ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The six days long Industrial Training at Uralungal Labour Contract Cooperative
Society Ltd was an accretion of endeavour and landed lucrative on an academic front.

First of all I would like to extend my gratitude to the Uralungal Labour Contract
Cooperative Society Ltd authorities for having me there, to embark on a summer vacation industrial
training. It was beyond reservations, the best learning experience to be able to witness and learn
about various civil engineering works from the different works taken under consignment of the
Society.

I would like to thank Mr. Padmanabhan M, Director of the society,for his special
guidance and directives even during his busy times.

I would also like to express my gratitude towards other directors, Site In charge, leaders
of various sites for helping me during the period.

Last but none the least, note of gratitude to all the engineers and staff, who helped me
throughout the length of my training period, endowing me with their in-depth knowledge and
sharing with us their vast experience in the field of civil engineering and construction.

Gratefully ,

Mr. Anuraj

Internship Report

About The Work

We know that Kozhikode is a developing city. And as a part of improving the standards
the Kerala Government have proposed several projects including widening and developing the city
roads. Those projects include the following

1.

Stadium Junction - Puthiyara Junction (.644 Km)

2.

Karaparamba - Eranhipalam & Arayadathupalam Kalluthankadavu ( 4.526 Km)

3.

Vellimadukunnu Kovoor (2.735 km)

4.

Gandhi Road Mini Bypass & Kuniyilikavu Mavoor Road junction (3.435 Km)

5.

Mananchira Vellimadukunnu (8.212 Km)

6.

Panathuthazham CWRDM (8.459 Km)

7.

Pushpa Junction-Mankavu junction(2.452 Km)

8.

Mananchira-Meenchantha(DPR Corridor)(6.005 Km)

9.

CWRDMA Peringolam(DPR Corridor)(0.837 Km)

All these projects are funded by Kerala Road Fund Board -KRFB. And our site was
Stadium Puthiyara road. Before paving the widened road we have to provide sewage, drainages &
culverts at the correct positions. At that time it was the construction of sewage being carried out. So
we got a site experience of construction of sewages and at the same time we have gone through the
files of the whole project which have the alignment and details of the particular road section and the
drainages,sewages and culverts those are present in the section.

Internship Report

About The Work

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is an autonomous agency under
Government of India. They are undertaking the National Highways Development Project, a project
to upgrade, rehabilitate and widen major highways in India to a higher standard. Thondayad fly
over is one among the National Highways Development Project, Which once after the completion
will substitute the Thondayad signal junction in the Kozhikode bypass.
After the normal tender proceedings the work was handed over to Uralungal Labour
Contract Cooperative Society Ltd.

Obligatory piers and abutments are provided with 6 piles.

Obligatory pier has a span of 42 m. It supports the middle span of the flyover.

Design mix is used which is based upon IS method.

Type of pile

End bearing piles

Construction of Pile
The piles are constructed to carry vertical loads and thereby stabilize the structure. Here
we are using end bearing piles which is resting on the hard rocks beneath the soil. Direct Mud
Circulation Method or simply DMC piling method is used for construction of piles. DMC piling is a
typical wash bored piling method, ie. the piles are of Replacement type. For this type of piling
method, the sub soil must be of cohesive nature.

Field Procedure of DMC Piling

1.

For executing DMC piling method which is approved as per IS 2911 under specifications of
bored cast in situ piles. The positioning of points where the piles are proposed to set up, are
checked by the surveyor.

DMC Piling rig set-up and initiation of boring using the bailer

After the point for boring operation is set out by the surveyor the tripod is placed such that
each side legs are at least 1.5m away from the point, keeping the center of bore hole exactly
in the center.

The bailer is then attached with the rope and the boring operation is initiated.

After bailer reaches its full length into the soil, the guide casing is inserted into the hole for
further operations.

3.

Insertion of the guide casing

To prevent the side collapse and caving in, a guide casing is placed on the top the bore hole
and hammered by the bailer to insert it into the bailer.

Boring with chisel

Once the guide casing is placed, the boring is started with chisel.

The chisel has 4 nozzles from where the water jet is forced on the hard soil layer as the
boring progresses.

4.

Progression of boring and addition of DMC rods

DMC rods are added one after another as the depth increases.

The DMC head are attached on top of the DMC rods which has the plunge which receives
the water from delivery hose.

The whole system is pulled up by the rope and the D-shackle with the help of the winch
system and then left to fall free, so that the chisel at the bottom cuts the soil and the boring
progresses

The loose soil produced by boring, mixes with water and comes up and is stored in the wash
vat, where the soil gets precipitated and the water is again usable

5.

Taking out the DMC rods and Chisel and Insertion of the reinforcement cage

After boring is completed up to the desired depth, the DMC rods are removed one by one
using the DMC fork and the chisel is also removed.

Then the steel reinforcement cage is inserted and welded where ever there are joints

Concreting and finalization process

6.

The tremie pipes are inserted one by one using the Tremie fork and then the bore hole is
washed with the Bentonite water and the muck is completely removed and the hole is filed
with bentonite slurry.

The transit mixer arrives and the hopper is attached on top of the tremie pipe.

The TM puts concrete mix into the hopper and the valve opens. The bore hole is gradually
filled with concrete which is compacted by gradual vibration of tremie pipes. The filling of
concrete from the bottom is done to avoid segregation of the concrete mix

As the concrete fills the whole from bottom, Bentonite slurry escapes the hole. The tremie
pipes are detached one by one and thus the whole gets filled completely.

After the hole is fully filled, the concrete is left 28 days to gain full strength.

Removing the final tremie after the concreting was completed

DMC piling is the most common piling methods used in India. For moderate sized piles,
that is 450mm to 1000 mm diameter and 25m to 30m depth ; DMC is the most convenient and
economic way of piling.

Nallalam Dialysis Centre

Mr. Jithin Uday

Internship Report

About The Work

The construction of dialysis centre to treat and give the dialysis facility for free of cost
for patients having poor financial background was introduced by Beypore Mandalam Development
Mission Charitable Trust. The trust is a non profit organization and has a good track record in the
charitable fields.
The Uralungal Labour Contract Cooperative Society Ltd. have entered in the contract
for constructing the dialysis centre. The contract is given floor by floor, irrespective of giving the
entire building. And for the ground floor, once the work gets completed will become the basement
cum parking have presently been completed. The estimate for the basement was 18 Lakhs. Since its
was more than enough to construct the basement, the society decided to construct a rain water
harvesting tank and fire tank for the money remaining.Presently the work of rain water harvesting
tank is being carried out.
