1.COMPANY PROFILE
ABOUT
Larsen & Toubro is Indias largest technology, engineering, manufacturing and construction witha record of over 70 years and with a dominant presence in India's infrastructure, power,
hydrocarbon, machinery and railway related projects. In recent years, L&T has expanded its
global presence and international projects contributed 9% of its overall order book for the 2010
11 period.
HISTORY
The company was founded in Mumbai in 1938 by two Danish engineers, Henning Holck -
Larsen and Soren Kristian Toubro. The company began as a representative of Danish
manufacturers of dairy equipment. However, with the start of the Second World War in 1939
and the resulting restriction on imports, the partners started a small workshop to undertake jobs
and provide service facilities. Germany's invasion of Denmark in 1940 stopped supplies of
Danish products. The wartime need to repair and refit ships offered L&T an opportunity, and
led to the formation of a new company, Hilda Ltd., to handle these operations. L&T also started
two repair and fabrication shops signaling the expansion of the company. The sudden internment
of German engineers in India (due to suspicions caused by the War), who were to put up a soda
ash plant for the Tatas, gave L&T a chance to enter the field of installation. In 1944, the partners
incorporated ECC; the company at this time was focused on construction projects (Presently,
ECC is the construction division of L&T). L&T decided to build a portfolio of foreign
collaborations. By 1945, the company represented British manufacturers of equipment used to
manufacture products such as hydrogenated oils, biscuits, soaps and glass. In 1945, the companysigned an agreement with Caterpillar Tractor Company, USA, for marketing earth moving
equipment. At the end of the war, large numbers of war-surplus Caterpillar equipment were
available at attractive prices, but the finances required were beyond the capacity of the partners.
This prompted them to raise additional equity capital, and on 7 February 1946, Larsen & Toubro
Private Limited was born.
Post Independence
Independence and the subsequent demand for technology and expertise offered L&T the
opportunity to consolidate and expand. Offices were set up in Kolkata (Calcutta), Chennai
(Madras) and New Delhi. In 1948, fifty-five acres of undeveloped marsh and jungle was acquired
in Powai, Mumbai. That uninhabitable swamp is presently its main manufacturing hub.
In December 1950, L&T became a public company with a paid-up capital of 2 million. The
sales turnover in that year was 10.9 million. Notable orders executed by the Company during
this period included the Amul Dairy at Anand and Blast Furnaces at Rourkela Steel Plant. With
the successful completion of these jobs, L&T emerged as the largest erection contractor in the
country.
In 1956, a major part of the company's Mumbai office moved to ICI House in Ballard Estate,
Mumbai; which would later be purchased by the company and renamed as L&T House, its
present Corporate Office. The sixties were also a decade of rapid growth for the company, and
witnessed the formation of many new ventures: UTMAL (set up in 1960), Audco India Limited(1961), Eutectic Welding Alloys (1962) and TENGL (1963).

In the IMS manual of HSE dept. the process flow chart, which gives one the idea about the EHSmanagement model and various functions of the departments with respect to EHS of the project.
The HSE management system model gives a brief outline about the management commitment towards
EHS and how customer requirements and statutory requirements are considered by effective planning in
which the Project EHS plan is made along with important things planned such as Risk assessment,
Objectives & Targets and necessary training. As we interacted with the EHS department at the project
site we discussed about how they planning to avoiding risks at executing the works safely and
environmental friendly they explained how well the staff is being made aware every time in the EHS
meetings and PEP talks made at the sites for the awareness to workmen to practice Safety to avoid
accidents. In implementation & operation the safe work methods as derived by the EHS department are
performed and work permit system in the site ensures the various works such as welding, gas cutting etc.
are performed along with the help of necessary things required to perform the work safely with the help
of site supervisors and in charges. The well working communication, participation and consultation of
EHS and site Engineers and managers shows us the results where in from the reports we could see the
level at which the EHS is being performed at the project site where there was maximum safe man hours
were performed without any accidents and no man days lost due to injuries were recorded.
The sub-contractors were also made aware of EHS and are given the induction for the various works
performed. Necessary PPE and signage was also shown around activities performed. For Fire prevention
and control necessary fire extinguishers were placed where necessary and necessary storage of cylinders
or fuel standards are maintained at the project site accordingly.
The EHS plan for the project was so specific about the various works performed in the site andaccordingly the various measures to be taken to prevent accidents and also details on different PPEs that

