Dear Readers,

In the upcoming years we are going to focus on value add business for complex and multi-storey buildings for A class Indian companies and Multi-National companies. There seems to be a lot of influx of FDI in new companies primarily in sectors like FMCG, Automotive, Warehousing & Logistics, where we see good potential for Pre-Engineered Buildings.

We are going to concentrate on high value clients this year. Our past year experience in high-rise buildings and process buildings are going to lead us to more clients who will be users of these highly complex steel structure. With the implementation of GST in the coming months in India, we feel that there is going to be huge demand for Pre-Engineered Buildings and Structural Steel systems in India in the next 3 years in India.

Thanks & Regards,
Arvind Nanda & Gautam Suri

High Growth Industry in the year 2016
   
Power Sector in India
Power is one of the most critical components of infrastructure crucial for the economic growth and welfare of nations. The Planning Commission’s 12th Five-Year Plan estimates total domestic energy production to reach 669.6 million tons of oil equivalent (MTOE) by 2016–17 and 844 MTOE by 2021–22. As of November 2015, total thermal installed capacity stood at 196.2 Gigawatt (GW), while hydro and renewable energy installed capacity totaled 42.6 GW and 37.4 GW, respectively. At 5.8 GW, nuclear energy capacity remained broadly constant compared with the previous year The Indian power sector has an investment potential of Rs 15 trillion (US$ 237 billion) in the next 4–5 years
Pharmaceutical Sector in India
The Indian pharmaceuticals market is the third largest in terms of volume and thirteenth largest in terms of value, as per the report by Equity Master. India is the largest provider of generic drugs globally with the Indian generics accounting for 20 per cent of global exports in terms of volume. The Indian pharma industry, which is expected to grow over 15 per cent per annum between 2015 and 2020, will outperform the global pharma industry, which is set to grow at an annual rate of 5 per cent between the same periods. The market is expected to grow to US$ 55 billion by 2020, thereby emerging as the sixth largest pharmaceutical market globally by absolute size

Ar. Anil Hinge, Rass Project Consultants Pvt. Ltd.
According to Mr. Hinge, Pre-Engineered buildings designed & engineered with American & European Standards and codes consumes less steel than the designs done as per Indian Standards He feels there may be demand of metal structure for multistory buildings for residential use, infrastructure works like bridges, airports and Malls etc. in time to come in India. The multinational (European) countries are more conscious than Indian about the green features of a building and we should also work on the same line. There is a perception shift for green buildings as now days, we see many multinational companies investing and setting their plants in India.

Mr. Manish Shah is associated with the organization as a Director from last 22 years. He is holding Master’s Degree in Structural Engineering from Delhi College of Engineering. On comparison of Indian Pre Engineered building with Global countries he thinks that Indian Pre Engineered Buildings companies needs to give more focus on Elevation design features, and emphasis on Project management capabilities. New requirements for smart cities, provision of solar panels and green energy would also be in vogue. Multistorey Buildings, Green Buildings and Light Structures would be focus areas for new type of metal buildings coming in India

Snapshot of year 2016 in Project Management Tip
   
Correct procedure for building erection
 
Column Erection
Column is arranged  with all fixtures & painting duly completed
Lifting sling is fixed to the column at exact position of lift
Guy ropes are fixed to the column before lifting
Lifting equipment lifts the structural column vertically and is positioned in the Pedestal
Braced Column Erection
Same Procedure is followed for lifting the second column
The portal beam is the primary tying member between the two columns. It is lifted using Crane and boom lift used for bolting the portal beam
The eave strut is immediately erected after the erection of second Column
Proper Erection of Rafters
   
Assembly of Rafter Segments
The segments of rafter are shifted from stacking yard to the required position of erection.
With the help of Erection part mark drawing the rafter Segments are assembled on the ground
The high tensile bolts are used for connecting the segments of the rafter. The quality manager at site ensures that specified torque and its limits are used by the erection team as per torque table issued by the Designer
Erection of Rafter
The position of lift of the rafter is also designed by studying the bending moment diagram of the assembled rafter.  
The crane load carrying capacity during the lift of rafter is studied and higher load carrying capacity cranes are used for erection of rafter
Safety in roof & wall system installation
   
Safe access must be provided to the roof always
The most common method used for accessing the roof is by using scaffold which is specifically installed for this purpose or by MEWP
Before installing the Tracdek roof sheet, safety net should be installed properly
Full body safety harnesses should have adequate anchorage points / lifelines and ensure they are properly used through appropriate discipline, training and supervision
Do not allow more than 3 workers latch to a single lifeline
The Tracdek Roof sheet must be lifted onto the roof by crane or manually by workers
The spreader beam must be used for lifting the Tracdek roof sheets by crane
Quality & Safety aspects during Erection
   
Quality check Points before Rafter erection
Check bolts sizes and part marks of rafter assembly
Check Bolt tightening as per procedure
Diagonal bolt tightening
Initially snug tightening of bolts
Final tightening by torque wrench as per defined torque value
In case of Turn of nut tightening, HO-QC approval to be taken
