Dear ECC-ites,

The 70th

year of L&T and the

birth centenary of our co-founder

Mr. Henning Holck-Larsen were

celebrated in a grand manner in

Mumbai on December 21, 2007,

in which a galaxy of leaders from

political and business fronts took

part. Speakers at the event

acknowledged the admirable role

L&T played in nation-building.

Perhaps the most fitting

tribute was expressed by the

Union Finance Minister,

Mr. P. Chidambaram who lauded L&T

as India’s only company in the ‘National

Sector’. The event reiterated the pride

of place that L&T occupies in the annals

of the Indian economy and its

commitment to building the India of

the future.

As a company engaged in building

infrastructure for India and meeting the

needs of the core sectors of economy,

L&T’s focus has always been to

undertake projects in critical

infrastructure sectors like airports, ports,

power, oil and gas. In order to sustain

our pre-eminent position in the market,

we have been focusing on large EPC/

Turnkey contracts. L&T is associated

with some of the most prestigious

airport modernisation projects in India,

the latest being the Mumbai

International Airport contract secured

against competitive bidding. This

success should serve as an endeavour to

strengthen our position as a market

leader in airport construction business.

I believe that the critical aspects for

organisational sustainability are

continual efforts on cost optimisation

through process improvements and

technological advancements. A vital

linkage in this direction would be the

effective implementation of Information

Systems. The L&T-IT Council Meet and

All India ISD Meet in Chennai

highlighted new developments in EIP –

Enterprise Information Portal, CeMa –

Construction Enterprise Management,

PDSS – Production Decision Support

System, EIP Vidhya & IT

Infrastructure. It is noteworthy to

mention that our Information Systems

Department has been at the forefront

in creating a robust knowledge-driven

EIP System. The various business

process improvements implemented

across departments have been

instrumental in ensuring operational

efficiency and accuracy.

ECC has won the prestigious EMPI –

Indian Express Indian Innovation Award

for 2006 for its formwork systems. The

award commends ECC’s pioneering

efforts in propagating and implementing

a number of innovative simple processes

and revolutionising construction within

India and setting standards for the

industry in general.

The Quality Rolling Trophy is a

testimony to our commitment to QA

& QC systems and serves as a

benchmark to achieve highest quality in

all our projects. This year we had 55

entries making it the largest since the

awards were instituted. While

congratulating the winners, I take this

opportunity to reiterate that we need

to make continued efforts to strengthen

our QA & QC systems and constantly

strive to achieve highest quality in all

our projects.

With best wishes,

K.V. Rangaswami

Member of the Board &

President (Construction)

Veligonda – A Trailblazer for ECC in Dam ProjectsArid landscapes, barren fields and dusty track lands define

the upland areas of Prakasam, Nellore and Kadapah Districts

in the State of Andhra Pradesh which fall under the severely

drought prone zone. This scenario is all set to change with

the realization of the four ongoing irrigation projects –

Veligonda, Gundlakamma, Ramatheertham and Palair, which

is expected to increase the irrigation potential from the

present 7.45 lakh acres (3.01 lakh hectares) to 13.45 lakh

acres (5.44 lakh hectares) in the next three years. This

quantum jump of 80 per cent will be achieved when the

projects are completed at a cost of Rs.4000 crore under

the “Jalayagnam” programme launched by Chief Minister

Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy.

A huge reservoir, called the Nallamala Sagar, is being formed

closing three gaps at Gottipadia, Sunkesula and Kakarla.

Water is proposed to be to be drawn from Kollamvagu

through an 18.80 km long tunnel by gravity and thereafter

to impound in the Nallamala sagar through a feeder canal

of 23.36km length. The canals are proposed from Sunkesula

gap, Gottipadia gap and Kakarla gap and envisages to draw

43.50 TMC of flood water from river Krishna upstream of

Srisailam reservoir to irrigate 4.38 lakh acres (1.7 lakh

hectares) in 29 mandals, mostly in Prakasam district and

marginally in Nellore and Kadapa districts.

ECC, the construction Division of L&T, is engaged in the

construction of one of these dream irrigation projects –

The Veligonda Dam, which when completed would provide

irrigation benefits to upland areas of the district besides

providing safe drinking water to 15 lakh people who had

been consuming groundwater with excess fluoride content

for decades.

