L&Ts capabilities from the very beginning of its

inception are aligned to serve the national interest
and countrys development. This has earned the
Company the axiom Builders to the Nation
and in-tune with this adage, L&T is continuing its
quest of contributing its best to the industrial and
infrastructural development of the country.
L&T has made a significant contribution to the
development of Indias transportation sector,
be it the hi-tech highways, bridges, tunnels,
viaducts, ports, airports and railways. In
all these projects, L&T has taken the lead
by introducing pioneering construction
techniques, resulting in execution of projects
with innovation, high quality and speed.
L&T has been associated with Delhi Metro
Rail Corporation (DMRC) for more than a
decade and has executed some of the most
critical projects under Phase I and Phase II
of Delhi Metro covering both elevated and
underground metro rail corridors including
station buildings. The good work carried
out by DMRC in Delhi is now extended to
other metros and L&T is actively involved in
Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad cities.
In this issue of ECC Concord, we bring to you
our success story in building Phase - II projects
under Delhi Metro where L&T was involved in
five packages. Apart from this, the issue also
delineates the expansion project at Marutis
Manesar facility, Cairn Indias Barmer project
and Hindustan Zinc project at Rajpura Dariba
mine. The kaleidoscope section, as usual,
presents a colorful array of important events
that occurred during the third quarter of the
current fiscal.
Hope, you will find these articles interesting along
with many other kaleidoscope items.
Happy reading.

Metro - Delhis traffic and pollution solution

The exploding population of
Delhi and the resultant traffic
snarls on road comes as no big
surprise. But what can be truly
astonishing is the fact that the
number of vehicles on the roads
of Delhi is more than that of the
three other major Indian metros
put together. The Government,
in order to mitigate this
problem, aimed at discouraging
private mode of transport and
encouraging public mode through
the introduction of quality rail
based MRTS or the Mass Rapid
Transit
System.
Developed
countries include such systems
in their city planning even when
the population touches 1 million.
This is done so that the city can
handle the burden of population

and yet allow for free flow of
traffic in a planned and phased
manner.
The city administration of Delhi has
to deal with a growing population
of 16 million, a figure that very
few cities in the world face today.
But on the positive side, Delhi
has offered itself for upgrading
to the MRTS by having wide
roads (that form 23% of the
city) with excellent connectivity.
Another attribute that favoured
faster implementation of MRTS
at Delhi is that majority of land
are Government owned and
consequently
lesser
worries
regarding acquisition of private
land.
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

The first underground section between
Vishwavidyalaya and Kashmere Gate
was inaugurated in 2004 and the
Kashmere Gate Central Secretariat
was completed in 2005. The benefits
of Phase I project include 1.5 million
commuter trips per day siphoned off
the roads with 1,650 less buses on
the roads; Increase in average speed
of road buses from 10.5 km/h to

14 km/h; Saving of 2 million manhours per day and the fuel cost of
approximately Rs.650 crores per
year; Reduction in pollution (30%)
and accidents (30%).

DMRC Phase II
If one were to look at the Metro
map of Delhi, it would present a
vibrant picture with colourful lines
intersecting the populous city. Each
metro line is represented by colours
such as red, yellow, blue, green,

and violet. This colour coding has
made it elementary and simple for
commuters to identify the network
and travel with ease. As of October
2010, the whole of Phase-I and
parts of Phase-II are complete, with
the network comprising five lines
with 130 metro stations and a total
length of 156 km.

and bureaucrats, diverting traffic

for construction posed a great
challenge and all activities had
to be planned in such a manner

that construction caused minimal
possible hindrance to these
VVIPs.
The underground station and the
tunnel were to be located below
the road. The width of the station
varies from 12 m to 26 m and the
depth was 16 m. The station design
consisted of Base Slab at 16 m
depth which were to be used for
track work, platform at 13 m and
equipment at concourse level at 9
m depth for passenger ticketing
and rooms for functioning of
station; and at the top is the roof
slab at 2 m depth. Once the roof
slab is completed, back filling
needs to be done after which the
roads need to be laid.
During peak period labour
strength was at 1200 with staff
strength at 34. Both the labour

