 2. INTERNSHIP

During the internship period various activities were performed in the plant. The industry
was currently working on the telecom towers for Reliance JIO. As an Intern I got to
participate in the project and experience the production process of a telecom tower. Jio
called their telecom towers as Hybrid towers because of its new design introduced.
Another project which I got to work on was for the Power Transmission Company of
Nepal (PTCN) which is the JV company of Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) and
Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL). The initial prototypes were
built in order to check the if there is any correction in the design. In this project I got to
learn about the initial stages of the design process and how the prototypes are tested.
I was under the supervision of Pathak Sir and Sahare Sir who are Senior Engineers in
the fabrication department. My internship activities were conducted in the fabrication
department.
First a brief introduction was given about the company and every department of the
industry, every departments were introduced and shown. First week was about the CNC
machines used in cutting and punching. The industry has 10 CNC machines which are
regularly used. A lot of knowledge was gained by observing and analyzing the work of
the CNC machine. The project which was in mass production was of reliance jio. The
supporting angle bars were punched and cut into precise dimensions given. A job card
is allotted to every worker working on the machine.
The second week was about hybrid poles used for the telecom towers. My main job was
to observe the design and see whether manufacturing is done according to the design.
The third week was about the prototypes of the transmission poles for Nepal. In this
process I got to experience the pre-production process in the industry. Here most of the
problems in the designs are detected and then rectified by the engineers in the plant and
are corrected and given to the client.
While working on the prototype I got to experience how quality assurance department
of the plant works and how the industry keeps its mark in quality products. Detailed
information about the industry and the internship activities carried out are mentioned
as follows.

The raw yard is the place where all the raw material required for the production is kept.
Here the material is not only placed but also arranged in such a way that it should be
easy to place the material in the correct bay for machining. The raw yard has a
straightening machine to make every material straight before entering the machining
unit. The raw material is purchased from another industry, TATA Projects buys their
material from Bharat steel which gives them material according to their specification.
Raw Yard has a specific order of keeping the material as shown below.

Figure 2.2 – Order of managing the raw material in the raw yard

All the decision of the raw material handling is taken by the raw yard department. They
are responsible to ensure whether the material is stocked properly and it reaches its
station properly. Also, the materials have a color coding which is used to identify the
material. The materials include Angle bar, plates, pipes etc. the color is given on the
flanges and the metal used is mild steel and high-tension steel.

2.4 Fabrication Unit

The production of the tower parts is completed in the fabrication unit. The fabrication
unit is divided into 6 Bays. Each bay has a specific set of machineries and various
operations are carried out in the following bays. The machines are assigned in the bays
are in order such that the time consumption should be less and more production should
be accomplished in the small amount of time. The machineries assigned in the bays are

Table 2.2 – List of machineries

Bay 5 and Bay 6 are used for manufacturing hybrid T-132 towers. These towers have
pipes which are to be welding. Hence in bay 5&6 welding and grinding operations
takes place.
ASSIGNMENT– 1: The first assignment of the internship program was
understanding the principle, working of the CNC Angle punching and shear machine.
As listed in the table above TATA projects has 10 CNC machines in use. Each
operator is given a job card which holds the materials mark no., size and what
operation which is to be carried. The drawing is attached with job card with precise
dimensions. The problems are already fed inside the system and the programs are
named after the mark no. of the product. After feeding the program the dimensions are
feed in the system. The programming language used is instruction list which is also
called as IEC 61131-3 standard.

