DETAILS OF CONSTRUCTION:
The construction process and the details involved in the
construction of Bella Vista are listed below,
Levelling: Like in case of any other building, the first step in
constructing Bella Vista was levelling survey. The Bench Mark was
obtained from the general road level and the ground was dug in
the barren ground. Some places had to be filled while some
places had to be dug. At the end of levelling, the required uniform
height was obtained throughout the entire area. (A marginal
height is maintained from the height of the road in order to avoid
water draining into the structure from the roads during monsoon)
Piling: The foundation of Bella Vista is provided entirely using piles
and pile work. Piles can be of many types and the method of
Piling can be of many types. In Bella Vista more than one type of
pile and method of piling has been adopted depending on the
role and need of the pile.
Cast-in-situ piles are made by digging a hole to the required
depth. Then the reinforcements of the aluminium struts are
inserted and concrete is poured into it and allowed to harden
(Augur piles). Some of the piles were pre-cast ones and were
driven inside using tripod hammering. The top of the piles are
covered with a pile cap which assists in transferring the load from
the structure to the piles.
The dimensions of the pile cap are 900 x 3700 x 750 cubic mm.
The height of the pile depends upon its location and the nature of
the structure that is to be built above it.
Mat foundation: A mesh work is done with steel bars for the
building to stand on. This is useful when the topography is uneven.
Prestige Bella Vista has adopted this type of foundation also in
some places.
Raft slab: On top of the pile caps, mesh works of steel rods are
placed and concrete is poured to make the raft slab. The details
of the type of rod to be used and the spacing required between

blocks 19, 20 and 21 which are single bedroom flats, have 12 flats
in a floor.
The designs of the first three floors are different from the structure
of the rest of the floors. The reason attributed to the fact that these
floors bear more dead loads above them as compared to the
higher floors.
Aluminium Shuttering: Prestige Bella Vista is the first project in
Chennai to adopt aluminium shuttering in its construction. The
walls of the apartments are made by this process. The wall
thicknesses used are 150mm, 125mm and 175mm. The structures
being load bearing structures transfer all the loads to the walls. The
components used are as follows,
Rocker
Wall Panel
Wall Top
SL - Soffit length
CT prop ( Collapsible tube)
CT head
Wall ties
Pins and Wedges
Cover Block ( used to hold the rod in place when concrete is
poured with high force )
Wall cover ( used to hold concrete at the perfect thickness)
Tie rod
L - Waler
Door Spacer
Beam Bar

Highly economical
Time saving
Quick drying
Lesser time for curing
Easier than block and masonry work
Does not require plastering
Man labour required is much less compared to block work.
The alignment from one floor to another is done with the help of
Dowell rods.
All the mother slabs separating floors are 2-way slabs.
Punning: For Aluminium Shuttered walls plastering as in the usual
cases is not required. Instead, an easier method called Gypsum
punning is adopted. In this method, white coloured Gypsum is
used to even the surface of the walls. It is to be noted that this is
possible only on the inner walls. If applied on the outer walls also it
would get washed away during rains because gypsum is soluble in
large amount of water and hence it tends to be washed away.
After punning, it should be verified with a plumb bob that the wall
is perfectly straight along the surface. Minimum of 12mm gypsum
is to be provided. Retarders are added to increase the setting

does not catch fire up to very high temperatures and hence when
people escape through the stairs, the fire if any would stay
concealed to the lobby.
Civil details for Earthquake Resistance: One among the major
promises of Bella Vista is the fact that the buildings are earthquake
resistant. The civil detailing done are the 90 degree and 135
degree bend and horns in the end of stirrups. This helps in shifting
the load and makes the reinforcement stronger. It is important to
note here that the weakest point during seismic waves is the
column beam joint. This joint is strengthened by providing rods with
anchorage that have a small anchorage length inside the other
member called the development length. Stirrups bear the lateral
and shear forces in the beam. Hence beams have more stirrups in
the ends than at the centre. They also take care of the
compressive forces if the beam acts as a truss.
The engineer with the least factor of safety is considered the best
and economical because the building is both safe and can be
constructed for a comparatively lower price. It is to be noted here
that factor of safety cannot be less than an accepted minimum.
About Bar Bending Scheduling: The BBS department plays a very
important role in minimizing the expenditure, usage and wastage
of steel used in the construction. Steel reinforcement is given in
pile caps, raft slabs and some retaining walls. In BBS the shape,
length and number of steel rods required for construction is
calculated tentatively keeping in mind that the project is huge
and what seems to be a minor loss in one component would
multiply by many times and end up as a huge loss for the project.
The shapes of the rods to be used and the shape in which they
are to be obtained are worked out and the solution with minimum
wastage or reusable wastage is adopted.
Total steel consumption (APPROX) for Bella Vista is 19,400 M Tones
at the cost of Rs. 48,000 per M tone.
After the purchase, bending and installation of rods, the loss is
calculated and compared with the minimum allowable loss. Also
it is to be noted here that the wasted steel can be sold back at

STORES:
Supply chain management
1. Store keeping and material preservation
2. Inventory accounting and MIS reporting
3. Logistics
SHELF LIFE AND MATERIAL PRESERVATION:
Efficient materials management in a project calls for integrated
approach covering numerous functions such as materials
planning, purchasing, inventory control, store keeping,
warehousing, codification, standardisation and disposal of
excesses.
In material preservation the self-life of the materials needs to be
considered. For example when kept dry, Portland cement will
retain its quality indefinitely. However bagged cement that's
stored for long periods in dry atmosphere can develop what's
called a warehouse pack, a mechanical compaction that makes
it lumpy. This can be corrected by rolling the bags on the floor to
break up the lumps.
Calibration of the volume and weight measuring equipment is
made mandatory by the government to ensure accuracy of
measurements. It refers to Specific types of measurements
performed on measurement standards, material measures and
measuring instruments to establish the relationship between the
indicated values and known values of a measured quantity
carried out using appropriate reference equipment in any
location.

CONCLUSION:
Prestige Bella Vista has set the sky lines of Chennai higher
than expected. What could have been yet another set of
apartments now stands out among other projects in Chennai
because of the uniqueness adopted in the technology used for
planning, constructing and implementing. Prestige Bella Vista has
re-defined urban lifestyle.
From Bella Vista it is evident that Civil engineering is a vast
area and Civil Engineers play a very important role in the society.
Working on it from scratch to what is seen scraping the skies; the
engineers of L&T have proven the uniqueness vein in them.
The towers of Bella Vista also stand as an example speaking
the importance and the influence of improved technology on the
society. It is a proof that conventional methods of construction
need not always be the only path for a strong and safe building.
It would barely suffice to call Prestige Bella Vista " A small
world in itself " because the amenities, facilities and the urban life
system furnished inside the houses talk more than just that
because,
You have to see it to believe it
