Slide 14: 

Location of the project came under the heavy rainfall zone, providing a very small window for project completion Extended and heavy monsoons 30% higher rainfall in 2010 than normal Monsoon persisted till mid November Scarcity in sand and backfill availability Number of blocks to be cast – 1.1 million Rigid deadline for completion of project Challenges

Strata’s Unique Approach : 

Two casting yards were established for efficient and economical logistics Automated block making plants comprising automatic batching plant with Columbia block making machines, off bearers, trolleys and forklift were deployed at the yards The casting yards were made functional during the rainy season by providing extensive rain protection system Strata’s Unique Approach Blocks being Cast using Columbia Machines Block Casting Yard

Strata’s Unique Approach: 

Foundation assessment was carried out by a leading geotechnical consultant. Designs of the structures were completed well in advance to avoid delays in execution. Stretch of 57 kms of RS Wall construction area was divided into three sections, each headed by a section in-charge under the over-all supervision and guidance of a dedicated project head. Synchronized and coordinated effort was put in place for various activities A dedicated team of professionals at the head office tracked the project daily, using a proprietary progress reporting system, specifically designed for a project of this magnitude.