ILs are not a graphical programming language. Instead, they most resemble assembly
language programming. As the name implies, a program is a series of instructions, listed
in much the same way as an assembly program. The machines have both auto mode as
well as manual mode. The manual mode is time consuming hence the operations are
carried out in auto mode only. In auto mode there are 3 cycles to carry out the operation
1. Continuous cycle 2. Step cycle 3. Single cycle

Figure 2.3 – FICEP Angle punching and shear CNC machine

Continuous cycle carries out the operation throughout the whole bar. Step cycle only
completes one part of the operation means it operates only one part of the bar. And
single cycle carries out on cycle which means it completes one bar operation and stops.
The machines has a device called as the pincher which is used to hold the bar and feeds
the bar to the machine for operation. The pincher is moved by Rack and Pinion
mechanism. While working on the angle bar of dimension 45x45x4 the stamp was
located in the Z1 axis at DA1, and the punches of 14 & 18 mm where at Y1 and Y2
axis. The bar feeding is done at X axis. A process status is kept recorded by the machine
all the time. The parameters which is recorded in the process status are Bar profile,
Program length, Practical Length quality, Auto sequence setup. Stamping process is
also carried out in this machine.

The machines have a problem about heat. Due to the high temperature the machines
have to be stopped for 2 hours until it is cooled. Due to the pneumatic system the
machine gets hot. If the temperature rises from 57 degrees and above the machine has
to be stopped otherwise the damage can occur to the machine.

Figure 2.4 – Bar profile

Other operation is the notching operation which is very essential in the tower
manufacturing. The notching operation is done in Length cut and bottom cut. As
nothing bending is also an essential operation. The types of bending done in the industry
are Heel up/down, flange up/down and open/closed, obtuse bend. These are carried out
in vertical horizontal and dual bending machine.

Saw cutter is used for cutting bars which are above 12 mm of thickness. To cut profile
sheets for hybrid towers gas cutting technique is used. Gas cutting is done manually as
well as a CNC gas cutter from MESSER is used for cutting profiles. The long sheets
are cut in shear cutting machine. Each bay has a goliath train in order to lift the heavy
materials. And to transfer the material to another unit such as from bay 2 to galvanizing
unit, rails are made.

ASSIGNMENT – 2: The second assignment was manufacturing process of the JIO

hybrid T-132 telecom towers. These towers are newly designed by JIO telecom service
which specifically has a pipe structure parts for its erection. The tower structure is
similar to the normal telecom tower, but the only difference is that the main structure
are pipes instead of bars. The supporting trusses are same as the normal one. The trusses
are made in the Bay 1-4 in the CNC machines and the plates required for connecting
the structure together are also machined in it. The main assembly of the pipe is done in
Bay 5 & 6. Here the workers use MIG welding for joining the parts together. Bay 5 &
6 is completely dedicated to hybrid towers.

As working on welding machines and grinding machine, safety is a major priority in

this area. This is essential to prevent any injury to the worker. The safety includes
welding shield, helmet, gloves, workshop shoes, grinding goggles, and mask if needed.
The first assignment given to me was to check whether the worker is wearing proper
safety gear or not as it is the priority. Then the bay has many MIG welding machines
which is operated by CO2 cylinders so it is necessary to check whether there is any
leakage or not in the cylinder. If the leakage is found then the supervisor has to be
informed and then they will take care of this.
The pipe structure which is to joined together is kept in the fixture which is adjustable
according to the length of the pipe. The measurements are taken by the skilled workers
by precised measuring devices. The sample CAD model of the pipe structure of the
hybrid tower is shown below:

Figure 2.5 – Hybrid tower section

The welding should be precised as these towers will be erected a great height and they
can sometimes face harsh whether too so, the quality has to be maintained by the
company. The drawings are given by the design department of the industry. These pipes
are joints together from the flange. The diameter of the pipe stays same only in the same
section. As the height increases the cross-sectional area of the pipe is decreased.

My task at this project was to read the drawings and to ensure the smooth manufacturing
of the pipe. And to explain what the workers did not understand in the drawing’s givens
to them. Every job card that was given had a total goal of making 40 pieces of the given
drawing. Then after completing the job a new job card was given by the senior engineer
and that goal has to be achieved by the workers. Another task was to collect the job
card, get it signed by the senior engineer and the supervisor and submit it to the
fabrication department.
ASSIGNMENT-3: The next assignment on which I got to work for was for the newly
designed electric poles for the Power Transmission Company of Nepal (PTCN). The
poles where in the initial stages of the production. The mass production was not started
in the factory as the project was new. The stage of protype testing was going on which
helped me to understand how the prototypes are tested before the production. It was
been built near bay 6. The initial prototypes were so the welding was done by the
electric arc.