should be used according to the activity performed. The emergency assembly points are identified where
the people working on site to gather when accidents occur.
In order to enhance the EHS standards shall implement various programs for EHS promotion,
motivation, recognition, and penalty, etc., for individuals and sub-contractors.
Safety month is planned as per the EHS plan, we were invited for one of such meetings where the
Cluster EHS manager came in for a seminar to explain safety measures to be taken at the site and how
well to improve and control works. It was a very participative seminar where interaction was very well
accomplished to know how well the Engineers and Managers are aware of Safety management. He also
explained about the DOMINO THEORY applicable for the Construction safety management to attain
maximum safe man-hours to attain maximum productivity.
The safety management was also recognizing and rewarding workmen who practices safety and were
displayed on the notice board as a motivational process to achieve maximum safety.
ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT
Measures such as preventing Land/Air pollution were also listed in the EHS plan and as observed there
was better house keeping practices were seen when compared to my previous site visits made with other
construction companies which allows safe and quick access to work and finding any material or process
of work was pretty quick.
Possible measures were taken to avoid waste generation. As per the EHS plan the Project manager
prepares the wastage limitations for various bulk materials like cement, steel, aggregates and blocks etc.
during the initial stage of the project, and which the Cluster Project manager approves.
The waste generated from block work, GI ducting and insulation, piping work, rebar work, form work,
concreting, food waste, etc. were segregated and stacked at identified locations. Mortar and concrete
waste will be collected separately and disposed off at identified locations. Other waste like rebar, GI
sheet and duct insulating material will be stacked separately and will be disposed off with CTS
permission.

Evaluation of products, process is done by Quality audits. Making changes accordingly.
The organization structure was represented in the PQP to identify the roles and responsibilities for thesite and its supporting functions, which clearly shows the various departments their functions includingservice functions.
The batching plant at the project site was under control of the QA/QC department by which constantupdate and tests before the start of the plant was constantly observed and corrective measures ofcontrolling production was done by the department. Quality reports are maintained and reviewed bothquarterly and monthly.
To order for quantity site engineer must fill up the below pour card do check for the quality aspects forthat particular job where the concrete is to be ordered.
The tests we have observed in the site were Vertical Load test & Lateral Load test for the pilefoundations. They record the data and maintain documents and check whether the performance is as perstandards applicable as we went through the data we could analyze the data and could come to
conclusions that the pile foundations performance at the tests were good and they are going to give highperformance and were laid according to the standards by commitment towards quality and controllingcost and were delivered on time. This shows the commitment of the management towards qualitymanagement.

To plan and carryout production and service provisions under controlled conditions in order to achieve
compliance to requirements and to provide the benefits.
They ensure that the equipment and related spares are properly identified, handled, stored and preserved
at all locations.
The periodical calibration tests are performed and documented for further reference and making sure
they are approved to use the particular equipment ahead.
The other controlled documents and information system maintained by the P&M department are the
monthly productivity of the machinery and the plant such that constant reviews are made to improve if
necessary.
The project site Plant and Machinery collects data on productivity of the Machinery to ensure that it
meets the norms and deviation is known and measures taken accordingly, the data on fuel usage,breakdowns, repairs and spares is also maintained by this department.

LEARNINGS
As we were at the department of the P&M at the site we were made aware of operations at site we could
understand the various operations at site as below
Receiving equipment and then they are verified for equipment condition to go further to planand mobilize of resources (both manpower/infrastructure) while checking as they are meeting
the customer and statutory requirements and goes ahead for installing and commissioning at the
project site; if the obtained equipment isnt in the good condition then are subjected to repairs
and adequate measures taken and then led to installation.
Constant performance measurement and monitoring is done and records are maintained in therespective department and corrective actions taken to improve the productivity.
Frequent maintenance and repairs are also monitored and documented and further after its useare released and are intimated to the Cluster manger for the department to take further actions
to dispatch to the new location.
In this process constant feedback is obtained from the client and checks for non-conformities ifany and they take corrective action.
The typical process of equipment mobilization is
First post studying the drawings and recognizing various activities at the sites and they identifyvarious equipment needed at the site and then the Cluster plant manager (CPLM) studies various
Plant and machinery schedules (S-3) of different sites and review the availability of the
equipments; if available then check condition and goes through the repair process and then led
towards the procurement process, if not available then alternate solutions are recognized by the
resources and hiring process is done or new purchase is made through the procurement process
and dispatch is made to the site. While these process are functioned constant information is
communicated to the clients such that they reviews are made such that customer satisfaction is
obtained.
The purchasing is made by first identifying the purpose then selection of vendor, evaluation ofvendor and revaluation of vendor to ensure that the purchase product meets the requirement
specified and process of placing order is handled by the materials department of ECCD works
who are ISO certified.
As we studied the schedule for the Plant and Machinery (S-3) we could able to keep it along with theinternal Schedule of the project and learn how well planned the mobilization structured through out the
schedule. The S-3 schedule is prepared by CM/CPM and planning department by listing out the various
equipment to be needed for the project site and when they are required.
They then check with requirements of the clients and site managers to decide upon equipment make and
model, its capacity.
Certainly the Estimations of cost were also made along with the S-3 in order to plan and allocate
sufficient funds and to see that the processes are controlled accurately.

