Problem & Solutions:

  1. Problem 1 for Career Episode 1 and its solution

Financial issue

As the investors of the project were APSEZL (Rs. 250 to 300 crore), and balanced funding from Central Government (300 crores), State Government funding (50 crores) and individual unit funding, failure to release the fund in a timely manner caused the author to face a financial deficiency. Even though ASPEZL released its share, the author was unable to release the sub-contractors because of financial deficiency as balance funding had not released the fund in time. So, regarding the issue, the author conducted a required meeting with the balance funding representative and made them release the fund. This eliminated the hindrance in the project.

Problem & Solutions:

  1. Problem 1 for Career Episode 2 and its solution

The author found that in the berth number of cargos were responsible for generating the heavy amount of dust at the stockyard and berth. The author observed that the pile conveyer could decrease the generation of dust. But, the pile conveyer could not manage the dust pollution during the handling and storage of cargo. The author found that dust particle might become airborne which directly affected the surrounding people. The author consulted with project manager of the company to control the dust in site. Further, the author decided to use a fogging system for the suppression of dust like clinker, cement. The author found that the Fogging system consisted of a spray nozzle and pressure pump that settled down the dust particle at the bottom.

  1. Problem 2 for Career Episode 2 and its solution

The author met another issue as unavailability of power supply for the construction work in the site. The author found that the power supply was provided from the West Port existing substation. But, the author observed that the during peak construction stage sufficient power was not available that delay the construction works. The author consulted with electrical engineers to evaluate the demand of for proposed construction work. The author consulted the AMPTPL who installed the substation-1 for the supply of power from the Goa State Electricity Board. The author kept the two generators in as standby for emergency purpose.

Problem & Solutions:

  1. Problem 1 for Career Episode 3 and its solution

In the initial phase, the author used the two electrical pit. Using it, the author observed that it consumes more time, manpower & structure steel for formwork as a bottom shutter. Also, the author observed that two electrical pits require excess supports for construction. On the other hand, casting must be performed in several stages which consumes more time. So to avoid these problems, the author used only one electrical pit & made it precast as only one electrical pit was sufficient for cable pulling. After its use, the author was able to get 50% less time & manpower consumption for shuttering & reinforcement work.

  1. Problem 2 for Career Episode 3 and its solution

The author had not precast the deck plant expansion joint. Due to this, the author observed various problem such as more consumption in time for tying & placing of reinforcement taken. Also, dependent activities were suffered due to delay. So to solve these problems, the author made precast in expansion joint of deck slab & also inserted plate for embedding and providing horizontal support. After using it the author was able to have less usage of structural steel. The author also observed a reduction in time consumed for reinforcement tying, shuttering & de-shuttering work.