The main job at the prototypes is to check whether the design is proper or not. The
designs may have some mistake and they can be rectified at this stage and then the mass
production is carried out in the plant. The Nepal project had different types of design
for there project. All this designed were made and were supervised by Sahare sir. The
prototypes were made in the scale of 1:1. The drawings were having different available
views in order to read the drawing easily. The sectional views were named as 71-71, 7-
7, 72-72, these names were given for the areas which had plates welded on it.

The drawings of the project were basically in two views the front view and the top view.
The prototypes are fully constructed and then an engineer from the quality assurance
comes and evaluates the design according to the drawing made. If the proto is not built
according to the drawing, then it has to be broken down and built again. This keeps on
going until the perfect design is achieved by the workers. And is the design is accurate
then the drawings is signed by the quality assurance and the design is good to go for
the mass production.

The quality assurance mainly checks the dimensions, and quality of the weld. This is
properly inspected with the tolerance of 1-2mm. the tolerance given in the sheet is up
to 5mm but according to the company’s policy they keep it up to 2mm. quality products
is the main reason the company is one of the leading manufactures in India. After the
green signal from the quality department the drawing is submitted to the fabrication
department and then the job card is issued according to it.

Each part on the pole is marked with the mark no. with a specific embossing given buy
the company. The mark relates with the dimensions of the part and its places where it
will be fitted.
The Sample CAD model of the Nepal project is shown below:

Figure 2.6: Nepal project

As the model shows the structure of the pole. A series of these poles which will be
placed in a row. And it will hold the upper body from the ground firmly. Hence to
withstand all this weight the pole must be strong and the welding should be firm.

Building a prototype is a manual operation which requires a lot of patience and hard
work to make the project right. While working on this project this is the most important
thing which I have learned from the superiors. Many times, the design does not come
out as it should be but that’s why this process is essential in the industry.

While working on this project I got to understand how drawings communicate in the
industry and got a chance to enhance my drawing reading skills and machine drawing
skills. There was many machines and operations where I can relate my theoretical
knowledge with the practical one.
2.5 Galvanizing unit

The product made in this factory is open to natural activities, such as rain, cyclone etc.
So, the material should be strong enough to resist all kinds of climate condition. So, to
prevent this the process of galvanizing is done in order to prevent the material from
corrosion and other factors. There are some steps involved in galvanizing unit. All the
products are galvanized in zinc. After the machined material is given green paint by
quality department then a white paint is given which means the material is rwady for
galvanizing. The steps of galvanizing are as follows

1. Loading: All the materials which are to be galvanized are loaded on the rack
which can hold weight up to 2.5 tons. This rack is moved with the help of goliath
trains from one station to another station.
2. Degreasing: Degreasing is the process to remove the machining liquid, grease
or any other liquid substance from the metal before galvanizing in order to place
all the zinc properly on the metal. This is done by dipping the metal in NaOH
solution inside the degreasing tank.
3. Acid tank: Metal particles have areas where corrosion has occurred. The metal
should be properly cleaned before galvanizing. So, to remove all the corrosion
the acid tank is filled with HCl and additives to remove all the corrosion from
the metal.
4. Fluxing tank: The fluxing tank is used to remove oxidation on the metal. To do
so the tank is filled with NH4Cl and NaCl and the metal is dipped in it. It is also
used for maintaining the coating of zinc in microns. 86 microns coating for
metals above 4mm thickness and 65 microns for below 4mm thickness.
5. Rinsing tank: The rinsing tank is a just a tank filled with water to wash the metal
containing the layer of acid and flux. This makes the metal clean for further
process.
6. Dryer: The is used to dry the metal parts so that wet metal should not be passed
in the zinc bath.
7. Zinc Bath: Zinc bath is hot tub filled with melted zinc in it. It is the main process
of galvanizing where the coating of zinc is applied to the material. The zinc
inside the tub has a density of 6.9 kg/m3. A layer of lead is also kept at the bottom
of the tube in order if the metal falls inside then it should not be damaged. The
density of lead inside is 11.4 kg/m3. The material is not dipped in the zinc unless
 the temperature of the zinc crosses 445 degrees. The temperature is maintained
from 445 to 460 degrees.

