 For Water Quality testing as per IS

10500 code for drinking

 For Pest Control

 For Security at the site

 Third parties for calibration & testing of critical

equipment/machines/tools/tackles etc at the site
Phases of Project Life Cycle- Planning/Design

• Incorporate the safe & green features in the

planning phase
Examples of Engineering controls in design

 Scaffolding selection- Example PERI

 Form work selection- Example MIVAN/Geoplast
 Automatic bar bending & cutting machine
 Use of block work & transportation by fork lift
 Precast slab
 High frequency vibrator
 Debris chute
 Taps for curing at each floor
Advanced Scaffolding system

The PERI scaffold system is the modular reinforcement

scaffold for efficient work. A reinforcement scaffolding is a
special type of facade scaffolding. It is characterized by the
fact that no anchors are required
Advanced Scaffolding system
• With proper support system, the use of plywood
is minimized
• It is reusable and minimizes wastage of resources;
Plywood consumption is 84% less in modular scaffolding
as compared to conventional scaffolding for columns &
100 % timber is saved in modular scaffolding system.

• Time and motion improvements can slash costs.

• Cleaning and maintenance can be done by BIO
Clean agents.
• Safety- Provision for safe access, egress, fall protection
( toe board, guard rail, anchoring is provided in design)
Advanced Formwork

Uses of Mivan Formwork:

 3S – System of Construction – Speed, Strength,
Safety
 Column and beam construction are eliminated
 Walls and slabs are cast in one operation
 Specially designed, easy to handle light weight pre-
engineered aluminium forms
 Fitting and erecting the portion of shuttering
 Carrying out concreting of the walls and slabs
together
Automatic Bar bending & Cutting machine

• Reduction in wastage of steel by 2-3%

• Reduction in the hazards & risks involved in the bar

bending & cutting operation

• 40% Less number of workers as compared to

conventional machine

• Improvement in productivity & precision

L- Likelihood
Precast Technology- Advantages
• No Use of Ply for casting the slab saves lot of wood
which would have been used in absence of the
technology.
• Minimum transportation of pre-cast slabs is
assured to save on fuel.
• Technology helps in saving around 90% of water as
compared to prevailing slab casting technology
• Enviro friendly totally re-locatable, recyclable, 90%
waste free and minimizes double handling and transport
via on- site manufacturing.
• Generation of concrete waste during the slab
casting process is abysmal.
Precast Technology- Advantages
• Technology has an option to provide a fully packaged, fully
scoped thermal solution, delivering both exceptional
savings and environmental benefits for your building
project both during construction and post construction
‘maintenance’ stage. The thermal package can help to
reduce the running cost of your building by 30 to 50%.
• REDUCED COSTS in running and maintenance of the
building – up to 50% post construction
• Safety- Precast blocks reduces height work and are lifted
by mechanical means
• Reduces fall/trip hazard due to less formwork/scaffolding
at the site
• Reduces hazards/risks involved in curing activity
Debris Chute for Safe Disposal

Project Completion Requirements

Defect Liability Period

Before handing over the completed site owner we need to see contract
to document for defect liability period.
• Ensure that there is adequate funding for executing the work during this time
including HSE requirements.
• List out the activities which are to be executed during defect liability period.
• Prepare the list of equipment and PPE’s required

INCORPORATING SAFETY ASPECTS - Summary
• The earlier safety (along with
production, quality, project scope,
etc.) -more Positive influence
it will have on the total
project!

• It is effective to design safety into a process than

manage safety within a process that is inherently unsafe.
