Project Engineer
Client:- Kolkata Municipality Corporation (KMC) for all three projects

Involvement:-
Supervision, quality control, recording measurements of works.
Preparation of IPC, variation reports etc.
Checking deficiencies in working drawing correcting same.
Facilitating redesign of structural members wherever necessary.
To review of contractors detailed works programme, Monitoring
progress and checking resources deployed against of works
programme, documentation as per ISO-9000

1.Construction of RCC Deck Slab supported on RCC MS line bored pile, beam
including pavement for Hooghly River front Development work of KMC from Baja
Kadamtala Ghat upto Fairlie Ferry Ghat at Kolkata. Project Cost = 25.34 Cr.
2. Development of Rabindranath Tagores Memorial Garden including repairing &
renovation of existing double storied building (Red House) at Nimtala Burning Ghat
of K.M.C. in Kolkata. Project Cost = 2.32 Cr.
3. Expansion of the Nimtala Burning Ghat in Kolkata, Project Cost = 13.66 Cr.
1) Hooghly River front Development work
Original area of project could not be handed over to working agency due to lack
of clearance from Ministry of Defence. So project was relocated to Armenium
Jetty to Millenium park. Since that area was a jetty during British period lots of
debris like wood, iron pieces encountered during piling work. So many places it
became impossible to carry piling work

Work Challenges
2) Development of Rabindranath Tagores Memorial Garden
a) The working platform was low. Piling work disrupted due to tidal water fluctuation
around full moon days and new moon days. And contractors claim was working
platform was well above highest water level indicated in tender drawing.

b) Superstructure was ISMB 500s to be bolted on pile cap which was round in
shape and exact same diameter of pile. ISMB 450 and ISMB 300 were to be
bolted to ISMB 500. It was not possible to fix ISMB 500 parallel to each other as
piles shifted.

3) Expansion of the Nimtala Burning Ghat in Kolkata
Land was not free as many religious structures were to be shifted
Sheet piling upto 24 meter was necessary as construction of basement was to be
underwater. But progress was slow/not satisfactory as working agency was
driving sheet piles manually

Work Challenges
Improvements Suggested / Implemented
1) Hooghly River front Development work
After several site visits by higher officials of KMC, RITES and discussions
design was modified. Pile points sifted, where piles could not reach to desired
depth additional piles introduced. Some places ISMB sections used in
superstructure.
Improvements Suggested / Implemented
2) Development of Rabindranath Tagores Memorial Garden
a) Working agency agreed to stop work during high tide rainy season and start work
in winter where tide is low. The work was executed in planned manner with help
of tide table.
b) Pile cap was modified to bigger rectangular shape.
3) Expansion of the Nimtala Burning Ghat in Kolkata

Land was cleared by co-operation from local people
Vibro-shinker used to speed up sheet piling work

So far my six years stint with the RITES has been quite
satisfying and enriching in terms of the breadth of the
knowledge and experience I have gained while working on
various challenging projects in diverse geographical
conditions.
I got a wide exposure which has also provided me the
necessary depth and the confidence to be able to hold my
own against the very best.
I enjoyed the challenges such as coordination with various
stake holders and performed my duties to the best possible
manner in the interest of the projects.

Working with RITES
While working on various projects I enhanced my Project
management Skills required in the atmosphere that is
intensively competitive, I have always maintained a
consistent performance in the projects I have been sent or
assigned.
One of my strongest points is my sincerity and strong
commitment towards the work which motivates me to take
initiatives in challenging situations.
I am sure with the varied experience and learning that I have
gained in such a short period will take me a long way in
RITES.