The construction of Underground

Station and Tunnel at Green Park
was also a mission critical task
due to presence of enormous
utilities and heavy traffic on the
arterial Aurobindo Marg. The
Underground Station and Tunnel
was to be constructed just below
the surface of the road. The width
of the station was 20 m and depth
of station below Ground Level at
16 m. The station consisted of
Base Slab at 16 m Depth which is
to be used for track work, platform
at 13 m depth for passengers
boarding the train and equipment
rooms for working of Station,
Concourse Level at 9 m depth for
Passenger Ticketing and Rooms
for functioning of Station; and at
top is the roof slab at 4 m depth.
Above roof Slab backfilling was
done and then restoration of road

was done.
Traffic survey conducted before
commencement of construction
indicated that traffic density
Passenger Car Units (PCU)
at this stretch was already
more than 1 (i.e. the existing
road width was insufficient for
carrying traffic). The maximum
road width available was 42
m and minimum was 35 m
width. Out of this, construction
activities would occupy 25 m
leaving only 10 to 17 m for
vehicular traffic. Top down
Construction
methodology
was adopted for Station and
Bottom up methodology for the
tunnels.
At peak period this package
had a labour strength of 2000
labours and staff strength at 60

yy
Land Acquisition was a major

challenge in the beginning as
the Malviya Nagar station was
situated on DDA land having
legal cases pending since 1982
yy
The central part of 180 m long

stretch out of 300 m length
was of rocky strata (from -10
m depth) so it was not possible
to execute Diaphragm Wall.
It was sought to re-design
the station using bored piles
with embedment of 1 m in the
rock and soil anchors to retain
the soil while proceeding for
excavation
yy
Executing
diaphragm
wall
needed operation of hydraulic
rigs with a swing radius of 9
m. This operation was partly
blocking the gate of Laxman
public school. Inconvenience

was avoided by establishing
a time frame to work on the
diaphragm wall only after the
school hours
yy
Hauz Khas Station encountered

major utilities on the southern
part of the ring road such as

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.
Through such proactive measures the
Electrical panels at an underground station
airport operation was not hampered

even for a single day during the
construction of the tunnel.
Cross Passages

Bored
Construction of cross passages

in between bored tunnel is done
as per NFPA guidelines for fire
escape. This is done at intermediate
distances of 250 m from tunnel /
station. The cross passage was
completed quickly and efficiently
through monitoring of works and
by adapting the methodology of

NATM.
Miscellaneous services at Arrival
Shaft
Services like water pipeline, Sewer line,
Electrical line were encountered during
construction of Arrival Shaft near IGI
Airport which affected the completion
of Shaft by 2 months. Continuous
interaction with concerned authorities/
agencies resulted in the shifting of
utilities. Unique techniques such
as trenchless boring methods were
adopted to enable the continuous flow
of vehicular traffic above the restricted
working area.

Challenges
faced
Brownfield Operation
One of the major challenges faced

was that the project site was located
adjacent to the existing plant that
was operational. Hence construction
activities had to planned in such
Structural works in progress
31
a manner that it did not disrupt

or inconvenience the day-to-day
operation of the existing unit.
Another aspect of concern was that
the soil condition was silty where
excavations upto a depth of 7 meters
(for construction of press pit) posed a
major challenge. This challenge was
mitigated after several discussions
with the client and it was decided to
adapt the methodology of steep cut
with shoring.
Another crucial challenge in terms
of delivery was that MSIL required
demanding interim milestones viz.
handing over of fifty percent area
of paint shop by the middle of
December 2010 and KD shop phase
II by November 2010. In order to
achieve such demanding targets
extra manpower and resources were
planned in advance and mobilized.
Safety
In order to emphasize the importance
of safety, all new employees getting
Work in progress at the KD shop
on-board the MSIL project site, be

it staff or labourer, were made to
attend a Safety Induction training
programme on the very first day of
joining. Safety meetings were held
on a daily basis headed by the
Safety incharge and a representative
Workers cleaning the floor after completion of building
32
from each site to discuss safety lag,

if any, at a particular site or any
other safety concerns which can
prove hazardous to the workforce.
The basic aim of such meetings was
to proceed towards an objective of
zero accident. To a large extent these
Aerial view of construction activities
measures were effective in resolving

numerous safety issues. By ensuring
safety awareness, the project site was
able to achieve 2.82 safe million
hours as on December 2nd 2010.
MSIL site has also been awarded the
Bi-annual EHS Rolling Trophy for the
period April10 to September10.
Another view of the structure
Quality control
The QC team worked towards
ensuring proper quality standards
of the raw materials such as cement,
sand, aggregates, admixture, fly-ash
as well as the finished products i.e.
concrete and fabricated steel. The
quality laboratory was well equipped

with scientific instruments calibrated
to conform to Indian Standards and
to test the materials at the required
testing frequencies.
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.