ECC’s works comprise the closing of Gottipadia Gap and

excavation of Gottipadia Canal including construction of

CM & CD works, distributory system for 9500 acres. ECC

A view of the dam under construction


13

secured this contract in 2005 from Irrigation & C.A.D.

Department of Andhra Pradesh. Initially valued at Rs. 380

crore, the contract value was revised to Rs. 395 crore

considering the escalation cost. This is ECC’s first major

Dam project and is being executed on an EPC (Engineer,

Procure and Construct) Turnkey basis.

The scheme comprises construction of Dam from EL 162

to EL 230 having a base width of 57.96m and top width

of 12m, 11.40 km length canal, distributory system for

9500 acres. ECC’s major scope of work includes 10,00,000

Cum of excavation, 9,00,360 cum and 1,00,000 cum of

concreting during stage one and two, 1600t of

reinforcement, 2,30,000 sqm of formwork, 58,000 Rmt

drilling for grouting, 51,000 bags for grouting.

There was a considerable delay in the progress due to relief

and rehabilitation compensations, the project is now

strategically placed and is scheduled for completion by

August 2008.

Mr. Arvind Ramkrishna Nerurkar

(ARN), Project Manager, highlights

that Veligonda Dam is one of the

prestigious project of the Government

of Andhra Pradesh and the

implementation of the scheme would

irrigate the drought affected districts of

Prakasam, Kadappa and Nellore and

provide drinking water to the town of Markarpur. Out of

the 3 packages being executed, ECC is entrusted with the

largest gap – 600 m long, 84 m high from the deepest

level of the dam.

ARN views the project as a challenging proposition as it

is L&T’s maiden venture in constructing a dam of such

magnitude. He asserts that an initial review of similar dam

sites was instrumental in planning the machinery

requirement for the project. Though there is not much

technical sophistication, the project has a huge requirement

of concrete - 10 lakh cum, which is to be poured at a

temperature of 15 degree Celsius. Achieving and

maintaining the standard of concreting is a Herculean task.

While there was a delay in the mobilization of the new

tower cranes, the project think-tank convinced the client in

using tippers for pouring concrete as feeding of concrete

in transit mixers was not suitable due to low aggregate of

concrete and slump. Adept proof of such activities executed

in similar projects convinced the client for implementing

the same. The core samples were found to be higher than

the standard specifications. As the height of dam started

increasing earthen ramps up to 30 m height was created

for the movement of tippers. Later on conveyor was used

for shifting concrete from the batching plant to the top. As

the project required steel formwork, the entire shuttering

was designed and schemed in-house at site. Hydra cranes

were used for handling the shuttering. To reduce the cycle

time, the shutters were combined with structural steel

channels with the combined width of shutters being 4.8

m. Thus for a stretch of 25m which used to take 12 to 14

hours, the task could be completed in 6 to 7 hours. ARN

sights the sourcing of aggregates as one of the major issues.

Markapur is famous for slate rock formation which cannot

be used as aggregates. Though a hillock suiting our

requirement was identified, it was a combination of hard

and soft rock and hence the planned output could not be

achieved. An alternative arrangement with a local quarry

was established for a nominal rate.

Sourcing of river sand was another challenging task as the

nearest vendor was around 220 km away from project site.

ARN attributes that success of the project to the positive

attitude of his team. He says “concreting per month was

around 40000 cum and rarely did we have any problem

due to stoppage of work or non availability of aggregates”.

Innovations and in-house alternatives are the hallmarks to

the speedy execution of this project.

The huge tower crane buckets of 3 cum, vibrator needles

were locally fabricated which resulted in considerable savings

of cost and time. The ice plant which was initially proposed

in a concrete room was done in structural steel which

ensured head start and would facilitate easy dismantling.

ARN states that the clients are thoroughly impressed and

consider L&T as trend setters and refer other dam

contractors to review L&T’s project. Mr. Rajasekar Reddy,

the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh visited the project

during November 2005 and commended L&T for excellent

work being done.

Mr. T.R. Subash (TRS), Manager

Design, EDRC-HQ, says that “It was

a dream for me to design a dam and

Veligonda project helped in fulfilling the

same. Veligonda dam project is the first

dam project for EDRC and our team

members took this opportunity as a

challenge and successfully completed the

design of 84 m high and 600 m long concrete dam.” More

than the design of dam section, he states that the interesting

area of work was the planning of the internal arrangements

within the dam body with gallery, adit, shaft, lift etc. The

dam consists of around 2 km of gallery within it, which

will be used for the dam inspection purpose and grouting.