Figure 2.7: Galvanizing

After the process of galvanizing the material allowed to cool and the access material if
any are filled out. After the process of galvanizing a specific color is given on the flange
according to the project and then they are kept in the Dispatch yard.

2.6 Fastener Unit

First the company didn’t have their own fastener unit. The company used to procure
the fasteners from other companies for joining the tower. But now the company has its
own fastener unit where they manufacture their own fasteners of various size required.

The fastener unit is located behind the main plant and also has advanced machineries
required to manufacture nut and bolts.
2.7 Dispatch yard

Figure 2.8(A) Dispatch yard

This is the place where all the ready products are kept which are ready for dispatch. The
dispatch is also label like the raw yard. The names are given according to the project
and properly kept according to it. All the shipping and dispatch is done with help of the
cranes available in the plant.

 SELF-ASSESSMENT

1. Responsibilities undertaken during internship period

The responsibilities given to me was to see whether the workers are in proper safety
gears or not. As safety is the main priority in the industry the workers have to maintain
the safety rule of the company. This responsibility was given to me by my superior.
This kept an awareness of safety in me while working in the industry.

Another responsibility was making note that the CO2 cylinders do not leak gas from it.
As more and more work is done in the industry so wasting is not an option and it results
in loss of material. The job card is important document which is helpful for the
production. The responsibility given was to collect the job card after the work was done
and get it signed by the superior engineers.

2. Influence of internship in future career

This internship had a great influence for me. First, I got to experience the industrial life
how it works and how the decisions are made, how the maintenance work and what it
is to be when to take certain responsibility. It helped me gain more practical knowledge
by actually seeing the process rather than just reading it in the books. Which will be
very useful while working in the industry. As I want to pursue my career in design, I
got to read the drawings and work on the prototype which is the part of designing. This
helped me to understand how design and fabrication works together and accomplish
their goal.

The team work while working on the prototype helped me to get along with the team
mates and working together s the team as it is very important to work as a team in the
industry.
3. Correlation with classroom knowledge

There were many areas where I can correlate with my classroom knowledge. The
machining carried out in factory is all relatable to the 4th and 3rd semester subject of
machining process and manufacturing process. Machines like drilling, power press,
heel milling, shear cutting, stamping and notching etc. are all relatable and practical
knowledge is also gained. The process of galvanizing was studied in metallurgy which
was in 3rd semester and understanding the detailed process was very helpful.

Advanced Production Process which was in 5th semester had processes such as gas
cutting operation, MIG welding etc. the latest technology of CNC machining was very
helpful in the field. While observing the machines various actuators, pneumatic
systems, and DCV valves can be observed and analyzed. And also, the programing
languages of PLC and working conditions were also studied. This was all studied in the
6th semester in the subject of mechatronics.

Hence in this way I could correlate the practical knowledge with my classroom
knowledge.
 CONCLUSION

This internship has been an excellent and rewarding experience. I have been able to
meet and network with so many people that I am sure will be able to help me with the
opportunities in the future.

I was able to learn many things through this internship. Especially I was able to learn
the discipline of the industry and work according to it. I was able to understand the
concept of tower manufacturing and the processes involved in it. It helped me to gain
more practical knowledge. I was able to understand the process planning and quality
control of the industry and how they are very essential while running an industry.

TATA projects limited works in power sector and has tower manufacturing unit in
Umred. For the last years TATA projects TMU has been up to the mark in their quality
and work. They have major clients and major projects to carry out in the field. I am
grateful to Mr. Manish Wankar, Dy. Manager – HRD for allowing me for the internship