Burning the midnight oil at Barmer

The Underbelly of the Thar Desert
in Rajasthan, India, has been found
to contain millions of tonnes of oil
and natural gas. It is only a matter
of time before this inhospitable and
arid desert region would evolve to
become a booming economy with
many leading companies queuing
up to establish their energy projects.
Apart from oil and gas, the Thar
desert is also fast becoming a hotspot for lignite coal and coal bed
methane. Another striking feature
is that this landscape is considered
most ideal for establishing large
tracts of solar and wind energy
fields for tapping green power.
Exploration for oil and gas in the
western Rajasthan region began right
Plant cable tray & lighting

well, N-B-1, in block RJ-ON-90/1 in
northern Rajasthan. Cairn Energy has
till date has made 25 discoveries with
Mangala being the largest of all.
Cairn India, the operator of the
Rajasthan block, holds a 70 percent
participating interest with ONGC,
its joint venture partner, holding
the balance 30 percent. This JV has
already invested approximately USD
2 billion in the Rajasthan project
and has plans to invest a further
USD 1.8 billion by 2011, making it
one of the largest onshore oil and
gas projects in the country.
Rajasthan oil fields are considered

one of the largest oil discoveries
in India in more than 20 years.
Located at Barmer in North
Rajasthan, the Barmer basin
has a production capacity of
approximately 0.18Million Barrels
of Crude Oil Per Day (BOPD)
in peak period. The Mangala,
Bhagyam
and
Aishwariya
(collectively known as MBA) fields
once on peak plateau production
of 175,000 BOPD, will contribute
to more than 20 percent of Indias
domestic crude production. The
Mangala Processing Terminal
(MPT) will act as the hub for
processing crude oil from all the
Rajasthan fields.
Mangala Process Terminal - Overview
Having explored the availability

of Oil, Cairn was challenged
with the task of partnering with
a strong EPC contractor who can
enthusiastically work in the inclement
desert conditions of Thar, mobilise
thousands of workmen and procure
massive machinery necessary to carry
out the operations smoothly. Given
its impressive track record, L&Ts

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

The Worlds longest-of-its-kind, Barmer - Salaya Pipeline Project

Cairn India has commissioned the worlds longest
heated insulated pipeline project that carries crude oil
from Barmer in Rajasthan to Salaya located at Gujarat.
This crude oil pipeline that measures over 600 km
has earned the credit of being the longest of its kind
pipeline in the world over similar such pipeline projects
in Russia and Indonesia.
The unique feature of this pipeline is that the entire
pipeline is designed to carry crude oil at temperatures
above 65 degree C for reduced viscosity and free flow.
In order to maintain temperatures across the length
of the pipe, 1 MW gas engine generators have been
installed at approximately every 18 kilometers.
Location
The BSPL pipeline, the associated 29 heating stations
and the 3 terminals are passing through one of the
countrys toughest and rugged desert tracts. Such
terrains, coupled with the hostile weather conditions
have posed several challenges for logistics and
productivity. Such challenges were overcome through:
yy
yy
Minimising the travelling distance for work force

and maximising their productivity during cooler
hours of the day
Using double tractors to haul heavy Gas
Generators and accessories over sandy dunes to
remote stations
Project Highlights
yy
Worlds longest, 600+ km of continuous heat

insulated pipeline that travels between two states
covering approximately 200 villages
yy
SEHMS conductor and accessories installation

attached to 24 Insulated crude oil pipeline and
OFC backbone network, besides 8 gas pipeline

yy
29 heating stations, each having capacity to

of the pipeline for enabling continuous heating
yy
3 terminals with launcher and receiver facility
yy
Instrumentation and controls integration with

control rooms to prevent the temperature of crude
oil falling below 65 degree C
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.

Challenges
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,
Heating station (SEHMS) with 1 MW gas engine generator
it greatly helped in mitigating

any possibility of delay due to
shortage of workforce. Inspite of
stiff resistance from the locals, the
fiber optic cabling between MPT
to RGT (90 km) was completed as
per project schedule
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.
The E&IC package was originally

to be completed in a period of
18 months. However, during
the course of engineering, there
was a significant increase in the
scope and the revised estimated
completion was fixed at 26 months.
There was a great pressure to
innovate the processes and
techniques in order to overcome
the enormous increase in scope
and the demanding time lines.
Achievements
The innovation started with

installation of cable tray in
pipe rack. It was implemented
Executing a project of such large

a scale calls for the best-in-class
efforts and commitment, and
Most of the foundation required

for supporting the field equipment
was
pre-cast
instead
of
conventional construction in situ.
This was implemented considering
the scattered network.