Planning and aligning this multi level gallery and the inter-

connection of the galleries with access adits were really

brain wracking. TRS states that “generally, we have heard

of grout holes, but in dam we have ‘A’ holes and ‘B’ holes

for grouting to improve the impermeability of dam base in

terms of lugeons”. The dam base was grouted with a total

drill length of around 22 km.

Different types of instruments were embedded in dam body

to monitor the dam in terms of settlement, plumb, thermal

etc. The monitoring was reviewed with a computerized

data acquisition system. TRS asserts “that all this was done

through our internal capability and was instrumental in

designing the dam with economy”

Mr. Pankaj Keshav Gursale (PKG) –

Planning Manager, says “when

completed the dam would be hailed as

the engineering marvel of Prakasam

district”. PKG sites that the remoteness

of the locale posed the biggest challenge

as management of materials was a critical

task. Expect for the aggregates, the

minimum distance for sourcing of other materials was

around 200 km away from project site.

The daily targeted concrete was around 1500 Cum.

Interacting with the vendors and convincing them to deliver

on schedule was one of the most important activity for the

smooth progress of the project. The methodology involved

in concreting was through dump trucks, transit mixers and

tower cranes. Around Rs. 6 crore worth of infrastructure

was mobilized for maintaining temperature controlled

concreting. Two 125tpd chilling plants, 250t of

refrigeration, two ice plants were installed for getting the

required concrete pour. PKG states that “during summer,

the temperature crossed 50 degree Celsius and two of our

thermometers burst due to the extreme heat. Maintaining

a concrete pour at 15 degree Celsius was perhaps the most

consistent challenge through out the execution.”

Having seen through the major phase of project, PKG

augurs that the project would become a landmark for L&T

in dam construction. From the financial purview, PKG

proudly states that “for the last 31 months there is no

outstanding which is a commendable achievement

considering the nature of the project. The client awarded

commendation certificates for achieving 1.68 million safe

man-hours for the period September 2006 to April 2007

and highest concreting (46000 cum) in the month of

February 2006.

Mr. M. Sankaranarayanan (MSN),

Time Office, asserts that being a naxalite

area, it is mandatory to have close ties

with the police and local administration.

As the project involved land acquisitions,

there were frequent agitations by the

villagers. All such issues were amicably

resolved with the help of the local

bureaucracy and political leaders. He subtly remarks on the

local opinion about him “stand for election and you can

win”, a testimony to the excellent rapport MSN has built

up with the local administration. MSN highlights that the

labour quarters is well maintained and has been appreciated

by the inspecting authorities. Considering the remote locale

of the project, the workers are fixed a lump sump amount.

The maximum OT availed is 84% which when considered

with the quantum of work is a minimal percentage.

Mr. B. Srinivasan (BSN), Manager -

Accounts & Administration, says

“Maintaining cordial relationships with

the locale population is instrumental in

the smooth flow of work.” BSN

highlights that when aggregate sourcing

was an issue; the local MLA intervened

and helped sourcing for a nominal rate. An understanding

with the Collector, RTO and AD Mines was brought about

for permitting sand transport without any hassle. BSN

asserts that “unity comes only if we gather in informal

manner” and this has been the main feature of the well

knit project team.

The spouses of the staff have formed a ladies club and

have family get-togethers thereby creating bonhomie among

the family members. Since Markapur, the nearest town is

devoid of decent lodging houses, exclusive facilities have

been provided at the accommodation and guest house.

Unlike other sites, the staff quarter rooms are dual sharing

with attached bath. Around 400 workmen are well

accommodated in 12 blocks. He states that 600 ceiling

fans have been provided for the workmen at the labour

colony. A separate team reviews the up-keep of the labour

colony. The Deputy Labour Commissioner during his visits

appreciated facilities and maintenance of the labour colony.

Since work is round the clock activity, the project has

opted for staggered off instead of the weekly break. The

option was well received by the staff and workmen.

As part of the corporate social responsibility two additional

class rooms for the government school was built at a cost

of Rs 2.5 lakhs. In addition staff contributed for the

books and stationeries. BSN states that “an environment

friendly zone is being nurtured at site; around 892 saplings

were planted during HHL Centenary Celebrations making

it the highest number of plantations in HYRO. A small

park has been created at the guest house and pets such as

rabbits, ducks, goose are reared. A tie up with two schools

nearby has been effected for securing admission during

mid academic year for the wards of ECC-ites. Due

importance is given to sporting activities during leisure.

