Building infrastructurein the busiest partof a city is nevereasy. Punj Lloyd wasconscious of thisfact, adopting bestpractices of HSEQthroughout projectexecution.Both the stations in Reach 1 havealready been completed and areoperational.Gliding smoothlyAs you walk into the metro station,the vibrant green and purple housecolours of the Namma Metro, grabyour attention. What also strikesone is the smooth and sleek finishof the entire station, from the graniteflooring, the escalator or the ticketcounter. A truly unique projectfor Punj Lloyd as other than thestructural work, this project alsoincluded the finishing and MEP(Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing)work which matches internationalstandards.Being an MRT infrastructureproject, every aspect of theproject was planned to add to theexperience of the traveler. Variouscolours of marble and granite wereused, exceeding 13,000 sqm of areawhile brick and block masonry wasacross 1,100 sqm. Over 30,000sqm of wall was painted, while falseceiling installed was nearly 3,650sqm at all the levels. Aluminumcomposite panel work, along withthe structural glazing work, coveringall the external surfaces wasapproximately 9,300 sqm. All publichealth and environment systems, aswell as the fire protection and safetysystems were installed by Punj Lloyd.Structural WorkA total of 3,000 MT of structural steelhad to be fabricated and erectedat the stations in the form of archtrusses, purlins, staircases, foot overbridge etc. Structural work amountedto 73,972 m 3 of concrete, TMTrequirement being 15,300 MT.A total of 978 piles had to bebored, varying in diameter from600 mm to 1,600 mm. 1,377 precastgirders were cast at a yard, locatedon the outskirts of the city. They weretransported from the yard via trailersand erected at site; the highesterection being at a height of 25 mfrom the ground level. The longestgirder measured 19 m and theheaviest, 50 MT.Unique TechnologiesFor the casting of pre-tensioned andpost-tensioned girders, prestressingtechnology was used. Out of the1,377 girders, 997 were prestressedconcrete (PSC) girders. One ofthe distinguishing features of theBangalore Metro Project was theuse of steam curing, wherein steamis continuously supplied and atemperature of 70º C maintained,resulting in concrete attaining 85 percent strength in a single day. Withthe use of this unique technology,Update > January - August 20128

the rate of production of the girderswas increased and the cycle timeof a normal pre-tensioned girderwas reduced to two and a half daysinstead of a nine day casting cycle.This ensured rapid progress ofprecast girder production.WATER TANKSTEAM CURINGSTARTDIESEL TANKERCentral Precast YardThe Central Precast Yard, situated20 km from the city, was a greatasset and served a multipurposerole. Not only was it used for castingstructures, but the procurement,inventory and plant & equipmentteams, operated out of there.Fabrication work for the project wasalso done at the central precastyard as well as storage of surplusstaging and shuttering material.The labour camp, housing over 200workmen, within the precast yard,sprawled across 1,600 sqm. Theworkers’ camp was well maintainedand inspections were undertakenregularly to ensure that a clean andhealthy environment was provided tothe workers.Adopting Best PracticesBuilding infrastructure in the busiestpart of a city is never easy. Punj Lloydwas conscious of this fact, adoptingbest practices of HSEQ – health,safety, environment and quality,throughout project execution.SAFETYFastening the safety beltSafety of workmen is extremelyimportant to us at all our constructionsites. However greater vigilance isWATER SOFTENER (FOR SOFTENINGOF HARD WATER FROM BORE WELL)required in sites like that of the Metrobecause it involves the safety of thepublic, due to its location.All workers were mandated towear Personal Protective Equipment(PPE).

differentiate the work site from thenormal public space. Barricadingwas done to prevent unauthorisedpersonnel from entering the area ofwork.Healthy livingWhile safety at the work site isimportant, general health and wellbeing of the staff is equally important.On the 1st of December every year,Punj Lloyd observes World AIDSDay where the employees at all sitesworldwide take various initiatives toraise awareness about AIDS and itspreventive measures.EnvironmentWhile human life is precious, PunjLloyd is equally conscious ofprotecting the flora and fauna. Inrapidly growing cities, infrastructuredevelopment is always perceived tobe at the cost of the environment.In constructing iconic landmarksglobally, Punj Lloyd has alwaysdisplayed environment sensitivity,minimising its impact on theenvironment or offsetting theimpact of its construction activitywith well planned environmentinitiatives. The Bangalore Metro sitewas no exception. Various initiativesincluding those for greening wereundertaken. Tree plantation wasdone in the precast yard whichplayed a central role in the siteoperations.Foot Over Bridge at MGRoad StationMahatma Gandhi Road (M GRoad) is one of the busiest roads inBangalore. The foot over bridge wasintended to join the Metro Station tothe Plaza building across the road.In order to erect the bridge, theroad had to be blocked for 48 hours.This put the project team underintense pressure. They were awarethat it was impossible to block theroad in the heart of the city beyond11 Update > January - August 2012

With extensive work in Mass and Light Rapid Transportand urban infrastructure, Sembawang has contributed greatly to Singaporebeing one of the most efficient countries of the world.Capturing the essence of this creation, President & CEO, Ric Grosvenor, ina philosophical moment wrote :“WE CREATE”Down through the ages the baton gets passedThis sacred fire to build everlastThe desire to triumph the will to succeedBoth in men and in women who carry this seedFor no one can explain it this creating of dreamsIt lives like an eagle so sacred it seemsSo we struggle through mud as we twist and we toilThe sinews of greatness in the arms of turmoilFrom the soul of an artist this sand it is castWill it outlive its maker-will it outlive its classNo matter the question it vexes them notFor these creators of dreams give all that they’ve got.R F GrosvenorUpdate > January - August 201230