6. SITE FUNCTIONS
The scope of work as specified was to provide IT facility for Cognizant Technology Solutions. In our
internship at this project site we were able to learn the process of the following works
Piling works Foundation works Earthwork Anti termite treatment PCC works Water proofing Reinforcement works Shuttering works
First as we were at the site we were asked to have look at all the departments and get an idea about the
overall structure and how they function and one of the most vast and biggest department was Site
functions which is the major work because of which exactly co-ordinates with all the departments and
get the end product done.
The piling works were done here by the Sub-contractors i.e. Simplex Infrastructure with the help of the
engineers we could learn about each and every detail about the piling works.
Steps to cast a Pile foundation
1. The piling works are performed here as per the drawings provided by the EDRC departmentand specifications were included along.
2. Prior to starting piling by coordinating with the planning and construction manager thenecessary pile that is to be casted is identified by the site engineer and the surveyor identifies and
based on the drawings given like the setting out of various piles and establishes the co-ordinates
of the pile.
3. Here at this site rotary drilling with mud circulation method is adopted for boring. The augertool is used to do the boring initially for few meters. Then they install the temporary casing 5m
long using the rotary drive with casing head adopter arrangement.
4. The verticality of casing should is checked using spirit level and plumb bop.5. The centerline is re checked and the bore hence filled with bentonite slurry fed from bentonitetanks.
6. Bentonite head shall be maintained throughout the period the head shall be maintained 2mabove ground water table, Quantity of slurry during preparation, boring and prior to concreting
is monitored by in-situ test.(As per quality standards here specified the bentonite solution for
circulation should not exceed 1.25gm/cc during boring)
7. The depth of dril ling is constantly measure with regular intervals till reaching the bedrock.8. Then the pile depth is checked using sounding chain.9. The reinforcement department prepares the rebar and its acquired by the piling people and is
installed up to required level and we should ensure that the cage should not touch the bore wall.
10. Flushing is done with fresh bentonite slurry using pipes connected to the high-pressurebentonite pump. (Density of the bentonite is constantly monitored)

"#$%&' ( $#)$* +,-.'&/&-
11.After ensuring all the checks performed to attain quality the concrete is ordered and using tremiepipe and post completion of concreting the temporary casing is removed slowly.
Steps to cast a Pile Cap
1. Once the piling works are done as the required dates observed the excavation works are startedand they start excavation by ensuring levels with the surveyor as per drawings
2. Then the workmen for pile chipping are mobilized to break and chip the pile3. As the levels maintained anti termite works are done and checked as per standards and PCC is
laid and ensuring 75mm of sound concrete above PCC level.
4. Then as per the Drawings of RC details the Bar Bending Schedule is prepared by thereinforcement department and the steel is procured and will be fabricated and bent according to
the requirements and are dispatched to the work place with appropriate workmen who are
responsible to carry out that work
5. The erection of steel is done and ensuring the tying of rebars are as per standards and providingspacing as per drawings specified.6. The formwork engineer studies the shuttering drawing and the material is prepared accordinglythe formwork used here for shuttering for pile cap is the L&T formwork.
7. Ensuring proper strength, support and levels of the shuttering as per standards.8. The site engineer is then responsible ensuring all the levels and rebar work is as per drawings
prepares the concrete pour card and gets an approval as the quality engineer checks that
particular pile cap and gives an approval.
9. The concrete is produced at the batching plant and will be dispatched on the basis of availability.10. Prior to receive concrete prepare the area for vehicle arrival and concrete pouring as per the
requirement as the concreting is done by manually or by boom placer.
11.Then ensuring the water proofing admixture is added to the concrete the concreting work beginsand done in levels with adequate vibration method ensuring there are no voids or gaps and oncethe concrete reached required level check the top level and finishing is done as per the drawings.
12. Curing is done for 7 days.13. Similarly according to the Drawings, RC Detail drawings and Scheme drawings the works such
as PCC for stich slab, Stich slab reinforcement, shuttering is carried out ensuring quality.