The project team boast of a strong cricket team and plays

frequent matches with the police department. He proudly

states that they have annexed “the V.N. Gokhale and KAS

Cup”. During weekends films are screened at the guest

house. BSN asserts maximum productivity is derived only

when the staff and family are comfortable in all aspects.

Having seen through project from the initial phase, BSN

has prepared a handy mobilization kit highlighting the

various procedures, formats and nuances for a job of such

nature which would be released shortly in the regional

office.

Mr. S. Shriraman (SSRN), Manager

– Quarry/Crusher, states that identifying

and sourcing the total requirement of

boulders (22 lakh MTP), was a major

issue during the initial phase as the local

terrain had affinity to slate rock. Since

the identified quarry was giving a low

output, an alternative was sourced from

a local contractor. Two crushers with a combined capacity

of 450 tph are installed to cater to the aggregate production.

Sand impactors are used to enhance the quality of the

aggregate output. SSRN highlights that mechanized system

of aggregate operations is instrumental for achieving the

planned output. He states that it is for the first time L&T

is doing a concrete gravity dam and the success of the

project is due to the able assistance provided by EDRC-

HQ, Quarry Department and Region.

January - March 20071616

Mr. M. Pandian (MP), Manager –

P&M, asserts that “P&M is the backbone

to this project and we are having here

specialized major assets such as 120 cum/

hr H3N concrete batching plants with

aggregate individual weighing system for

the best accuracy, 250 TR water chilling

plants and 125 tpd flake iceplants for 13 degree concrete

placement at pouring point, 25t & 32t tower cranes – very

unique models for dam concreting.” As power comes under

L&T’s scope, the total site is being electrified by power

generators sets having an installed capacity of more than

6 MVA.

The very fact that for the last two and a half years there

has not been a single day without power is a testimony to

excellent maintenance of equipment and the dedicated P&M

team which makes it possible. The total asset value is around

Rs. 32 crore. Inspite of the remote locale, non availability

of resources locally, MP says “we are achieving targets, set

by site management through systematic planning and timely

preventive maintenance”. Another major issue which was

diligently handled was the retaining of trained manpower

at site.

For Mr. Rashpal Pahwa (RSP),

Manager-QA/QC, the project is his

maiden assignment in L&T. Having

joined the organization in October 2005,

RSP attributes the adherence to good

system practices as one of the key

elements in achieving the targets.

RSP highlights that design for the three gaps was mixed

and the estimated cement content was around 400 kg.

During trail mixes, the cement content was brought down

and maintained between 290-200 kg which resulted in

huge cost savings and was also a safe bet for the structure

as it involved mass concreting.

The site adheres to the ISO 9000 norms and has been

reviewed by various audit systems and certified with no

compliancy report. Though there were initial problems

during the sourcing of aggregates, the tested output

matched the specifications and the clients were convinced

and accorded approval to go ahead with the job. Regular

orientation programmes are conducted for new joinees and

importance is given to work methods and detailed briefing

is done before the execution of critical tasks.

Mr. V. V. Ramanamurty (VVRM),

Resident Engineer, views the completion

of foundation infrastructure within a

period of 3 months as the base for the

head-start of execution. VVRM says

that though there were some

apprehensions during the initial phase

as it was a first of its kind project for L&T, systematic

planning ensured smooth progress. As the daily concrete

pour was around 1000 cum, innovative methodology was

adopted to suit the on-site requirement. Dump trucks,

transit mixers and tower cranes were used in combination

to achieve the desired pour. First time 80 plus metal and

80 down concrete was used. VVRM highlights that as the

project is nearing completion, it has garnered a good image

for L&T and people from the nearby villages visit the site

to get a glimpse of dam that would transform the landscape

in the years to come. The project is now seen as a

benchmark in dam construction and the technical advisors

to the Government of Andhra Pradesh insist contractors to

follow and implement our methodology.

Mr. Muddamsetti Kondalarao (MKR),

Section Head – Mechanical and

Central Services, states the designing

of inundation bins, chilling units were

crucial for ensuring the standard of

concreting. Fabrication of the bins and

structural steel ice plant was totally taken

up at site. MKR asserts that is for the

first time in ECC that such huge capacity inundation bins

were fabricated. Due to the delay in land acquisitions there

was a 25 m gap between blocks 5 and 7, which was

hindering concreting activity. A conveyor was used over

the gap for concreting. MKR stresses that the whole

sequence of operations, from aggregate production to

concreting was mechanized thereby ensuring accuracy and

maximum output.

