Project Capacity Enhancement

PPrroojjeecctt:: Birahi Ganga Hydro Power Limited.

CCaatteeggoorryy:: Time/Cost Saving - Sector: Power Infrastructure

Sushil Kumar's Engineering Vision helped this project. Articulating this vision,

he went ahead and enhanced the capacity of project from 4.8 MW to 7.2 MW.

Sushil Kumar helped the material department in arranging the materials at site

before time. This resulted in time saving. And consequently: cost saving.

During construction phase of Power House, it was decided to provide steel

structure above ground level, which saved time and money in civil works. By

implementing this idea nearly one year time was saved.

His concept helped to overcome the disaster by flood in year 2010, by successfully cutting the

mountain to divert the river and concreting the area damaged. There was further strengthening

by putting steel liner all along the bottom outlet. This work was completed in 21 days. A short

time for the project.

Protection work on the hill behind Power House and river training works was done on both banks

of Birahi River in front and in the vicinity of power house. This was to ensure habitat stability.

PPrroojjeecctt:: Construction of New Integrated Modular Terminal Building at Indore Airport

CCaatteeggoorryy:: Time Saving - Sector: Airports

The New Integrated Terminal Building is designed for peak hour

handling capacity of 700 passengers including 200 international

passengers. It is a unique blend of glass and steel structure, with an area

of 18000 sqm, meeting the world class norms.

The MS Project Programme for work was monitored in the monthly

project review meetings. The programme was revised as per the site

conditions. The critical activities were closely monitored to control the overall completion of the

project. Thus time was saved. Also, the quantities of various items were jointly worked out by

the Contractors' engineers and the Departmental engineers. This ensured that the material was

delivered at site well in time, so that the progress of work did not suffer.

A true scale model was used during construction. The structural steel roofing, skylight glazing and

roofing sheet were detachable so that the interior view could be seen. This was of great help for

clarity to supervising engineers during actual execution of work, resulting in time saving.

Tummalapalle, Kadapa, AP

CCaatteeggoorryy:: Cost Saving Sector: Other Infrastructure

The design of the building; Chemical House was done in a special way. As per client

requirement, this building was to have four bays. Each bay width was to be 24 m. That

meant that the total bay width would be 96 m. The length of the bay was 150m.

While detail designing, the building size was optimized by reducing one bay to 15m width. This

helped to save space in the plot. That saved cost of the project.

The Roof monitors for chemical house were replaced with gravent design for exhaust system.

This resulted in cost saving.

For the Carbonate & Bi-carbonate handling system in the project as per the scheme proposed

by the Client, the requirement was to have the conveying facility with bag slitting machine. The

scheme was redesigned with 1 tonne bag handling. The conveying system was removed which

saved cost.

PPrroojjeecctt:: Natural Draft Cooling Tower Construction 2 x 600 MW Kalisindh Thermal Power Project,

Kalisindh, Raj

CCaatteeggoorryy:: Innovation - Sector: Other Infrastructure

These cooling towers are the tallest cooling towers in the world measuring a height of 202

m, beating the existing record of 200 m. There are two identical cooling towers. While one

tower is complete in all respects, the second one is 75% complete.

The cooling tower had to be designed to a height of 202 m, with a top diameter of 90 m. Initially,

it was thought to complete the construction by the traditional method of providing one tower

crane at the center of cooling tower. But as the construction picked up, this was proving

inadequate, considering the quantum of concreting involved at higher elevations.

It was decided to have mechanization of construction as an alternative, for transportation of men,

material and concreting. It was decided to have hydraulic bridges placed inside the cooling

tower for transportation of men, material and concreting, in addition to the tower crane normally

used for construction. The hydraulic bridges have not been used by any other agency in India.

This approach also saved time.

SSuuddhhiirr MMaatthhuurrChief Scientist

PPrroojjeecctt:: Outer Ring Road of Delhi

Central Road Research Institute, New Delhi

CCaatteeggoorryy:: Cost Saving - Sector: Railways

The railway track was constructed on a 12 metre high soil

embankment. The embankment was confined from both sides by two

retaining walls. The total width of embankment was 15m. The

embankment soil consisted of pure sandy soil.

To create the underpass, precast boxes were used and were inserted

through soil using the box pushing technique. It was necessary to remove

the retaining wall on both sides of the embankment to facilitate the box

pushing. The box was slowly pushed inside the soil by gradually removing

soil which was encountered at the face of hollow box. The box was taken

up to the exit side. After reaching the other side of the wall, the other side of the wall was

dismantled and box was pushed further. The entire process facilitated in creating an underpass

below the rail embankment.

It was an achievement that no disruption of train had occurred during this entire process of nail

driving and wall dismantling. This amounted to good cost saving.

CCaatteeggoorryy:: Time Saving - Sector: Other Infrastructure

The project was of laying of 30" diameter pipe for GSPL under river Mahi in

Gujarat. The length of the pipe was 1500 meter (approx.). This was

undertaken after detailed geotechnical analysis, planning and optimum design

analysis. The goal was to execute the project with 250 Ton Rig capacity.

There were many challenges: Larger length of the crossing, environmental

issues, rig capacity, unpredictable soil changes and gravel encounter. The

parameters were identified, documented and strategized early to enable to manage properly.

Detailed study and Design conclusion helped in the selection of right tools and materials which

gave positive results and saved on time and cost.

The job required a 450 ton rig. That rig had to be procured and, only after the delivery of that

450 ton rig, the project work would begin. The project had a 250 ton rig ready and available. So,

the project was planned, with optimum design and engineering, for the execution with 250 ton

rig. All required resources were planned and proper monitoring and controlling was executed.

The job was completed with the use of the 250 ton rig and the schedule was met. Thus there

was time saving of period for 450 ton rig delivery.

PPrroojjeecctt:: Karjan Small Hydro Power Scheme 2 x 1.5 MW, Rajpipla, Gujarat

CCaatteeggoorryy:: Innovation - Sector: Power Infrastructure

The project confronted a special geological aspect. The complete

Power House was planned to be built on filled up soil. Hence the

settlement was a possibility and design had to be innovative to take

care of this parameter.

The ground level was 52 m, the canal bed level was 75 m and turbine

centre line was at 71.6 m. To overcome these locations parameters,

special design was to be done. The ground level for the two turbine

units was quite different, but, for the operational facility, the centre

line of the two turbines was kept at the same level. Due to geological

conditions, it was difficult to provide the foundation raft for both the

turbine units.

An innovative design was adopted. A special construction joint was designed to take care of this

situation and to avoid the different settlement, to the power House.
