Bhupendra A. Sankhe AGM (Mech Design) Hindustan Dorr-Oliver Limited

Project: Uranium Ore Processing Package UCTL-2, Uranium Corporation of India Ltd.,Tummalapalle, Kadapa, APCategory:Cost Saving Sector: Other Infrastructure

T he design of the building; Chemical House was done in a special way. As per clientrequirement, this building was to have four bays. Each bay width was to be 24 m. Thatmeant that the total bay width would be 96 m. The length of the bay was 150m.

While detail designing, the building size was optimized by reducing one bay to 15m width. Thishelped to save space in the plot. That saved cost of the project.

The Roof monitors for chemical house were replaced with gravent design for exhaust system.This resulted in cost saving.

For the Carbonate & Bi-carbonate handling system in the project as per the scheme proposedby the Client, the requirement was to have the conveying facility with bag slitting machine. Thescheme was redesigned with 1 tonne bag handling. The conveying system was removed whichsaved cost.

Adinarayan Rao Asst Vice President, BGR Energy System, Chennai

Project:Natural Draft Cooling Tower Construction 2 x 600 MW Kalisindh Thermal Power Project,Kalisindh, RajCategory: Innovation - Sector: Other Infrastructure

T hese cooling towers are the tallest cooling towers in the world measuring a height of 202m, beating the existing record of 200 m. There are two identical cooling towers. While onetower is complete in all respects, the second one is 75% complete.

The cooling tower had to be designed to a height of 202 m, with a top diameter of 90 m. Initially,it was thought to complete the construction by the traditional method of providing one towercrane at the center of cooling tower. But as the construction picked up, this was provinginadequate, considering the quantum of concreting involved at higher elevations.

It was decided to have mechanization of construction as an alternative, for transportation of men,material and concreting. It was decided to have hydraulic bridges placed inside the coolingtower for transportation of men, material and concreting, in addition to the tower crane normallyused for construction. The hydraulic bridges have not been used by any other agency in India.This approach also saved time.

B J KostiSr Manger Technical Oreva Energy Pvt Ltd, Ahmedabad

Project:Karjan Small Hydro Power Scheme 2 x 1.5 MW, Rajpipla, GujaratCategory: Innovation - Sector: Power Infrastructure

T he project confronted a special geological aspect. The completePower House was planned to be built on filled up soil. Hence thesettlement was a possibility and design had to be innovative to takecare of this parameter.

The ground level was 52 m, the canal bed level was 75 m and turbinecentre line was at 71.6 m. To overcome these locations parameters,special design was to be done. The ground level for the two turbineunits was quite different, but, for the operational facility, the centreline of the two turbines was kept at the same level. Due to geologicalconditions, it was difficult to provide the foundation raft for both theturbine units.

An innovative design was adopted. A special construction joint was designed to take care of thissituation and to avoid the different settlement, to the power House.
