VENUE DEVELOPMENT, OVERLAYS
AND OPERATIONS
Venue Development: Responsible for integration with
external agencies/stakeholders like Venue Owners and other
governmental departments and formulation of Venue Use
Agreements.
Overlays: Responsible for the development of venues in
accordance with venue briefs duly assisted by consultants,
preparation of Bill of Quantity with respect to Games Time
requirement of Overlays and their subsequent procurement and
deployment at venues.
Venue Operations: The centre of gravity of the planning
process at the OC CWG Delhi 2010, interface between FAs
and the lead agency in the planning process.
The FA had to face many challenges in terms of limited
resources of experienced manpower, late possession of venues,
venues being incomplete (some of them till end September
2010), several agencies working simultaneously to get their
jobs completed, coordination and accreditation issues, heavy
rains in August/September 2010, changes proposed by the
Security agencies and other FAs. It successfully acted as a key
coordinator between the Venue Owners and different FAs,
stakeholders, venue teams and was also able to cater to last
minute requirements that came from different sources.
The venue teams were moved into the venues,
venues readiness and operational planning finalised,
ensuring smooth and problem free conduct of 12 days
of sport extravaganza from 3 to 14 October 2010.