Mr. Subodh Kumar (ST), Safety

Coordinator, affirms that safety is a

continuous process which is covered in

all activities of the project. Daily pep talks

and frequent orientation programmes

ensure that safety issues are

communicated and awareness created

down the line across various departments. ST highlights

that a system of automated house keeping is done, where

before commencement of work, the workmen ensure

appropriate environment is maintained.

During the safety month, street plays, demos and films on

safety were screened as a part of the awareness campaign.

The site has achieved 1.5 million safe man hours till

December 2007. ST states that the key performance

indicator reviews the weekly performance and the overall

percentage achieved is around 89% which is a testimony to

the safe methods and practices adopted at site. He sites

some of the safe methods employed at sites such as three

lock work permit systems for rotating parts, cordless

communication system for tower cranes, and sensor alarm

in hydra cranes. Till date around 5000 workmen have been

inducted, trade wise training and training cards are given

to each workmen.

Dunga Tata Rao (DTR), Section In-charge, Dam Works,

is a 1991 graduate in civil engineering from V.R. Siddartha

College of Engineering Vishakapatanam. DTR started his

career with a class I contractor for Vizag Port Trust which

was followed by stints in Andhra Pradesh State Government

on contract basis, Crompton Greaves and Nagpur Alloy

Casting Ltd for a period of 3 years.

Having a valuable background in diverse projects, DTR

joined ECC in 1998 at RPL Jamnagar which was followed

by subsequent assignments in HPCL Vizag, MCL

VIWSCO.

Posted at Veligonda during November 2004, DTR was

deputed to Vemagiri Hydel Power Project due to the

stoppage of works. He was back in site during March

2005. He highlights that the initial period at Veligonda

was a tough one with soaring temperatures, non-availability

of potable water and scarcity of natural resources. During

mid July 2005, the excavated pit was completed filled with

water due to heavy rains. It was a Herculean task for

dewatering and removing the slush which took close to 25

days. During October 2005, the coffer dam got filled up

due to floods and situation assumed alarming proposition.

DTR views that phase as the most critical part of the

project as the waters threatened to enter the foundations,

with the help of the local contractors the project team was

able to overcome the problem.

DTR attributes that apart from his hobbies, he enjoys

spending time at site as it is a hub for continuous

improvement and learning. He sights that at AP 19 & 20

Bridges, coconut leaves were used as mats for the approach

of equipment over soft sand. Similarly at Veligonda a steel

ramp was fabricated to facilitate movement of machinery

to the top of the dam.

Married to Sakuntala, a home maker, DTR is blessed with

a son – D. Shanmukha Srinivas studying in the 6th

standard.

Ashish Kumar Goel (AG), a 1996 Diploma in Mechanical

Engineering from Uttar Pradesh joined ECC in May 2005

after successful stints with M/s Jai Prakash Industries, IMCC

JV – Delhi Metro. AG views the Delhi Metro assignment

as a crucial phase of his career where he worked with the

latest tunneling technology – New Austrian Tunnel Method,

used for the underground tunnel works which was done

without any blasting.

Veligonda Dam Project is AG’s maiden assignment in L&T

and he remarks “it is the first time I am involved from the

start of a project”. Since the requirement for concrete was

huge, the support machinery had to mobilized and erected

for achieving the output. Capital machinery, mostly new,

valued around Rs. 35 crore was sourced for the operations

The site has four new tower cranes, two 120 cum/hr

batching plants deployed for the first time in ECC, power

generators having an installed capacity of more than 6

MVA for electrifying the site. AG states that the site incurs

the highest internal hire charges in Hyderabad Region.

He highlights that in L&T “each activity is systematically

planned and executed thereby giving scope for maximum

output.” What he enjoys most in L&T is the responsibility

and freedom at work front.

Married to Babita, a post-graduate in economics, AG is

blessed with a daughter, Stuti, who is in LKG. AG is a

sports enthusiast and avid cricketer while Babita is adept at

managing the homefront.

Savouring New Technology, His Forte

client. The site was awarded the safety award by the

National Safety Council for achieving 4.8 million safe man-

hours. Another of the fond appreciation he cherishes is the

appreciation letter from the project director. In 2007 he

was posted to HYRO which was followed by assignments

at Jindal Dam and Veligonda.

