Dear Structural Design Engineers, What is the one thing that gives us the most satisfaction? It is when our Designed Structure become a tangible reality and stands Tall and Proud. Right? BUT!!! Do you know what levels up this sense of satisfaction multifold? It is when you could also present and publish about that project in front of your peers. The road to innovation in construction isn’t easy (understatement of the year!). The risk-to-benefit ratio in our industry is so skewed to unfavorable side that it is usually preferred to follow the norms. That is why a structural engineer could rarely experience the 4th stage in their Project (Refer Image). If you’re reading this far, I owe you a quick overview of this boundary-pushing project. So, here’s the scoop: Currently rising in Nagpur, Maharashtra, is a 2.26 km flyover – but not your everyday structure! This one is built using Ultra-High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) with jaw-dropping numbers like 155 MPa in compressive strength and a tensile strength of 8 MPa. For India, this is huge (we don’t even have our own design code for UHPFRC yet!). So, yes, we’re truly venturing into new territory here. Stay tuned for PART 2 where I'll dive deeper into UHPFRC. Got questions about the Project, UHPFRC, or even my stress levels while designing it? Drop them in the comments!

Temperature Alert PUNE temperatures are already around 40 deg celcius. Avoid using waterproofing chemicals in afternoon hot climate. Most of waterproofing chemicals Technical Data Sheets mention max temp as 35 deg celcius. It's high time now mfg companies redesign their products to suit changing climate conditions. #Construction chemicals #Waterproofing #High temperatures #Architects #Construction consultants #Civil Engineers #Waterproofers #Builders #Contractors #Redevelopement

Addressing Quality and Safety Issues in Building Construction Projects In recent years, the construction industry has seen a concerning rise in quality issues and fire accidents, particularly in new residential and commercial buildings. Having been in the industry for a long time, I’ve identified some critical factors contributing to these vulnerabilities: 1.Mechanical and Electrical Services : These essential components, including electrical work, plumbing, and firefighting systems, are often undervalued by developers and construction authorities. Despite accounting for 10-15% of the overall building cost, negotiations and price cuts lead to quality compromises. Many capable agencies are bypassed to save costs, resulting in severe contractor shortages and mid-project abandonments, compromising both quality and safety. 2. Electrical Conduit Laying: Often performed by unskilled labor or civil contractors, conduit laying without professional oversight leads to technical mishaps. This practice results in frequent issues like chokepoints in conduits, necessitating destructive corrections that cause delays and water seepages, as seen in several high-profile Mumbai projects. 3. Firefighting Systems: The use of second-hand, refurbished switchgear in firefighting pump panels due to poor contractor selection and unreasonable price negotiations poses significant fire hazards. These cost-cutting measures compromise system reliability, endangering lives and property. While developers often employ multiple layers of consultants and in-house teams to oversee these aspects, practical, on-the-ground checks are rare. Instead, a more effective solution lies in fostering a culture of trust and collaboration with competent contractors. This approach not only enhances quality and safety but also reduces manpower and consultancy costs. Observations from small-scale developers demonstrate that strong, cohesive teams working towards common goals achieve superior quality, safety, speed, and cost-efficiency. Reinstating trust and forming robust teams of skilled contractors is the key to addressing these pressing issues in the construction industry. Let's strive for better practices and build a safer, higher-quality future together. #MEPservices ,#electricalcontractor #mumbai #construction #firefightingwork

Day 19 / 60 Day Hard Challenge (Estimation and Costing) The process of calculating a building's overall project cost is known as estimation and costing. The final work is completed for Police Staff Accommodation . 1. Estimation and Costing > Items (Quantity) 2. Schedule of Rates > Rates 3. BOQ > Amount Our project of under taken rates are CPWD - (SOR) • SOR (Schedule of Rates) SOR stands for Schedule of Rates, and it is a document used in construction and civil engineering projects to standardize the pricing of various construction works and materials. It serves as a reference for calculating the cost of work items in construction, ensuring consistency and fairness in cost estimation and project execution. • CPWD SOR: The Central Public Works Department (CPWD) releases an SOR for use in central government projects. It is a widely recognized standard in the construction industry across India. If you need help preparing a bill of quantity for a specific project or would like further details, feel free to ask!
