 Final Time Scale Diagram after Resource Levelling
For Tower Crane the resource has been levelled by delaying the start of the activity 2-3 using 3 days float of the
available 4 days in the path (2-3-5) to the start of the activity.

For Bull dozer the resource has been levelled by delaying the activity 6 -7 by 2 days utilising 2days from the float of 6
days availabe for the activity