MN views his Jindal assignment as a critical work as it

involved covering of earthen bunds before the onset of

monsoon. In a period of less than a month, he executed

around 60,000 cum of riffraff works mobilizing a workforce

close to 800 workmen. He proudly states that the site

bagged the quality trophy. At Veligonda, MN is in-charge

of the Formwork, which unlike the conventional method is

a tailor made system. MN highlights that the system done

at site was devised with pre-concrete and post-concrete

hand rails for ensuring utmost safety. The total shuttering

requirement at site is close to 2 lakh sqm.

Married to Bhuvana, a graduate in history and a homemaker,

MN has two children – Vishal and Veena studying in the

3rd

standard and LKG respectively. Apart from playing

cricket and listening to music, he associates with social

activities.

M. Natarajan (MN), a graduate engineer from Annamalai

University, Chidambaram, joined ECC in 2003 after

successful stints with M/s Geetanjali Construction, Mantek

Consultants, Alsthom. MN made his professional debut in

ECC at the Kaiga Atomic Power Project.

MN highlights that Kaiga was a special project where safety

and quality efforts of ECC was highly appreciated by the

Shaping Quality Formwork Systems

K. Venugoplan (KVG), a 1987 Diploma in Civil

Engineering from Government Polytechnic, Perinthilmanna,

Kerala, joined ECC in 2002 with a work experience of ten

years. His earlier stints were with M/s Asian Duct Ltd.,

Cochin, and Royal Government of Bhutan. During his

tenure outside ECC, KVG gained invaluable expertise in

tunneling, embankment and railway line works. He asserts

that these cores strengths were instrumental for getting an

opening in L&T.

KVG’s first assignment was the Varahi tail race hydel power

project where he executed the tunneling and tail pool works.

Subsequently after completion, he was posted at Veligonda

Dam Project where apart from his core activities –

excavation, embankment, KVG coordinates the client and

sub-contract billing. He says “we have adapted an unique

methodology in this project for concreting”. A combination

of different alternatives was used to achieve the end result.

Perhaps the biggest demand of this project, he says is “the

temperature maintained concrete”. All along referred to as

a tunnel specialist, KVG views this project as significant

milestone in his career and augurs that it would be a

stepping stone in handling assignments of greater

complexity thereby enriching his own domain and expertise.

In the near future, he envisions handling independent

projects in the hydro power sector.

Married to Bindu, a home maker who is a commerce

graduate, KVG has two daughters – Navya and Bhavya,

studying in the 5th

and kindergarten respectively. A native

of Kerala, VKG enjoys watching films, sports and spending

Aspiring to Lead from the Front

For Ashok Kumar Goswami (AKG), handling QA & QC

at site, ensuring quality is a continuous achievement in a

career spanning close to two decades. A 1990 Diploma in

Civil Engineering from PMP Polytechnic, Mathura, AKG

career stared his career with M/s Jai Mohan Construction

and moved on to IRCON International Ltd. It was with

IRCON that AKG was associated in the execution of Delhi-

Mathura Road Project, India’s first concrete road project.

AKG asserts that the invaluable experience gained during

execution was the base for getting into L&T.

AKG’s first assignment in L&T was the Surat-

Manor Expressway which was followed by posting at

Satara-Kholapur Road Project which was completed 8

months ahead of schedule. Temperature controlled

concreting and the use of slipform paver was done for the

first time at Surat-Manor Expressway. He highlights

that the paver was used during nights for the concreting

to achieve the required chillness. Having gained substantial

working knowledge on temperature controlled

concreting; AKG’s was the right choice for Veligonda Dam

Project.

AKG’s sees Veligonda Dam Project as a consistent challenge

since mass concreting had to be done at 150

C. The work

methodology insisted that temperature checks at every stage

– from the aggregate stage to the final pour. During summer

when the temperature soared around 500

C, achieving the

planned output was a Herculean task.

Married to Rekha, a M.A. B.Ed., and a home maker, AKG

has two children – Ankita and Vishal studying in the 5th

and 4th

standard respectively. Spending time with his family

and watching television, movies and sports are his prime

hobbies.