REINFORCEMENT
As we were asked to be in each department and learn there functions we were at the reinforcement
department and we were first asked to go through the RC detail drawings of pile caps and columns and
prepare bar bending schedule. With the adequate knowledge and help from one of the engineer we wereable to prepare a BBS. Thus learning to prepare BBS was acquired and we made few more and checked
with the BBS prepared here at the site.

Post preparing the BBS we were asked to study the drawings and check for any rebar works at the site
and get an idea how they are tied and fabricated.
The main challenges in reinforcement is to obtain proper steel by the respective work according to the
design detail as sometimes due to poor housekeeping we loose track and may not be able to trace the
steel required in order to avoid such chaos we need to ensure proper tagging to every stack of bars and
also ensuring proper storage practices above the ground level in order to ensure the quality.

Ideal productivity as per the norms should be around 80 to 100kgs per man-days.
The productivity gives a broad idea for the Reinforcement heads and planning department to recognize
what are the major aspects effecting the productivity and how to improvise and mobilize if require to
increase the productivity.

FORMWORK
L&T Formwork is highly versatile and is equipped with state-of-art technology, fine-tuned to perform in
Indian conditions. Formwork systems are proven productivity boosters. The Department at the site
functions to find solutions to accelerate project by Mobilizing as per the scheduled works and utilizingthe material accordingly by planning proper movement of materials for using the formwork up to
feasible time the based on the no. of repetitions according to the material productivity of that particular
material.
The main objectives of L&T formwork department are
HIGH SAVING Recurring savings from re-use of formwork systems. HIGH SPEED Dramatically increases the speed of construction as a result of ease of working.
Means faster cycles and considerable saving in labour costs.
HIGH SAFETY Maintains international standards of safety, with built-in features likeguardrails, working platforms etc., so critical at great heights. Amenable to pumped concrete.
HIGH ACCURACY Makes for high dimensional accuracy and accurate maintenance of line,level and plumb in structures
HIGH QUALITY FINISH Smooth, even form finish greatly enhances aesthetics andsoundness of structure.
The formwork department at the Cluster first recognizes various activities to be performed at the site
with coordination with the HOD of the department at site level (taking their suggestions) and applicable
formwork materials are suggested prior to start and the most feasible in all means like cost, time, quality
and safety is selected and Scheme drawings are prepared by the EDRC department to know what kind ofmaterial is required to perform such activity and how the props and other fixtures are to be fixed.
The department to ensure acceleration at work they plan the movement of materials and coordinated
with the construction managers and planning manager to plan further on materials to make sure the
materials are mobilized if necessary and make them ready as per the target dates which are applicable.
The Cluster Formwork in charge does the mobilization process upon scheduling various activities and
checking with other project sites as in where there is surplus or non-moving stock and is dispatched
upon checking the material to the project site and constant updates are made to the inventory, they
constantly check what material should be mobilized from which location, if there is no material is at the
other project sites or there is no sufficient material present then they order for the formwork and make
the purchase from the L&T formwork production unit present in Pondicherry and mobilize them on
time and making them as per scheduled.
The constant updates are made as in to check the Labor productivity and Material productivity at the
department by the respective authorities to ensure the maximum productivity is obtained and if any
measures to be taken the applicable improvement required areas are identified and are improved
accordingly.
The obtained approvals for formwork at this site are

As Formwork is one of the most important aspect of site the department ensures that the works are
going as per schedule and monitoring material, mobilizing material and tracking of material should be
effective to achieve maximum productivity.
As Material handling is done by the workmen the department make them aware as in how to handle it
and how feasible is to go for manual shifting of the material and if possible tower crane shifting is done
to increase acceleration of work.
The formwork department ensures that the scheme drawings are available with the respective engineer
responsible and the form work system is erected as per the drawings post reinforcement works, making
sure there are no gaps and levels are checked prior to get authorization for going ahead to concreting.
Quality department checks for levels and damages on the plywood if any and ensures levels and whether
the plywood is oiled appropriately as per standards to obtain appropriate finish.

