Heavy investments in equipment and logistic resources coupled with computerisation and adoption of modern management concepts has placed IVC in the ranks of international specialist companies of repute. IVCC operates in four major divisions.The contracting division provides a broad range of specialised services. The workshop and logistics division works in intimate association with the contracting division. The turnkey projects and consultancy division works in collaboration with associates.

Properly pianned and executed site Investigations ensure sound structures and affect savings which are, many times greater than what is spent on the investigation. IVC has carried out over a million meters of specialised core, non-core and percussion driling, with related in-situ and laboratory tests, for numerous civil engineering projects. VCC has buitt up a team of dedicated professionals using sophisticated modem equipment and a wealh of experience unequalled in Pakistan. From the mighty Tarbela Dam to the majestic Mangla, from Gilgit, on the fabled Karakoram Highway, to the rugged Mekran coastline, trom other remote sites in the Himalayas to Innospitable locations in the desert, there is no structure of importance with which IVCC was not associated in the investigation phase. While large projects are challenging, no job is too small fer us. We nave investigates sites for factory anc residential builcings, shopping centres, office complexes, roads, bridges, marine and hydraulic structures, dams, transmission lines, tunnels, mineral deposits, quarries and borrow pits. While the bulk of jobs are onshore we have executed some challenging jobs offshore to the surprise but complete satisfaction of gratified ctients. 3 Explorers cavern fn eft ar ponpaced Gemal Zam Darn, Tobe area 4 Insesiganons for proposed Bite Bram om Riser Tabs re Riretonoat1 Explersion ee ‘onl Letra Sith 2 Faploriom dilime mineral exploration Mineral exploration involves the extensive use of sophisticated modern wireline core Griling equipment capable of dilling to great Gepihs, IVCG holds an unrivatled position in this field, Our wireline core driling rigs are capable of drilling deeper and quicker than conventional rigs and giving higher core recovery percentages. IVCC has dfilled for minerals to depths of 500 meters-and has the capability to aril to 2000 meters. ‘Specialised techniques such as “air flush have been used, in Pakistan VCC has carried out exploration for imestone, shale, gypsum, bauxite, marble, salt, coal, and copper.tubewells IVCC employs the latest methods and modern equipment needed to install an efficient tubewell. Different locations call for different driling techniques. In submountain areas, using heavy percussion rigs, holes are telescoped inside ‘strings’ of steel casings in diameters of upto 96 inches. In alluvial soils, the quickest method is the use of reverse circulation rigs. Other locations may dictate the use of straight rotary, or rotary percussive air drilling techniques. INC also tabricates the required water well fitings. Many hundreds of IVCC installed waterwells can be seen throughout Pakistan. They include muricipal, agricultural and industrial water supply wells upto capacities of 130,000 gallons per hour. NCC has participated in the Salinity Control and Reclamation Projects (SCARP) to combat water logging and satinity in the NWFP and Punjab provinces ot Pakistan. The Katur Dheri SCARP and Bannu SCARP in NWFP were particularly difficult projects where heavy percussion rigs were employed.

The resulting ‘gunite’ has physical properties far superior to regular concrete. Modern technology now makes possible the pneumatic application of even large aggregate mixes to praduce what is called spray concrete or 'shotcrete’Because of the special appiication techniques, gunite has specifications which are far superior to ordinary poured concrete. Some of the important specifications of unite are: Low water coment ratio High compressive strength Excellent bond strength High density, light weight Low coefficient of expansion Fire resistant Corrosion resistant Resistant to abrasion Economical Being extremely versatile, gunite has variod application possibilities and on some occasions is the only reliable construction method. As a specialist process, guniting is carried out by trained engineers and experienced operators. IVC has been using gunite in Pakistan for many years on contracts ranging from rehabilitation of an aquaduct running under the heart of the historical city of Peshawar, the Lining of chimney stacks of power stations, support for tunnels, structural reinforcement of buildings, and architectural enhancements. | ka 4 Scart telstory ha “mre wth1 Growing a dial grouting Grouting Is the injection under pressure of suspensions, emulsions and solutions to improve the geotechnical characteristics of soils and rocks and to facilitate the filing of voids ‘or structural purposes.

As a pioneer of the drilling industry in Pakistan, IVCC soon became the only company regularised by the Government of Pakistan as an industrial unit. It was the first Pakistani drilling company to succeed in ‘open intemational competition against foraign firms with greater financial and technical resources. Starting from its first modest drilling contract, IVCC within a span of five years had established an enviable reputation in the drilling industry of Pakistan. The early sixties saw the execution of the indus 8asin Replacement Projects in Pakistan. it had drilling assignments in every one of its major components. At Mangla and Tarbela Dams, IVCC carried out large volumes of Grilling, site investigation, soil mechanics tests, grouting and ottier specialist works. ‘The seventies were years of consolidation and saw the induction of a new generation of the founding family into the business. The first international contract was obtained. At home the company was firmly established a> an innovative organisation committed to providing the very latest in equipment and know howto its continuously expanding list of clients. The eightles have seen IVCC moving into other specialised fields and iransforming its~ self from a drilling company into a specialist civil engineoring company. Heavy investments in equipment and logistic resources coupled with computerisation and adoption of modern management conceps has placed IVC in the ranks of international specialist companies of repute. The family's third generation, educated and trained in the USA, is with |VCC and the ‘company looks forward to the future with enthusiasm and configence.technical association To acquire a firm technical base and technology, INCC was associated in its, formative years with Messors Geostrazivanja of Yugoslavia and Messers Cralieus A.B. 0! Sweden. Later, it entered into @ long association of about ten years with the Cementation Company Ltd, of UK. In 1974 Cementation Company wound up business in Pakistan and transferred most of its equipment and staif to VCC. ‘Over the years, the company has executed many contracts in technical and/or financial collaboration/suib-cantractor with renowned international companies. It has standing arrangements for collaboration or joint ventures whenever required and is the spacialist sub-contractor of choice with many general contractors. IVOC's experience of working with American, British, Bulgarian, Canadian, Chinese, Czechoslovakian, French, German, talian, Iranian, Japanese, Korean, Russian , Yugoslavian, and Pakistani consultants and contractors has given it professional insight into the latest lernational technology and familiarity with the various international standards, codes of practice and specifications, In Pakistan IVC is registered as a Class “At (No Limit) contractor with all the important government agencies and others for all types of civi engineering works: It is also on the approved panel of consultants maintained by the Engineer-in-Chie's branch of the Pakistan Army and is registered with the Pakistan Engineering Council for engineering works Internationally, IVCC has executed contracts in Nigeria and Iraq.

After a distinguished career, he retired from the Pakistan Army, However his irrepressible desire for making the mest of his life new opened new and challenging avenues tor him. He became a censullant in logistios and Resident Manager, Pakistan, for the Hunt international Petroleum Company which was prospecting for oil in Pakistan in the early files, His ardent love for mountaineering led him to join the 1953 American Expedition to K-2, the socond highest mountain in the world.
