INTRODUCTION
Larsen & Toubro Ltd, commonly known as L&T, is an
Indian multinational conglomerate, with business interests
in engineering, construction, manufacturing, technology an
d financial services, headquartered in Mumbai. It was
1 founded by two Danish engineers taking refuge in
India. As of 2020, L&T Group comprises 118 subsidiaries,
6 associates, 25 joint-venture and 35 joint operations
companies, operating across basic and heavy engineering,
construction, realty, manufacturing of capital goods,
information technology, and financial services.

2 HISTORY
Larsen & Toubro originated from a company founded in
1938 in Mumbai by two Danish engineers, Henning
Holck-Larsen and Søren Kristian Toubro. The company
began as a representative of Danish manufacturers of dairy
and allied equipment. However, with the start of
the Second World War in 1939 and the resulting blockade
of trade lines, the partners started a small workshop to
undertake jobs and provide service facilities. Germany's
invasion of Denmark in 1940 stopped supplies of Danish
products. The war-time need to repair and refit and
degauss ships offered L&T an opportunity, and led to the
formation of a new company, Hilda Ltd, to handle these
operations. L&T also started to repair and fabricate ships
signalling the expansion of the company. The
sudden internment of German engineers in British
India (due to suspicions caused by the Second World
War), who were to put up a soda ash plant for the Tata's,
gave L&T a chance to enter the field of installation.
In 1944, ECC (Engineering Construction & Contracts) was
incorporated by the partners; the company at this time was

Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education


Industrial TrainingWeekly Diary

focused on construction projects (Presently, ECC is the


construction division of L&T). L&T began several foreign
collaborations. By 1945, the company represented British
manufacturers of equipment used to manufacture products
such as hydrogenated oils, biscuits, soaps and glass. In
1945, the company signed an agreement with Caterpillar
Tractor Company, USA, for marketing earth moving
equipment. At the end of the war, large numbers of war-
surplus Caterpillar equipments were available at attractive
prices, but the finances required were beyond the capacity
of the partners. This prompted them to raise additional
equity capital, and on 7 February 1946, Larsen & Toubro
Private Limited was incorporated.
After India's independence in 1947, L&T set up offices in
Calcutta (now Kolkata), Madras (now Chennai) and New
Delhi. In 1948, 55 acres of undeveloped marsh and jungle
was acquired in Powai, Mumbai. A previously
uninhabitable swamp subsequently became the site of its
main manufacturing hub. In December 1950, L&T became
a public company with a paid-up capital of ₹20
lakh (equivalent to ₹18 crore or US$2.5 million in 2019).
The sales turnover in that year was ₹1.09 crore (equivalent
to ₹97 crore or US$14 million in 2019). In 1956, a major
part of the company's Mumbai office moved to ICI House
in Ballard Estate, which would later be purchased by the
company and renamed as L&T House, its present
headquarters.
During the 1960s, ventures included UTMAL (set up in
1960), Audco India Limited (1961), Eutectic Welding
Alloys (1962) and TENGL (1963).
In 1965, L&T had been chosen as a partner for
building nuclear reactors. Dr. Homi Bhabha, then
chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) had in
fact first approached L&T in the 1950s to fabricate critical
components for atomic reactors. He convinced Holck-
Larsen, a friend with whom he shared an interest in the arts
that the company could do it, indeed must do it. L&T has

Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education


Industrial TrainingWeekly Diary

since contributed significantly to the Indian nuclear


programme ... Holck-Larsen was once asked by a junior
engineer why L&T should get into building nuclear power
plants when companies in the US and Germany were
losing money on nuclear jobs.  He replied: 'Young man,
India has to build nuclear power plants. If not L&T, who
will do it?' 
During the 1970s, L&T was contracted to work
with Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Its then
chairman, Vikram Sarabhai, chose L&T as manufacturing
partner. In 1972, when India launched its space
programme, L&T was invited to participate.
In 1976, ECC bid for a large airport project in Abu Dhabi.
ECC's balance sheet, however, did not meet the bid's
financial qualification requirement. So it was merged into
L&T. ECC was eventually rechristened L&T Construction
and now accounts for the largest slice of the group's annual
revenue.
In 1985, L&T entered into a partnership with Defence
Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). L&T
was not yet allowed by the government to manufacture
defence equipment but was permitted to participate in
design and development programmes with DRDO. After
the design and development was done, L&T had to hand
over all the drawings to DRDO. The government would
then assign the production work to a public sector defence
unit or ordnance factory for manufacture. After a series of
successes and positive policy initiatives, L&T today makes
a range of weapon and missile systems, command and
control systems, engineering systems and submarines
through DRDO.

