A construction project including industrial projects involves five important steps: initiation, planning, implementation, performance and monitoring, Commissioning and handing over.
Industrial Projects includes power plants, steel plants, fertilizer plants, petrochemical and refineries, cement plants, aluminium plants etc.
Major structures of Cement plant, industrial projects construction are as follows.
- Captive Power Plant.
- Raw Material Handling system.
- Storage Silo.
- Clinker Plant.
- Grinding Plant.
- Roaster Plant.
- Bagging Plant.
General Construction Methodology:
- In all the above industrial sectors, piling may be necessary according to the soil condition.
- The projects are involved with mass concreting (RCC) and the huge involvement of structural steelworks.
- Precision and precaution both are required during concreting of different equipment foundations, and in case of any discrepancy between civil & mechanical drawing, it is preferable to follow the mechanical drawing to match with the layout & direction of the equipment which will be installed on the foundation.
- Also, safety is one of the areas of concern, for which special care is required to be taken as in most of the industrial structures work is executed at high elevation (For example, in a Thermal Power Plant, the height of Chimney is 220 meters, the height of Boiler is 80 meters, the height of Bunker is 60 meters etc.)
- A lot of finishing activity is also involved like flooring, painting, sheeting, cladding, false ceiling, aluminium etc. after the structure is completed.
