EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Architectural & Design Consultancy for the construction of Outdoor Training Facilities for Uttarakhand Disaster Recovery
the Project of State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) Battalion HQ cum Training Centre at Project (UDRP)
Jolly Grant Dehradun, Uttarakhand

Executive Summary
ES.1 Introduction
The Government of Uttarakhand intends to create a State of the Art performance level campus
for carry out day to day functioning of SDRF battalion HQ cum Training Centre. It is informed
that the project will be financed by The World Bank under UDRP-AF, therefore for
implementation of the project the PIU (Public Building), UDRF will be the implementation
agency/ client/ employer for the said project.

ES.1.1 Background:

Uttarakhand, the hill state by virtue of its geographical setting is vulnerable to different types of
natural calamities like earthquakes, landslide, cloud bursts, flash floods, avalanches, and forest
fires especially during the rainy season. Uttarakhand is emerging as one of the favored
destinations for religious and adventure tourism which has also contributed to the ever
increasing tourist footfall in the hill State.

ES.1.2 SDRF- Present Status:

SDRF has been equipped with requisite latest equipment under The World Bank assisted
Uttarakhand Disaster Recovery Project (UDRP), each member of SDRF has been provided with
an individual disaster kit in order to take control of an emergency situation. Due to availability
of latest search and rescue equipments provided by the World Bank, SDRF has been established
as a visible and reliable response force to provide specialized response during disaster.

ES.1.3 Training & Awareness Facilities:

SDRF is a dedicated, highly trained, technologically advanced, and humanitarian force, which is
working as a multi disciplinary, multi hazard, and community centric response unit. The SDRF
is also involved in capacity building of community during peace hours. The core function of
SDRF Headquarter Campus shall be to fulfill all the requirements related to training of SDRF
personnel.
The facility is planned to later to simultaneously for imparting training and capacity building to
approximate 1500 personal in a year. It could be used as a training resource centre for other
organization.
This project is proposed to execute in 3 phases, Phase-I for Administrative block, Training
block, Barracks, Hostels, multipurpose hall which is in construction stage, Phase-II for Training
components and Phase-III for Residential and other infrastructure.

ES.3. Dog Training

Search and rescue (SAR) dogs spring into action assisting humans during difficult times. They
track people lost in the wilderness or those lost after a natural disaster.
The use of dogs in search and rescue (SAR) is a valuable component in wilderness tracking,
natural disasters, mass casualty events, and in locating missing people. Dedicated handlers and
well-trained dogs are required for the use of dogs to be effective in search efforts. Search and
rescue dogs are typically worked, by a small team on foot.
Search and rescue dogs detect human scent. Although the exact processes are still researched, it
may include skin rafts (scent-carrying skin cells that drop off living humans at a rate of about
40,000 cells per minute),evaporated perspiration, respiratory gases, or decomposition gases
released by bacterial action on human skin or tissues.
Dogs will be trained to perform explosives detection.

E.S.4.Obstacle Course

Obstacle course helps the trainers to develop motor fitness including speed, agility, coordination,
and related skills and abilities. Many of these activities also give trainers the chance to plan
strategy, make split-second decisions, learn teamwork, and demonstrate leadership.

Physical performance and success in combat depends on a trainer's ability to perform skills like
those required on the obstacle course.

E.S.4.1. Type of Obstacle Course

1. Conditioning: Conditioning course has low obstacles. Running the course will be a test
for the trainer's basic motor skills and physical condition. After trainers receive
instruction and practice the skills, they run the course against time.

2. Confidence: A confidence course has higher, more difficult obstacles than a

conditioning course. It gives trainers confidence in their mental and physical abilities and
cultivates their spirit of daring. Trainers are encouraged, but not forced, to go through it.

Based on the above type, the following obstacle Training components are Proposed.
1. W Wall 4. 9’ Ditch

2. Tarzan Swing 5. Tarzan Hand Walk

3. Monkey crawl 6. ZigZag Balance

2. The areas under and around obstacles will be covered with an impact reducing material
appropriate to prevent serious injury in the event a trainer falls while negotiating subject
obstacle.
3. When purchasing fall protection equipment required for an obstacle, installations will ensure
equipment meets or exceeds standard without creating a greater hazard. Where impact-reducing
material is required, sand, wood chips, saw dust, or shredded tire rubber is sufficient.
4. Below are essential items of fall protection required by obstacle.
 Wood chips/sand/or shredded rubber beneath obstacle.
 Pole vault safety pad placed at base of obstacle.
 Safety net placed beneath obstacle extended 8 feet out from point of potential fall. All
netting will be rated for outside use and meet OSHA specifications for fall protection.
 Eye bolt or hook for instructor safety harness positioned at top of obstacle.
 Instructor platform with eye bolt or metal hook to secure safety harness.
 Net placed beneath the length of descent rope.
 Padding placed on net beneath descent rope.
 Pads at end of net near release point.
 Pole vault pad at the base of release point.
 The area under and around obstacle covered with impact reducing material.
 Netting extended from first level (optional).
 Padding on tops of upper side braces.
 Padding on tops of front support logs.
 Padding on the tops of rear support logs.
 Pole vault padding beneath center of obstacle.
 There are steps which designers reduce injuries.
 All landing areas are raked and refilled before each use.
 Puddles of water under obstacles will be cause a false sense of security. This results in
improper landing techniques and serious injuries.

Safety equipment (nets, pads, and ground covering) are procured from reliable sources. If
shredded rubber is used, get samples prior to purchasing. When procuring netting, ensure
provider include design specifications and usage restrictions. To ensure maximum life of Safety
equipment, inspect on a regular interval and store away from extreme weather conditions when
possible.