Industrial Boiler:-Used for generation of process steam
for industrial purpose, small capacity boilers.

Utility Boiler:-Used for power generation purpose in


major power plants.

Fire Tube Boilers:-Fire tube boilers consist of long steel


tubes through which hot flue gases from the furnace pass
and water around the flue gets heated to form steam and
gets collected in the vessel from where it is tapped. These
boilers are limited to small capacity and pressure range
only.

Water Tube Boilers:-In Water tube boilers, water flows


in tubes and hot flue gases pass around the tubes (also
known as heating surfaces). These boilers are generally
used for power generation purpose.

Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education

Vertical Boiler:-In the vertical boilers, the axis of the


shell is vertical e.g.-simple vertical boiler and Cochran
boilers.

Horizontal Boiler:-In the horizontal boilers, the axis of


the shell is horizontal e.g.-Lancashire boiler, Locomotive
boiler and Babcock and Wilcox boiler.

Stoker Fired:-Coal is fed onto one end of a moving chain


grate. As the grate moves along, the coal burns before
dropping off at the end as ash. Coal must be uniform as
large lumps will not burn completely before reaching the
end of the grate.

Fluidized Bed Combustion (FBC):- Fluidized bed


combustion (FBC) has emerged as a viable alternative and
has significant advantages over conventional firing system
and offers multiple benefits – compact boiler design, fuel
flexibility, higher combustion efficiency and reduced
emission of noxious pollutants such as SOx and NOx. The
fuels burnt in these boilers include coal, washery rejects,
rice husk, bagasse & other agricultural wastes. The
fluidized bed boilers have a wide capacity range- 0.5 T/hr
to over 100 T/hr.

Pulverized Coal Fired:- Most coal-fired power station


boilers use pulverized coal, and many of the larger
industrial water-tube boilers also use this pulverized fuel.
This technology is well developed, and there are thousands
of units around the world, accounting for well over 90% of
coal-fired capacity.

ACHIEVING SAFETY COMPLIANCE AMIDST
EVOLVING INDUSTRY PRACTICES

Regulatory compliance in the process industry is fast


evolving owing to fragmented processes and business
growth. This gives rise to an array of challenges such as
skill gap, regulatory and compliance issues and, most
importantly, an increase in workplace safety costs. The
latter is directly linked to the rising rate of accidents and
injuries at the workplace, ineffectual risk analysis, and
inefficient forecasting. To ensure safety management,
achieve compliance, and identify potential hazards, the
process industry has adopted conventional methods such as

Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education


Industrial TrainingWeekly Diary

Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP).


Another way around these challenges is to leverage the
engineering and design expertise that the industry applies
to manufacturing. The need of the hour is to embrace a
new model of process safety management, one that
decomposes the problem into its constituent components
and addresses each comprehensively and synergistically to
cover all bases. In tandem, it is necessary to leverage the
power of digital technology to deliver complete safety
solutions. This will ensure improved working conditions
and instill greater trust in workers.

2
A Strategic Approach for Holistic Safety Solutions

On the factory floor, critical safety concerns revolve


around manual installation, operation or servicing of
machinery, and electrical safety. To design workflows and
protocols that minimize worker injuries, the first step is to
carry out detailed inspection for a comprehensive analysis
of existing workflows, assess the degree of risk, and
identify areas of concern.
Insights derived through this process then inform the
conceptualization of specific and targeted interventions
that can address these lacunae. The solution is first
articulated in a virtual form which  then undergoes
refinement through subsequent iterations. This constitutes
the first and most critical phase of machine risk assessment
and solution development.
In the next phase, chosen designs are prototyped and
mounted on 3D replicas of the machinery for testing and
fine-tuning. Then follows fabrication, assembly and the
installation of safety guarding systems with every step
being subjected to careful supervision in accordance with
safety guidelines.
A similar process must be followed for electrical safety,

Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education


Industrial TrainingWeekly Diary

which starts with a thorough inspection, identification of


risk areas, and development of detailed plans for risk
mitigation and management. Relevant evaluations include
load flow, short circuit, relay coordination, and ground
grid studies. Based on the findings, settings on devices can
be modified to help ensure equipment protection, minimize
arc flash, and reduce system disruption. Another outcome
takes the form of optimized sequences of operation for
protective devices.
In all instances, it is essential to enlist the services of
Certified Machinery Safety Experts or Electrical Safety
Experts as these individuals are familiar with industry
standards and machine safety legislation.

