About company Infra Support is a professionally managed multi disciplinary organization providing engineering consultancy services in the field

of Infrastructure, Transportation and Development projects. There can be many rationales for the existence of an organization, but for Infra support there is only one rationale to provide excellence oriented services to build world-class infrastructure.

Infra support has a dynamic team who has vast and rich experience in diversified fields of infrastructure development. Be it Highways, Expressways, Municipal Roads, Transport Planning, Pavement Management, infrastructure development, Area Development, Housing Development the list goes on.

Infra support has provided services for many projects in India and abroad. We have long list of satisfied clients ranging from Pvt. Companies to Govt. organizations.

Effective project management and construction supervision is a key aspect in completing the project successfully. Transferring designs and drawings to reality, finding solutions to field problems, construction planning, executing with high precession and completing within the stipulated time is the essence of construction supervision and project management. Infra support PMC team enables clients to focus on their core business, with the assurance that their project goals will be successfully achieved. We ensure that a qualified and dedicated team of professionals is assembled to suit the specific project needs. We then provide a focal point for the client, ensuring clear communication, overall quality control and simplified project administration.

About Project It is a facility for the Karnataka police department for training recruits, the project comprises of building various buildings required for the same purpose. It has a spread of 32 acres, it is divided

into many phases out of which dining block, admin block, hostel block and parade ground are being constructed at first phase.

Internship Activities 1.Quality control monitoring 2.Quantity Estimation of dining block 3.Planning of dining block using msp

Quality control monitoring Quality control during construction consists largely of ensuring conformance to the original design and specifications, which were agreed on during planning of the facility. QC monitoring was done for following 1. Concreting 2. Plastering 3. Tile laying 4. Masonry 5. Windows Concreting The following components were checked before concreting 1. Shuttering Inspection 2. Steel placement 3. Concrete placement 4. Curing of concrete

1. Shuttering Inspection Shuttering is a temporary support provided for placing Steel reinforcement and to provide a platform for laying green concrete and supporting the same till concrete hardens and gains design strength. The quality of surface finish of hardened concrete depends on the surface of shuttering, as green concrete takes the shape of shuttering, so it is necessary to have a smooth surface of shuttering without any deformities, any leakages of slurry will result in honey combing of concrete resulting in loss of strength. Shuttering was made out of MS steel plates supported on steel jacks and acrospans as compression and flexure members respectively. Visual inspection was carried to check the following a. Deformities of the plates b. Beam dimensions c. Possible slurry leakages

Corrective measures adopted a. Deformed plates are replaced or hammered to correct deformity b. Beam dimensions are checked for breadth and with of the beam according to structural drawings. c. Possible Slurry leakage points were covered using masking tape and fillers.

2. Steel Reinforcement checking R.C.C is a composite material of steel and cement concrete. Steel takes the tension concrete takes compression, there by maintaining equilibrium. There for inspection of steel is very important to check if the placement of steel is according to the drawings & conforming to IS codes. Steel was checked for following a. Diameter and length of steel as per drawings b. Rusting of steel c. Cover blocks d. Presence of dirt or debris e. Provision of chairs or spacers f. Lapping length

Corrective measures adopted a. Checked for diameter and length if they are provided as per drawing or if there are any deviations. b. Rust is removed by brushing using wire brushes c. Cement cover blocks of M40 strength was used to provide clear cover at the rate of 8 per square meter. d. Dirt and debris were removed using brush and manually

e. Chairs were provided in roof steel to maintain the spacing between top and bottom reinforcement 3. Concrete Placement Placing of concrete is a very important operation, concrete starts setting as soon as it comes into contact with water, so the concrete has to be placed at the required place as soon as it is mixed with water. At site RMC Ready mix concrete was used which was delivered to site using transit mixers and placed using boom placer or concrete pump. Concrete is densified using a needle vibrator of 60mm size and by using a finishing trowel surface is leveled A small rod is bent to the required thickness and checked for thickness of concrete. The following were checked during concreting. a. Slump of concrete b. Batching sheet of concrete

Corrective measures adopted if non-conformance 1. Slump required for placement of concrete is 80-100 mm, if there is a marginal higher slump than specified, transit mixer was rotated vigorously to reduce the slump, if there was a very high slump then the truck was rejected, similarly if the slump is lower than specified range truck was rejected and sent back to the batching plant. 2. Batching sheet was checked for the contents as per specified concrete mix design, and time of mixing was checked if it is not too late before it is placed, i.e 1 hour after mixing if without admixture and 3 hours with addition of admixtures.

4. Curing of concrete Concrete takes 28 days to gain its full strength after mixing. Curing is carried out to ensure the cement hydrates fully and gains its design strength. Curing for columns was done by tying a jute cloth around columns and wetting them periodically to control temperature. Slabs were cured by ponding method, water was being filled up in the temporary bunds periodically. Shuttering were removed after 3 days after concrete placement and for slabs shuttering were removed after 14 days after concrete placement.
