Project Planning & Scheduling of

Road Electrification - Raipur Development Authority
About RDA
Chhattisgarh Government is committed towards enhancing the lifestyle of the citizens with Socio
Economic Reforms & Good Governance. To build Raipur as a Smart city, the Chhattisgarh Government is
developing one of the largest Town Development schemes in the country known as Kamal Vihar
encompassing the Smart Facilities. The Capital City, Raipur is an important Commercial destination for
Clothes, Jewellery, Steel, Cement and Minerals. It serves as a regional hub for variety of Agricultural &
Forest products
Mission & Vision of RDA Project

The project strives for the social betterment and development of Kamal Vihar area.
As per tender document(s) the earnest money package: Rs. 50 Lakh / 35 Lakh / 30 Lakh respectively
(Money Paid to confirm a contract)
The Tender for development of various sectors in Kamal Vihar area was floated in May 2011. L&T bags
the contract and project incepted in December 2011.
Objectives of the Project

Development work of Kamal Vihar T.D.S. 04 Road, Road crossing, underground pipe drains, sewerage,
water supply and external electrification with underground cabling including defect liability fo r three
years

Political Feasibility
Chhattisgarh has a track record of Stable government since 2003 (11Years).
Stable government for the next four years

State Government has very promising tax laws
Tax incentives for Micro, Small and Medium Services enterprises for example Exemption of
Electricity Duty, Exemption of Stamp Duty
Economic Feasibility
GSDP has grown at rate of 14.5% on YOY basis over the past two years.
To endeavour significant investments, Government of Chhattisgarh has provided efficient

policies such as Industrial policy, IT and ITES Policy, Education and Health Policy. You can
download the policies online or Contact us for an electronic copy
Social Acceptance
Chhattisgarh Government is determined
To ensure adequacy of health infrastructure and health systems and to develop Human
resources for health care.
To ensure universal access to comprehensive primary health care.
To ensure equity in delivery of quality health care services.
Technical Viability
Chhattisgarh Government is determined
Developing ECO system for Knowledge Economy in Chhattisgarh.
Promoting Chhattisgarh as an Investment Destination.

Very Lucrative and efficient service sector policy particularly IT and ITES pol icy.
Milestones of RDA
The project took off in December 2011, followed by Planning and design by BuildKraft architects.
Electrification project started in parallel to the Road Laying.

Critical Events of the Projects
The critical events are highlighted in the figure above.
Commissioning Process
A solid understanding of the commissioning (Cx) process what it is and how it works
It can provide a range of benefits for building owners and facility managers. Commissioning is a process
designed to optimize the built environment for energy efficiency, leading to reduced energy costs and
enhanced building performance. It is also a way to verify that a new buildings processes operate
according to the owners project requirements (OPR).
The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) defines Cx as a
quality-oriented process for achieving, verifying and documenting that the performance of facilities,
systems and assemblies meets defined objectives and criteria. Cx is the integration of the planning,
delivery, verification and risk management of a buildings functions. It is not another layer or step in the
design-build process; rather, it is a means to produce buildings that do everything they are supposed to
do throughout the buildings life cycle.
What Commissioning Does
One easy way to illustrate the effects of commissioning is to compare a building to a human body. Both
have an outer layer of skin that protects the inner functions from the elements. Both have an electrical
system, a heating and cooling system, a frame to support their weight, and even a plumbing system as
well as a distinctive personality expressed by their appearance.
Cx produces a monetary and emotional return on investment with reduced energy costs and peace of
mind in the form of reduced change orders, reduced contractor claims, reduced contractor callbacks,
avoided project delays, improved project scheduling, improved documentation development and
improved communications to keep the project team focused on properly turning over a facility.
Other benefits include a more comfortable environment for building occupants, improved air quality,
increased reliability and uptime, reduced maintenance and longer life cycles for building equipment. Cx
can be implemented with many systems across a range of projects and at any stage of a facilitys life cycle
Steps for Erection and Commissioning:
Erection of HT transformer ( 33/11KV)

Transmission line availability check from 33KV Sub Station
Tapping of Power to HT Transformer
Soaking of 33KV Transformer
Erection of 11KV HT Panels
HT Cable Laying from LT Side of the Transformer
Commissioning of the HT Panel
No load Charging of the HT Panel
Erection of Emergency DG Set
Erection and Commissioning of LT Kiosk and LT Panels
Erection and Commissioning of Feeder Pillars
Cable Laying for LT Transformers from feeder pillars
Cable Laying till the street lights
Erection and Commissioning of Light Poles, J Poles and Street Lights and Lighting DB
The above mentioned steps complete the Erection and Commissioning of Street Lights for a particular
Sector.

Power can be tapped from LT Kiosks to other sectors and accordingly the cable laying and erection of
street lights have to be completed sector wise
Reasons for Delay in lighting project
Cable laying for different sectors could not be done on time and out of the planned 1986Km of
cable laying, only 16Km of cable laying was completed.
This was due to various reasons like material availability, coordination problem, and several
sectors starting at different times.
Erection of transformers was not completed in many sectors which led to power unavailability
for those particular sectors.
The activities which can be crashed are Erection of equipment and commissioning of equipment.

Key Findings
Project Management Consultants hired after the starting of Project.
There was a lack of coordination between RDA, Architects, L&T & Consultants. A better rapport
among them would have fostered to complete the project with in stipulated time.
Because of different sectors starting in different times, there was a huge lapse incurred during the
project.

Though Kamal Vihar project was intended to make significant development, the land prices hiked
steeply due to the same, making it unaffordable to a common man.
Recommendations
PMC should be a key stake-holder in planning of the Project. Hiring of PMC should have been
done during start of the project. Also, cost of the PMC tender was identified as the key element
of choosing. The other parameters should also have been given more importance.
Integration of MIS among the stakeholders would have avoided information asymmetry. In
developed nations, all the stakeholders are well informed about one another.
All the sub-projects should work in tandem in order to avoid time and cost overrun.
