INTRODUCTION

Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. is one of Govt of India’s leading companies engaged in the
business of Oil refinery, oil and lubricants distribution and marketing. IOCL is one of the
few Indian companies listed in the fortune 500 companies and continuously and
consistently maintaining good business track record.

IOCL proposes to setup a grass-root Lube Complex on a new land at Amulavoya land
Vaikkadu villages, Manali, Chennai, Tamilnadu with facilities comprising of for Lube oil
blending, Greases and manufacture of specialty products.

The proposed green field facility being proposed by IOCL has appointed PEC Limited,
Singapore as IOCL’s Project Management Consultant.

IOCL has proposed to develop the Lube complex with state of art process plant,
warehouses, utility buildings along with support service facilities, parking amenities for
truck, trailers & other essential infrastructural elements in land parcels. The proposed
campus has many buildings. The area particulars and the names of these buildings are
mentioned separately.

As the project is coming up near Manali which is a well-known industrial belt on the North
of Chennai, the project is well connected with infrastructure facilities as well as
residential and other facilities required for a total living environment. The nearest local
area, Manali is an industrial area and part of Chennai Corporation.

The project is envisaged in an area of about 71.05Acres.

The project proponent (IOCL) and the PMC consultant of IOCL have envisaged the proposed
Lube complex project for green certification from IGBC and thus aiming to get the IGBC
platinum rating for the proposed facility.

2.8 GEOTECHNICAL CONSIDERATION:

• General - The design is based on the broad assumption need to be updated based on
the “Geotechnical Investigation report”.
• The foundation design based on given soil report.

2.9 RCC BUILDING - THE STRUCTURAL SYSTEM:

2.9.1 FRAMED STRUCTURES:

Basic Frame Work Besides being versatile and having a desired appearance and greater fire
resistance, Reinforced cement Concrete (RCC) and Bricks are the most prevalent component
material in India for construction of buildings due to easy availability of raw materials and
skilled work force.
The structure has been envisaged to comprise of rigid, moment resisting, space frame
structures. Cast in-situ Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) and Bricks are the component
materials proposed in this project. RCC is used for the basic structural frame members of the
buildings like floor slabs, beams columns and foundations to transfer the structure loads to the
soil, whereas outer walls and partition walls are to be constructed of locally available clay
bricks.

Columns shall be resting on Isolated Foundations / Pile foundation based on the soil
investigation report received. There is no provision for horizontal and vertical future expansion
unless specified in the drawings. The floor slabs and the beams are of cast –in- situ concrete in
RCC Buildings.
2.9.2 STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS AND DESIGN CODES OF PRACTICE:

The structural analysis and design of the building components shall be done in accordance

2.10.3 Fire Rating :

• 4 hours for plant building, MCC rooms & Sub-station.

cover is provided for fire resistance to the reinforced concrete elements.
 • Minimum Size of Slab Elements 150 mm
• Column's least Lateral dimension 300 mm

• Lateral deflection of the building is controlled by limiting the storey drift as well as
the total deflection.

storey drift in any storey due to the minimum specified design lateral force, with
partial load factor of 1.0 should not exceed 0.004 times the storey height.
• The storey Drift is checked for Wind load as well as Earthquake Loading. The
maximum lateral deflection due to Wind Forces and the Earthquake Forces is
restrained to height/500.

(2000) and it is L/250. Suitable Camber will be provided in the beams on need basis.