Rajpura Dariba - The Zinc Thing

The Rajpura Dariba mine perhaps
represents the oldest mining and
smelting operations in the world
for extraction of zinc. Timber
supports recovered from extensive
ancient workings (some timber was
intersected by boreholes at a depth
of 265 m) have been carbon dated
to 2,100 - 2,500 years ago. Early
written records available show that
in 1382 Maharana Laxman Singh
of Mewar reactivated zinc and lead
mining near Udaipur. This goes
to prove that certainly zinc metal
production in India predated that in
Europe by several centuries.
The Rajpura-Dariba deposit was
rediscovered in 1925 by the
Geological Survey of India, and by
1934 it had been shown to extend
on strike for a distance of 17 km.
In 1970 a lease was granted to
Hindustan Zinc Limited (HZL) and
thereafter, with the aid of consultancy
services from RTZ Consultants, U.K, a
mining project was started in 1977,
a capital investment of Rs 728.4
million having been sanctioned
by the Indian Government. HZL
is Indias largest and the worlds
second largest integrated producer
of zinc and lead, with a global share
of approximately 6.0% in zinc. It is a
Panoramic view of plant
42
subsidiary of Sterlite Industries (India)

Limited and the London based,
Vedanta Resources plc.
The HZL plant is located at RajpuraDariba, a small town in the state
of Rajasthan. Dariba holds the
distinction of being the capital of
the former kingdom of Mewar in
Rajputana Agency and is reputed
as the city of lakes worldwide.
The total reserves of deposits were
estimated at 18 Mt with grades of
7.2% zinc and 1.8% lead. The mine
was commissioned in 1983 with a
planned production of 40,600 t/y
of zinc, 10,500 t/y lead, 445 t of
copper, 175 t/y of cadmium and 16t
of silver. The first Indian occurrence
of renierite is reported from the Curich basal zone of the poly metallic
deposit at Rajpura-Dariba.

Challenges faced
One of the most crucial challenges
was the cold bending of SS904L
/ CS pipes which were used as
heating coils in leaching tanks. The
cold bending process was needed
to be done in plenty during the

peak season. For resolving this
issue a Pipe Rolling Machine was
designed in-house and custom
built by the plant and machinery
team of L&T on the site. The
addition of this unique machine
had increased productivity greatly
and helped in completing the
project on time.
Among the other challenges,
there was a land acquisition issue
between the client and the local
villagers. After several discussions
a suitable commitment was given
to villagers that employment

Overview of Leaching Area - After Construction
The location being a dry and arid

region there was an acute scarcity of
proper potable water and water for
construction activities. The heat was
also quite unbearable during most
parts of the year. Windy conditions
would create a lot of dust pollution
which was mitigated by sprinkling
water at site to suppress dust. The
terrain was also rocky in nature
which posed a major challenge for
construction.
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
ambience surrounding the mines.

Inside View of Cell House
The growing concern for sustainable

environment to meet the present
needs without disturbing the assets
for the future generation has
become a key concept in seeking to
integrate the environmental, social
and development goals of societies
everywhere. As such, the future
of mining is inseparable from the
pursuit of sustainable environment.
Therefore L&T has taken all measures
to ensure that the natural resources in
the project area remain sustainable.
There has been a constant effort
towards environmental preservation
and recycling. During construction,
rocks dumped at a dumping yard
were re-used by crushing and
utilizing it for further construction
work. Waste water was recycled for
use in plantation and landscaping.
Land has been used effectively by

setting up the plant considering a
location away from cultivable land.
Contribution
nation building
towards
What was once a rural area with

scanty vegetation and rainfall patterns
has now transformed into a fully
developed and thriving town with the
construction activity alone offering
employment to close to 6500 people.
The construction work being carried
out by L&T has attracted workers from
neighboring villages, giving them an
alternative source of income. Earlier
Dariba only had a dysfunctional
colony and a small shop for serving
the needs of the society prior to the
initiation of construction of the smelter.
With the construction of the plant, the

old colony has been re-utilized by
L&T and made fully functional with
a bustling market place, providing
major commodities and a new stateof-the-art residential complex. The
plant is also expected to infuse a
trickle-down effect providing economic
and infrastructural development in the
neighboring towns.
Rajpura Dariba has a hospital run by
Hindustan Zinc Ltd. and a Kendriya
Vidyalaya school for providing
quality education to the children
of the town. The Government of
Rajasthan has also recently signed
a MOU with Hindustan Zinc Ltd.,
to upgrade the heart hospital
in Udaipur. Through Vedanta
Bal Chetna Anganwadi project
Hindustan Zinc provides nutrients
to the children in the neighboring
rural areas by adopting 400
Anganwadis in the four districts
of Udaipur, Rajsamand, Bhilwara
and Chittorgarh. Today these
Anganwadis have a planned diet
for the children, water filter for safe
drinking water, hygienic toilets, toys
Kendriya Vidhyalaya at Dariba
and colourful books to read. Apart

from these initiatives, HZL has also
helped set up self-help groups to
empower women below poverty
level to earn a monthly household
income of INR 2500.
Today this erstwhile remote village

can boast of amazing amenities
such as uninterrupted power supply
and internet connectivity, copious
water supply and good roads. L&T,