Mr. Amarnath Santh, Assistant Engineering Manager, EDRC B&F,

HQ, Chennai, was awarded the International Association for Bridge

and Structural Engineering (IABSE) award by The Indian National

Group of the IABSE at New Delhi on January 4, 2008 in recognition

of his paper entitled “Seismic Performance Evaluation of Reinforced

Concrete Bridges using Pushover Analysis” published in the Bridge

and Structural Engineering Journal Vol. 36, No.1, March 2006.

CAD System for Heavy Lift Operations

Mr. D. Satyanarayana Reddy, Senior Engineer, TPPC BU,

HQ Chennai, along with Mr. N. Srinivasan, JGM, Special

projects and Dr. Koshy Varghese, Professor, IIT Madras

co-authored and presented a paper entitled “A Computer-

Aided System for planning and 3D visualization of multiple

Heavy Lift Operations” at 24th

Annual Symposium of The

International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in

Construction (ISARC) 2007 held in Cochin during

September 19-21, 2007. Mr. K.V. Rangaswami, President

(Construction), L&T-ECC chaired the conference as

industry patron.

The paper illustrated the development of a computer aided

heavy lift planning system which can improve the

productivity and reliability of the multiple lifts planning

process in industrial construction projects. With the

introduction of heavy lift cranes, it is becoming more

common to reduce plant equipment fabrication costs by

fabricating larger portions of equipment at specialized off-

site fabrication shops. While the fabrication costs and efforts

are streamlined, more effort is required to plan and lift

these mammoth modules into place. The paper

demonstrated L&T’s capabilities and also won the best

paper award.

The International Symposium on Automation and Robotics

in Construction (ISARC) is a gathering of researchers,

academics and practitioners from all over the world,

interested in the use of information, computational and

robotic technologies for planning, managing and executing

construction projects.

show of colour and dance. Day two was the

most unique and unforgettable experience as

the group travelled to Coral Island by speed boat and

stopped over for para-gliding. It was a feeling of being at

the top of the world as one gets to glide high and also kiss

the waves due to the oscillating thrust given by the speed

boats. This was followed by the under sea walking. With

oxygen mask, the participants plunged down the shallow

floors of the sea and had a glimpse of the underworld flora

and fauna.

The post noon session included a visit to Nong Nooch

Village where a presentation of Thai culture through dance

and drama enthralled the participants. The highlight of the

show was the unique music and the stick dance. This was

followed by the elephant show which is a great attraction

navigational canals were cleared and in use; 75% of ponds

were cleaned, disinfected and tested; 25 existing pond filters

were cleaned and repaired and 150 sanitary latrines

constructed. UNICEF, CARE, SAVE THE CHILDREN,

MUSLIM AID-U.K. were some of the other international

NGOs which aided the relief operations. JNP states that

it was a unique opportunity for understanding the processes

in disaster relief operations and the role corporate sector

could play in maximizing the relief operations.

Ayudha Puja was celebrated at the Prayas Medical Centre

(PMC) on Friday, October 17, 2007. A team of PRAYAS

members performed the pooja. Pori and fruits were

distributed to all the patients and staff of PMC. Mrs.

Kanmani Jayavelu Babu made a special ‘Panagam’ and

distributed to all patients as a health drink.

* * *

The monthly Child Camp conducted by Dr. Jayakumar

Reddy from Child Trust Hospital was held on the third

Thursday during October, November and December 2007.

Apart from treating general health complaints of the

children, there was a good response to the vaccine

programme.

* * *

An advanced six-day-course on Yoga was conducted by

Mrs. Akshaya Babu Govindaraj. Many of our members

who are now regular in their practice of asanas and

pranayamam derived the additional pleasure and benefit

from this course. A refresher class is also conducted prior

to every month’s meeting.

Deepavali is the time of the year when we at PRAYAS

meet the inmates of various charitable institutions and do

our bit for our less fortunate brethren. PRAYAS presented

a water dispenser to provide purified drinking water for

the inmates at the Guild of Service. Ceiling fans were

presented to Harihara Sudha Seva Sadan. It was also an

occasion to show our gratitude to the staff at the Cenotaph

Road guest house for the service rendered during our

meetings. All the staff members were given dress material.

* * *

PRAYAS members celebrated Children’s Day, November

14, with the children at Guild of Service. As usual, the

children very enthusiastically welcomed us and enjoyed the

games conducted by us. The children in turn provided a

variety entertainment programme. They were thrilled with

the gifts that they all received. Mrs. Prema Hariharan

sponsored lunch for the children. It turned out to be a

memorable day for both the members of PRAYAS who

visited the Home and for the children.

