Project Description
Design of a manufacturing unit for supercritical turbine generators in the 300-800 MW range at Sanand. The Project involves managing heavy loads on buildings and foundations. Heaviest gantry was of 500 ton. Floor loads were up to 35 ton per square meter. Layout and circulation were designed to accommodate oversized components which were required to be transported using 32 wheeler trailer. The Facility aims for a LEED Gold rating for energy efficient and sustainable design. VMS used the building information modeling (BIM) to resolved critical conflict between the building and heavy equipment foundations. As a result, the client was able to place equipment closer to the building’s periphery. This enabled increase in the gangway width and consequently improved operations. Construction permit was secured by VMS in a very short time.
