps are listed for review.
