<strong>Apr</strong>il <strong>2018</strong><br />

From the<br />

Chairman's Desk...<br />

Dear Friends<br />

We have stepped into the Financial Year <strong>2018</strong>-19 and I stand<br />

extremely confident <strong>of</strong> moving ahead as a stronger leaner<br />

organisation.<br />

We have taken a decision to merge into one Corporate Office and this<br />

logistical move has larger implications than a mere seat change – I look at<br />

it as a consolidation <strong>of</strong> sorts. We will now be at one place with greater<br />

accessibility to each other and greater ability to take team decisions. Being<br />

in one place makes me think <strong>of</strong> us as one strong team!<br />

Let's now address our business needs on a war footing and let speed <strong>of</strong><br />

delivery and fast decision making be our motto! I <strong>of</strong>ten see strings <strong>of</strong> mails<br />

being exchanged between teams for petty decisions that either need a phone<br />

call or a single meeting. Our efforts should be directed at getting the work done<br />

without wasting time or energy.<br />

We all - I as a promoter <strong>of</strong> this organisation and you as its ambassador - realise that<br />

ours is a great company. We have come a long way and in the process delivered some exceptional work<br />

globally. Today is the time when all <strong>of</strong> us need to put aside our egos, differences and hierarchy and vigorously<br />

take ownership for our action and responsibility <strong>of</strong> our teams.<br />

This issue <strong>of</strong> <strong>Spirit</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Enterprise</strong> reiterates what this company is capable <strong>of</strong> – great execution by great people.<br />

The people <strong>of</strong> North East are extremely happy with the construction <strong>of</strong> the Sikkim airport in their land-locked<br />

state and people <strong>of</strong> states like Bihar, Chhattisgarh and Odisha thank our company for the national highway<br />

projects that will enhance connectivity. Our Defence project for full body truck scanners will enhance the nation's<br />

security at our borders. Such is the nature <strong>of</strong> our work! We build our nation and other nations too, using quality as<br />

our most precious tool.<br />

Our projects under execution are making good progress and we are continuing to win new orders. If we stay<br />

focussed with a positive, go-getter attitude, we are sure to be back to our leadership position as a global EPC<br />

company.<br />

And this is now in your hands!<br />

Atul Punj<br />

Chairman - Punj Lloyd Group<br />

Best Wishes<br />

Punj Lloyd at the Grand Launch <strong>of</strong> its 15th Milestone Project with<br />

GAIL (India)<br />

As the construction partner for GAIL's 36”dia x 206.6 km Dhamra -<br />

Angul section <strong>of</strong> Jagdishpur-Haldia-Bokaro-Dhamra Pipeline, Punj<br />

Lloyd was invited to the launch ceremony at the proposed pigging<br />

station near Jajpur.<br />

The inauguration <strong>of</strong> the pipeline was done by Honourable Minister<br />

<strong>of</strong> Petroleum & Natural Gas, Skill Development and<br />

Entrepreneurship, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan.<br />

The ambitious 2,655 km long JHBDPL project also known as<br />

'Pradhan Mantri Urja Ganga' project originates at Jagdishpur (Uttar<br />

Pradesh). The main trunk <strong>of</strong> pipeline ends at Haldia (West Bengal)<br />

and Dhamra (Odisha). The pipeline passes through Uttar Pradesh,<br />

Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Odisha.<br />

The project is considered as a major step towards collective<br />

growth and development <strong>of</strong> the Eastern region <strong>of</strong> India. It will<br />

provide clean energy to households and transportation in the cities<br />

en-route the pipeline.<br />

Work on the pipeline has started in full swing.

Irrigation<br />

We recently forayed into the new business <strong>of</strong> irrigation and are extremely proud that our canal lining and<br />

structure work including excavation, embankment, filling for the Gosikhurd National Project in districts <strong>of</strong><br />

Maharashtra is making good headway.<br />

Asian Highway<br />

A 50 m long, 2.7 m wide girder has been launched at our<br />

prestigious Asian Highway Bhutan – Bangladesh Road<br />

project. A very difficult task as soon after the placement <strong>of</strong> the<br />

first girder, the execution team had to be cautious against<br />

buckling and overturning till the second girder was joined. This<br />

is the single longest girder that has ever been erected by Punj<br />

Lloyd and a great feat in the field <strong>of</strong> civil construction.<br />

RAPID<br />

Our ongoing flagship Tankage order, RAPID is making great progress in execution besides surpassing its own<br />

quality and safety milestones at the project. We are the first EPCC in RC that has completed all elements for<br />

HSE in transition readiness.<br />

Hydro testing <strong>of</strong> all 44 tanks and the spheres has been completed. External Painting <strong>of</strong> 37 tanks and<br />

internal painting for 31 has also been completed. The piping erection work is nearly complete. Our RAPID<br />

project team has been consistently demonstrating strong commitment to Quality and Safety which is<br />

evident from the Focused Recognition awards recently received from the<br />

client, Petronas. Punj Lloyd has won the following recognitions:<br />

1. Quality Excellence award - Best Contractor award for the month <strong>of</strong><br />

February <strong>2018</strong> – this is second time that the team has received this<br />

award<br />

2. HSE Excellence award - Best Contractor award for the month <strong>of</strong><br />

November 2017<br />

It is matter <strong>of</strong> pride that Punj Lloyd has topped the charts among reputed<br />

EPC Contractors such as Toyo Engineering, TR Engineering, CCSM, Sinopec and Petr<strong>of</strong>rac. Quality and safety<br />

results demonstrate the team's commitment, focus, untiring efforts and leadership. The Management interacts<br />

regularly with workers through 'We Care We Walk' initiative. Another innovative program, 'VIP lunch' has been<br />

implemented where the team can openly interact on Quality and Safety issues during lunch with the leadership<br />

team. The Management mission is to ensure that every worker returns home safely to his family. Quality Assurance<br />

takes precedence over Quality Control for which the Management is relentlessly driving preventive approach.<br />

The team has recently achieved 15 million manhours at the site.

Outstanding Achievement Award from ORPIC, Oman<br />

ORPIC has awarded Punj Lloyd with the outstanding achievement award for<br />

one million LTI free manhours without lost time injury. In a celebration in Oman, the<br />

client gave away the certificate to the team.<br />

Sikkim Airport passes the test<br />

On 10th March <strong>2018</strong>, a Spicejet flight, Bombardier Q400,<br />

landed safely at the Pakyong airport. A special inspection team<br />

comprising DGCA, AAI and Spicejet technical personnel were<br />

on-board the flight and upon successful landing they jointly<br />

inspected the runway and allied infrastructure. Constructing a<br />

1700 m long runway in the land-locked and mountainous<br />

terrain <strong>of</strong> Sikkim has not been an easy task but our team took<br />

up the challenge and achieved the impossible! This airport will<br />

be one <strong>of</strong> the five highest airports in India. The project won the<br />

'International Project <strong>of</strong> the Year' award at the Ground<br />

Engineering Awards 2012 for the construction <strong>of</strong> a 70 m high<br />

reinforced earth wall, the tallest in the world.