Total table forms prepared were 10 and each table form was 12 sqm.
So, Total work done = 120 Sqm
!"#$%&!"#$%&'()('* ! !"#!"
! ! !"# !"#$"%&
As we observed the works at the project site we gathered and calculated cost incurred and productivity of
that work done.

Hence adequateworkmen planningcan improve the productivity.
And Cost incurred in producing that particular formwork is derived as follows
Cost for Carpenter = Rs.412.5
2 Helpers = Rs.550
Total = Rs.962
Cost incurred per sqm = 962/12 = Rs.80.16 per Sqm. (Which is not feasible)

The Formwork engineer makes the rate analysis and the rate is decided after negotiating further with
workmen contractor.
The Formwork department at the site prepares documents such as Monthly Monitoring reports to get a
brief idea on how much is planned vs. Actuals, Achieved vs. Planned, Requirement as per the schedule is
prepared such that how much is procured and how much is balance to procure can be easily monitored
these sheets prepared by the Department helps both Cluster level Formwork in charges and Site level
planning managers to keep track of both Time and Cost.
An Actual Cost Estimate is prepared post requirement projection of Formwork system and the amount
of materials to meet the site conditions; this estimate helps to keep on track with the cost.

OBSERVATIONS
Post excavation one of the major obstacles and challenges for the construction managers is toface the water coming out around the piles and de water and do the necessary PCC works safely
and maintaining quality.
Post to many problems for approach to the pile cap areas after excavation improvements werefound in attaining better approaches both internal and external, this shows the constant
improving measures were taken upon observing problems occurred in similar jobs.

RECOMMENDATIONS
By a research performed on rebar tying machine and its productivity it says that a rebar can betied in less than 52% of time of what it takes to tie a rebar by traditional method as the
productivity here in the project site is low than what it should be, implementing usage of
machinery to tie rebars would help in increasing productivity 50% more than what it should bein traditional method. The challenge in taking up these machines is to retaining the workmen
who are trained by the company, as its a cost, maintaining appropriate relations with the sub-
contractor will work better.

7. STORES
As around 60% of project cost approximately depends on the various materials mobilized by the stores.
The stores along with the appointed resource manager in any construction project play a vital role in
managing inventories, controlling and managing all the stock required as per the plan when and whatkind of specified material should be mobilized. In L&T the main responsibilities of stores are specified as
follows:
Receipt & issue of materials including customer supplied material. Arranging for inspection/customer approval (of samples) of incoming materials. Proper storage of materials. Proper identification and traceability of materials. Proper stock analysis and inventory control/documentation.
As bulk materials are one of the most consumed in the site the amounts are recognized and as per theschedule for resources (S-6), which is prepared by the Planning Engineer. Here at this project site the
Bulk materials approved by the Clients are
Cement Penna/Zuari/Ultratech
Steel JSW
Approvals to mobilize are generally done by Project manager/Accounts.
The auditing in stores is conducted monthly to check whether authorized mobilizations are performed
and proper documentation is done and they check for Invoices and Material request forms.
In L&T for the ease of identifying materials while in the process of procurement or placing an order they
have classified materials in ITEM CODES, which is of 9 digits, and each material has its unique code
with starting numbers like:
1. Assets2. Tools & Tackles3. Consumable Items4. Reserved for any other items5. Electrical Items6. Bulk Materials7. Project Material8. Reserved9. Spares
The above item codes further derived as per the material specifications. The Enterprise Information
portal (EIP) the portal through which the Head Quarters and Site Stores manager communicate and
Make purchase order.
A material procured from site has a process for effective management and post procurement. First they
receive the procurement strategy on items to be procured from site then they raise material request

"#$$%& '()%&("*'+ &%+,&)
"#$%&' ( $#)$* +,-.'&/&-
indicating specifications once the MR is approved it is sent to the stores and then they identify the
vendors for material procurement.
The orders placed through this portal the vendors can also be selected on the basis of location of the
vendor, Past remarks etc. so orders go to that category of particular vendors then when the offers are
made by particular vendors who will be able to give the order and the site (or) cluster Stores managers
selects and evaluates and revaluates further and a vendor is selected.
The issue purchase order is made and an EMR no: is generated to the vendor such that he puts that into
the invoice for further reference at the site and billing. The PO details also contain Payment terms like
after receipt, after installation or maybe after commissioning. There are certain general requirements for a
vendor to register with the L&T EIP the vendors TIN NO. And Bank documents etc. shall be required.
The authorized person makes any products procured prior inspection. Invoices obtained are registered
on EIP and obtained reg. nos are sent to HQ along with the Photocopies at site.
The stock is updated constantly on the EIP, if a product is consumed it is reduced from the stock and
the reconciliation reports from all the departments are sent to the Stores manager to analyze the stocksavailable consumed and wastage. Reconciliation sheets are also updated on he EIP.

