Phase 1
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation, was
incorporated in 1995 with equal equity
partnership between Government of
India and Government of National
Capital Territory of Delhi. Phase 1 of
Delhi Metro has already earned the
credit of being a passenger friendly,
clean, safe and fast mode of transport
in the Capital region. Costing close
to Rs.105.7 billion, Phase 1 of Delhi
Metro primarily comprises of three
lines (I, II & III) that totals a length of
62.29km.
Line I runs between Shahdara
to Rithala covering a distance of
22.06km, with 18 stations and 18
trains available at a frequency of
4 minutes during peak time. Line II

Challenges
Alignment of tunnel in DIAL and
prevention of settlement
Delhi International Airport Limited
(DIAL) was apprehensive that the
underground tunnel may lead to
settlement and create problems
for the operation of planes on the
runway. It was also considered that
the airport operations may have to
be stopped during the construction
of tunnel by TBM. Through detailed
and continuous meetings it was
agreed that the final settlement will
be brought down to less than 5mm by
employing technical and engineering
solutions. 280 monitoring stations
were fixed in areas such as villages/
Taxiway/Apron and were continuously
monitored by deploying 12 staff.

Quality control
The QC team worked towards
ensuring proper quality standards

sand, aggregates, admixture, fly-ash
as well as the finished products i.e.

Future
In order to have close monitoring
on the demanding schedules and
desired quality, MSIL had deployed a
dedicated team from Japan. The high
level of quality, timely delivery and
close rapport with the MSIL team has
helped build a credible and strong
rapport with the client. By virtue of
such strong relationship management
and as a gesture of confidence, MSIL
has awarded another order for the
further expansion of plant to L&T
directly without any tendering. There
are further expansion projects in the
pipeline with MSIL which L&T hopes
to convert to orders.

Instrumentation System
At any oil well or refinery the
instrumentation systems forms the
nerve centre of the entire processing
cycle. All the processing and
production activities are controlled

Control room
and
monitored
through
the
instrumentation system. The accuracy
of these systems needs to be very high
and they have to be versatile enough
to provide uninterrupted support with
absolutely minimal or no down-time.
Since the instrumentation used at the
oil and gas refineries have to deal
with highly inflammable substance,
they come with very high standards
and world-class certifications that
permit them for use in such highly
hazardous environment.
At Barmer, instrumentation of
very high accuracy have been
imported, supplied, installed and
commissioned at the MPT terminal as
well as various well pad locations for
measurement, control and extraction
from the well pads and in separation
of crude to Oil, Gas and Water. All
the instruments required for the plant
have been imported from Europe/
USA with certifications for use in
highly explosive and hazardous
environment. The following are
the special instruments provided at
various locations of the project:

A strong telecommunication system
is most essential for the smooth
flow of data, communication and

for
data, voice communication, security

Construction Methodology
Heat tracing a method where the viscosity of the crude
oil is maintained at low levels in order to facilitate
the flow of the liquid through the pipeline. Unlike the
conventional method of heat tracing by wrapping
heating coils over the pipe, Cairn India has introduced
a more energy efficient solution, from M/s. TYCO
Thermals, called Skin Effect Heat Management System
(SEHMS). This new technology provides uniform heating
by using eddy current losses
In this technology an electrically insulated conductor
is installed inside the heat tube and connected to the
tube-end at the designed distance. The conductor and
the tube are connected in series to AC voltage. The
return path of the circuit current is pulled to the inner
surface of heat tube by skin effect and with the proximity
effect between the heat tube and the conductor. The
outer surface of the tube remains grounded. This
arrangement constructs the restive impedance circuit,
which generates heat in the heat tube walls and
additional heat is also generated due to eddy current
flow through the insulated conductor.

The primary and most critical
challenge at the Barmer site is
Unprecedented
engineering
changes witnessed an enormous
increase in the scope of work
just after a few months of
commencement. This change had
increased major quantities way
beyond the initial projections. For
instance, cable laying executed at
site alone increased between 80%
to 200%(from 1200 km to 2600
km).
The non-availability of both
skilled and un-skilled workforce
also posed a great challenge.
In order to achieve the project
completion target, an average of
more than 1300 workmen were
mobilized during the peak period.
Though this was a tough task,
Innovation
with
mechanical
mounting
arrangement using beam and
pitch clamps. Cable laying being
the most critical activity in the
entire project, meticulous route
planning was studied and an
alternate route was suggested in
order to make faster and effective
progress. In order to achieve
the target, a totally different
organization structure was placed
at the site to monitor the rapid
progress of cable laying.

Sustainability
The mining industry has been
an area of concern for the
environmentalists because of
the potential harm the mining
activities causes to the surrounding
environ and bio-diversity in the
mining and the processing areas.
But on the contrary, when one
visits Rajpura Dariba, the mining
town presents a picture of sheer
delight and one will change
his/her perception towards mining
companies.
Rajpura
Dariba
presents a surprisingly pleasant
picture of a dust-free and green

students from CSTI Manapakkam joined hands with Habitat for Humanity and WEEDS
