These above-listed projects require HIPL to construct diaphragm walls. Diaphragm walls are deep basement structural concrete walls built within deep trench excavations. Completing these walls within the promised time frame necessitates a significant amount of team effort.
In the past, HIPL had collaborated with L&T construction for Kochi’s metro construction which was an extremely prestigious project and it remains to be one of the fastest-completed projects that connects rail, road and water transport facilities.
Despite already managing a significant number of projects, what makes HIPL different from a standard piling construction company is the usage of cutting-edge technology, advanced engineering solutions and a highly skilled workforce.
The Challenges
The HIPL team encountered a multitude of diverse and ever-evolving challenges while working on these projects. These challenges can be categorised into several key areas, each presenting its own set of complexities and uncertainties. Here are some of the notable challenges faced by the team throughout their endeavours:
- The scale and intricacy of coordinating multiple projects at once pose various and intricate problems that require careful attention and efficient solutions from the HIPL team.
- With numerous stakeholders, project teams and subcontractors involved, effective communication and coordination become essential. HIPL always makes sure that all parties are well-informed, aligned and working together harmoniously like anchors in construction across multiple projects that can be complex and require robust communication.
- Organising resources such as skilled labour and equipment across 22 projects becomes a daunting task. The team is always on their feet about these things and facilitates the necessary resources at the right time avoiding shortages or conflicts.
- Procuring raw materials from clients for the construction of diaphragm piles and continuing to work and deliver adhering to strict deadlines becomes an everyday mandatory task.
- Effectively scheduling and sequencing the tasks for 22 projects spread across the vast area of Ahmedabad concurrently is extremely time-consuming and difficult.Each project will has its own timeline and critical milestones and aligning them to ensure efficient progress across the board requires a comprehensive understanding of project dependencies.
- Maintaining consistent quality across 22 projects demands strict adherence to design specifications, construction standards and quality control processes from HIPL as compared to any sheet piling company. An assigned quality engineer streamlines that quality is upheld at each project site while juggling multiple responsibilities of meticulous oversight and monitoring.
Successfully navigating these challenges requires a well-structured project management approach, effective communication and a dedicated team experienced in piling construction and deep basement projects.
Building the future, one step at a time.
The Solutions
- HIPL solves the logistics problem with a team of more than 450 people spread across various project locations in Ahmedabad delivering on their promise of providing excellent diaphragm wall construction solutions. This team of people include well-versed engineers, operators, welders, on-site safety officers and project managers.
- Equipped with a state-of-the-art fleet of advanced and cutting-edge construction equipment and machinery, HIPL – stands out when compared to an average piling construction company that stands at the forefront of the construction industry in India. With an unwavering commitment to excellence, HIPL has successfully utilised a range of specialised machines for the aforementioned projects. Here is the key equipment utilised for these projects:
- Casagrande B100 and B125
- Tescar Machines – CF4 and CF6
- Rig Machines
- Compressors
- Excavators
- JCBs
Expert’s Note: The Tescar machines imported from Italy are compact, smart, innovative, reliable and perfectly suited for projects with less depth. They also come with drilling attachments which can also be used for top down construction activities.
How will these projects contribute to the growth of the city?
These 22 ongoing projects in the city will immensely contribute to the growth of the city in several ways.
- They’ve created job opportunities for many ground workers and allowed them to earn their daily wages even during off-season as the construction on these projects barely stop.
- New construction projects often involve the development of infrastructure such as roads, bridges, public transportation systems, utilities and public facilities. These projects will further encourage the government to work on developing connectivity and accessibility for residents.
- Construction projects can revitalise underutilised or neglected areas of a city. Redevelopment initiatives, including the construction of residential properties like Komal Luxuria in Dani Limda, can transform low-lying areas into vibrant and attractive neighbourhoods.