8. PROJECT MANAGEMENT
In the present construction practices and uprising material costs or the operating costs, the project needs
an efficient project management system, Larsen & Toubro implemented a system called Management
Program and Control System (MPCS) Which comprises of 10 Different schedules for the ease ofplanning Men, Material and Cost. With the precious knowledge of Planning department here at the
project site I was taught how the process of the planning starts post to the contract acceptance.
The 10 Different schedules prepared are
S 00 - Master Construction Program
S 01 - Schedule of InvoiceS 02 - Schedule of MilestonesS 03 - Schedule for Plant & MachineryS 04 - Organization ChartS 05 - Schedule for Workmen (Labour forecast)S 06 - Schedule for Bulk MaterialsS 07 - Schedule for Specialized AgenciesS 08 - Schedule for Direct CostsS 09 - Schedule for Indirect Costs
PROCESS OF PLANNING
Post receiving the Contract, the CPM decides upon the Project Manager and the Planning Manager. The
PM then prepares the Actual Cost Estimate (ACE), and identifies the areas of opportunity or risk. The
customer needs are known and timelines committed. Post to several meetings on briefing therequirements and other needs of the customer, the planning department work on preparing the MPCS
(Master program and Control System) all the 10 schedules to have a brief with the respective
departments on what needs to be mobilized and when they are needed to be mobilized are briefed for
the ease of the project flow.
The MPCS is updated constantly every month in order to track the progress, time, cost, workmen,
machinery used and materials.
The planning manager reviews the schedules S-3 to S-7 in order to plan for the resource requirements
ahead. They make daily, weekly, monthly plans based on the availability of resources and fronts and
prepare accordingly the monthly performance report and sent to the CPM for his review.
The other documents such as reconciliation statements are prepared every month and reviewed by the
PM and Planning Manager to track upon Tender Quantity vs. Actual Quantity.

LEARNINGS
As after going through all the departments in the project site we were put into the Planning department
which is the important department to learn how its functioned here, As planning being my interest the
planning department here given me certain exercises like to monitor the progress for the block SDB -3
and report the observations daily for a certain period so as into know how much time does an activitytake how many workmen are put on to the activities being performed, we also observed certain
difficulties which effected the productivity.
The planning department here comprises of one of the best teams I have ever came across which has
Quantification Engineers, Planning Engineers, Resource Managers, Billing associates and Drawings
Coordinator and controlling documents. The department is well managed by the Planning Manager and
the Project manager in order for constant checking upon the activities performed and the time taken and
measures taken to improve the conditions in the site and productivity, The daily progress meets are held
at the site where in the planning department focus on appreciating the progress and also suggesting the
construction managers that they can do better and resolve problems occurred by any department andensuring the resources are available and are utilized to the maximum. As it is the fact that efficient
performance is obtained when and only the available resources are used to the maximum efficiency.
After reporting the progress and monitoring things like productivity for similar activities we were then
taught about the various schedules prepared here and given exercise to prepare few schedules, by taking a
Block and the structural works involved in it, I made S-0, S-1, S-2, S-3, S-5 just to get a brief idea behind
the schedules I prepared them with available support from the planning department (Attached the
schedules prepared at the end of this document).
Then the planning executive has given me an exercise to make an Integrated plan for the Utility Block by
observing the present conditions of the area and available resources and we were provided with theprogress report till date, to get a brief idea. Understanding the progress according to the internal schedule
and the implementing a new system was a hidden challenge, with the help of the Assistant planning
manager I had a better view on what exactly to be planned and how the whole planning of the site
executions are taken care of.
The planning being most essential and the bigger challenge being able to execute the planned activities
being the challenge they check the progress by having daily progress meets where I was invited to sit
along while the Construction Managers and Departmental Heads sit along discuss the progress and
various challenges in executing the work, the team was so well organized that everybodys aware and are
ready to take challenges and accept them to achieve them accordingly.