3
Minimizing Risk Incidents through Data Analytics

According to the International Labour Organization (ILO),


more than 600 work-related accidents occur every minute.
Concerned over the rising rate of such incidents, even
those organizations that started off with a brick-and-mortar
presence are now digitalizing their factory floor operations
primarily to adapt and ensure safety.
With the onset of  Industry 4.0, supply chains are
benefitting from increased intelligence through connected 
machinery on the factory floor which allows for real-time
supervision and provides predictive alerts. These
mechanisms can be actively leveraged to mitigate safety
risks and boost productivity.
As advanced data analytics delivers insights at every level,
accidents are being averted through automated alerts,
statistical analysis, forecasting, and extrapolation. Such
predictive analytics delivers significant benefits – take for
instance a subsidiary of a major manufacturing company
that reduced workplace safety incidents by more than three
quarters.

Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education


Industrial TrainingWeekly Diary

Workplace safety and equipment monitoring go hand in


hand. Several industries rely on digital visualization to
effectively monitor remote areas that are otherwise
difficult to access. In this way, the Industrial Internet of
Things (IIoT) has found use in the predictive maintenance
of equipment.
This development is particularly valuable for industries
where workers are routinely exposed to hazardous working
environments. The payoff that is likely to emerge, in terms
of improved health and safety, productivity, efficiency,
output quality, revenue and market share, compensates
substantially for the initial investment necessary to deploy
IIoT-based safety management.

4
Disruptive Forces Impact PPE

Wearables have revolutionized the entire concept of


personal protective equipment (PPE), and are no longer
limited to safety elements or gloves. With the addition of
sensors to existing manufacturing infrastructure,
information is harvested, transmitted and analyzed to
predict risks and avert them on time. Cloud connectivity
increases the speed and efficiency of data sharing with
stakeholders; in this case, the workers themselves.
Along these lines, major engineering service companies
have begun to install radio chips in workers’ helmets and
sensors on their equipment to enable constant vigilance
and prevent health issues and tragic situations. Ultimately,
this translates into long-term cost-savings and enhanced
compliance.
Other new technologies such as augmented reality and
virtual reality enable inspections to be carried out more
efficiently. By simulating expected conditions, diagnosing
problems, and finally assigning them to safety
maintenance groups, these breakthrough technologies

Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education


Industrial TrainingWeekly Diary

equip inspectors with valuable visual-based tools.


Forecasts indicate that digitized plants are the future of
manufacturing, where connected machines will collaborate
with one another and work more efficiently. At the same
time, digital technology, when integrated with machine
safety and electrical safety protocols and solutions will
open up new avenues for process safety management.

Transforming the Future of the Process Industry

Strategic design thinking enables a holistic approach to the


complex and pressing problem of worker safety.
Implementing streamlined protocols for addressing
machine and electrical safety on a regular basis goes a long
way toward significantly reducing casualties.
Further, embracing digital technologies allows
manufacturers to transcend the basic requirements of
regulatory compliance and actively create policies to
ensure commitment toward the safety and well-being of
their workers. This system can be rounded out with
employee insurance and first-aid services.
With the implementation of such policies, manufacturers

Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education


Industrial TrainingWeekly Diary

deepen an ethos of trust between themselves and their


workforce, guaranteeing enhanced performance,
productivity, and output.
However, the benefits don’t end there. Effectively
integrating smart technologies into manufacturing lays the
foundation for the process industry to enter the digital
future with greater confidence in its ability to embrace a
wider range of emerging technologies while catering to
varied demands. This will bolster the spirit of innovation
and help create a more diversified range of offerings,
enabling delivery of all-round value to clients.

DIGITALISATION IN EHS - VIRTUALLY SAFE

Digitalisation is extensively used across L&T’s businesses


as a key enabler to improve safety performance. It is used
to create e-learning modules at project sites, and devise
virtual reality-based training modules. It also plays a key
role in designing safety cards for reporting unsafe
acts/conditions, incident investigation, safety inspection,
improved Safe Operating Procedures (SOPs) to reflect
changing work methods, EHS suggestion systems; to name
2 a few. A digital walk through a combination of hardware
(smart glass) and software solutions are used to observe
project progress, safety, quality, workmen welfare and
administration from a remote location.
The construction sector which has been a brick-and mortar
industry both literally and metaphorically for years, is now
transforming with the use of smart technologies. The
project sites now use RFID tags to track material entering
a site, along with advanced geospatial techniques and
Internet of Things. Digitalisation also empowers engineers
by eliminating mundane activities, and helping them focus
on progressive and more productive areas.

The most significant of these smart initiatives is the ‘BIM


for Safety’ which is transforming the way EHS functions.
3. BIM comprises 3D-models embedded with data and
information, and has been an excellent platform to share
resources and improve co-ordination. This path-breaking