In this context, we introduce alandmark Sembawang project thatcreated an infrastructure that hadgreatly enhanced connectivity in thecountry.The Circle Line, which is a MassRapid Transit line in Singapore, isa significant part of Singapore’sgrowing rail system. The 33.3 km lineand 28 stations fully-undergroundorbital route links all the radial linesleading to the city thereby providingessential connectivity. Since all theMRT routes cross through someof the busiest areas in Singapore,all of its stations are locatedunderground, freeing up land forother developments.Sembawang built the final stageof the Circle Line, known as Stage5 Contract C856. The projectcomprised the construction andcompletion of four MRT stations(Pasir Panjang, Telok Blangah, HawPar Villa and Labrador Park, the lattertwo being civil-defence stations),HarbourFront Station fit-out works,3.7 km of twin bored tunnels, sixcross passages and three overheadbridges.The 5.8 m diameter twin boredtunnels were constructed by tunnelboring machine. Other worksincluded 640 m of cut-and-covertunnels, civil works, and architecturaland building services for the fourstations. The stations and tunnelsare largely located below busy publicroads and within a built-up corridor.A major challenge in itself, theWith extensivework in Massand Light RapidTransport andurban infrastructure,Sembawang hascontributed greatlyto Singapore beingone of the mostefficient countriesof the world.31 Update > January - August 2012

Sembawang took considerable measuresto minimise environmental impact to theresidents, businesses and the public duringthe construction stage.tunnel had to be excavated throughvariable ground conditions, undershop-houses, close to buildings,pipelines, power cables and gaslines, and finally link to otherunderground stations.Engineering ChallengesThe project was locatedunderground, in a complexgeological strata profile with highlyvariableground conditions thatinvolved excavating highly alternatingsedimentary and alluvial deposits.The ground conditions weremainly sedimentary rock, with highlyvaried weathering conditions. Whiletunnelling hard-rock material, theboring machine often bored intoalluvial soft clay and fluvial sands atclose intervals. As such, the projectteam encountered many mixed-faceconditions when tunnelling and hadto change methodologies frequentlyfor those different situations.The other major challenge wasground-water levels. Tunnellingactivity has the potential to partiallydrain water-laden clay and causedunwanted ground movement andsettlement. Sembawang used threepressure-balanced 6.6 m diameterHerrenknecht earth-pressure-balancetunnel boring machines equippedwith rock cutterheads dressed with41 17-inch cutterdisks to ensureadequate allowance and minimisedisruption when tunnelling. Thewater table was also monitoredclosely and intensively to ensure itwas within tolerable limits.Another major challenge wasthat all the underground siteswere situated below public roadsand existing buildings. In addition,viaducts, utilities, drains and canalswere located within the vicinitiesof the underground sites. Due tosite constraints, Sembawang hadto navigate its way below a rangeof structures, from public roads toresidential housing and commercialblocks. The tunnel alignment ranalong the path of an elevated 3-lanedual carriageway, the West CoastHighway, at one section, passingvery close and between its piledfoundations with less than 2 mclearance from the tunnel boringmachine’s outer curvature to thebored piles of the viaduct pier.Coupled with challengingground conditions and a need forlane-for-lane replacement whendiverting traffic in the affectedareas, the construction works hadto be frequently re-scheduled orre-sequenced. Equipment planningand execution of the works had tobe carried out with care and detail.State-of-the-art monitoring systemswere supplemented with traditionalinstrumentation to keep track ofprogress to ensure the safety ofstructures above and the public ingeneral.Environmental ImpactSembawang took considerablemeasures to minimize environmentalimpact to residents, businesses andthe public during the constructionstage. Careful planning was doneto minimise noise and dust pollutionlevels, which were monitored andUpdate > January - August 201232

kept within limits, when practicable.Equipment designed to keep noiseand vibration to a minimum was usedalong with rescheduling works atappropriate times.Temporary works were alsoconstructed in sequence with theprogress of permanent works tominimise impact on the environment.Public RelationsConstruction activities inevitablyaffect large and varied communities.The complexity of the project alsoaccentuated the importance ofregular community engagementswith the wide range of stakeholdersalong the project vicinity.Sembawang established goodrapport and actively engaged localcommunities and interest groupsto seek their understanding andsupport. To keep in touch withstakeholders, Sembawang organisedprogrammes such as CommunityTalks, Stakeholders’ Site Visits andStakeholders’ Engagement to allowthem to understand our work better.Our public-relation officers weremeticulous in ensuring that ourproject moved with a minimum ofdisturbance to the community. Theydealt with feedback and complaintsfrom the public; planned andcarried out dialogues with propertyowners, residents, ManagementCorporations, Residents Committeesand Citizens ConsultativeCommittees. Newsletters and othermaterial were printed to updateand inform them of the progressof our work and happenings. Ourofficers were also active in mitigatinginconvenience and disputes for thecommunity.33 Update > January - August 2012

FinaleThe Circle Line was built in variousstages. The first stage was openedfor service on 28 May 2009.Sembawang’s section, being the finalstage of the Circle Line, was openedfor service on 8 October 2011.To mark the successfulcompletion of the project,Sembawang jointly organised anevent with Telok Blangah Citizens’Consultative Committee on 17August 2012 at Telok BlangahCommunity Centre to thank theresidential community, clubs andother stakeholders for their supportand active cooperation from startthrough to completion of Circle LineStage 5 Contract 856 construction.The event paid tribute to allstakeholders who had shown greatunderstanding throughout the entireduration of the project, enduring thenoise, dust and vibrations that areinevitably generated from work sitesdue to the nature of constructionwork.