A new endeavour undertaken by PRAYAS Trust, Chennai,

is to launch similar activities at all the Regional Office

centres of ECC. Towards this goal, Mrs. Akshaya Babu

Govindaraj, Mrs. Asha Kumar and Mr. Babu Govindaraj

had a meeting at Kolkata and made a presentation about

PRAYAS. The members of Shraddha, Kolkata, were

convinced about the advantages of merging with PRAYAS.

All the thirty six ladies who attended the meeting enrolled

themselves with the newly formed PRAYAS Trust, Kolkata.

Plans are being implemented to carry the same message to

all other centres of ECC. This is truly a momentous step

for the 11 year old PRAYAS Trust, as the whole ECC

family from all over India unites and joins hands in the

service to community.

* * *

PRAYAS members made time for spirituality combined with

fun-and-frolic, on a tour of the Pancha Dwaraka during

November 28-December 3, 2007. Traveling the vast

stretches of Rajasthan – Gujarat, it was a memorable trip.

Such trips away from home helps build trust, and make

the bond between members stronger, as one learns to

accommodate and adjust with each other.

The traditional New Year’s get-together of ECC was

held at HQ, Chennai on January 2, 2008. The function

began with the rendering of the L&T Anthem, followed

by the welcome address by Mr. K. Venkataraman (KV),

Senior Vice President & Head – Hydrocarbons & Power

Sector. KV reiterated AMN’s New Year Message “On

our 70th

year let us resolve to aim higher, reach further

and strive to add greater luster to our company’s

unending contribution to our country”. This was

followed by the presentation of Quality Rolling Trophies

to the winners from different regions/sectors.

Mr. K.V. Rangaswami, Member of the Board & President

(Construction), commenced his address with his New

Year wishes to L&T-ites and their families and

congratulated the winners of the Quality trophy.

KVR said that the year 2007, which marked

the 70th

year of L&T and also the birth

centenary of our founding father –

Mr. Henning Holck-Larsen, was an

eventful one. He shared the rich

compliments of political/business

leaders, who participated in HHL

Centenary celebrations at Mumbai on

December 21, 2007 and narrated their

admiration for the great role played by

L&T in building our Nation. He

highlighted that L&T scaled new

heights by touching a market

capitalisation of 1.2 trillion rupees and

ranked amongst the top 10 companies in

India in terms of market capitalisation. For

ECC, he said that it was remarkable year with its

revenues crossing the 10,000 Cr. mark and profit margins

touching a commendable level. He complimented the

various Sector and Business Unit Heads and the staff

for their commendable contribution to the performance

of the Division.

KVR forecast that the year 2008 would be more

promising for ECC and was confident of surpassing the

performance targets for the current financial year. He

expressed that India’s growth story is expected to

continue and a GDP growth rate of 10% by the year

2010 is quite possible. This will give fillip to the overall

demand for the construction

industry, especially with the huge

investments planned in the

infrastructure sector and the

emphasis on capital formation by

the Indian industry. This in turn

would give abundant opportunities

and prospects to our various

business units over next 8-10 years.

KVR said that the formation of

verticals was a crucial step forward

in leveraging the opportunities and

unlocking the values to sustain our

leadership in the market. He said

that the verticals will function as

KVR Forecasts Good Prospects, Welcomes 2008separate entities with end to end responsibilities and all

the service departments would be attached to each of

the verticals. Speaking on HR challenges, he said that

employee career development is a major area of focus of

the management and adequate measures are being

implemented to benefit staff at all levels. He highlighted

the introduction of a new performance metric i.e. Return

on Talent Employed (ROTE) which would enable to

monitor and improve the staff productivity in various

Business Units across the offices. He mentioned that

the Kohinoor 2010 initiatives have been implemented

at all pilot projects and are being institutionalised in all

sectors. He also reiterated the importance of business

process re-engineering and cost optimisation methods

to have a competitive edge.

KVR announced that the management’s initiative

on “Perspective Plan 2015” which highlights

the prospects and the potentials of future

businesses is expected to be completed

by April 2008. This would also be

helpful in reorganising, strategising and

conceptualising ourselves to adjust to

the evolving local and global market

dynamics and seize emerging market

opportunities.

In his response, Mr. K.G. Hariharan,

Senior Vice President & Head IP&U
