• Transformers & Rectifiers (India) Limited, Ahmedabad - Moraiya Factory Expansion

- Designed two factory buildings (Capacitor Building & Workshop Building) that were added as part of an expansion to the Existing Factory Campus at Moraiya, Ahmedabad, India.

- Capacitor Building was a 2-story steel framed structure made out of Round Hollow Structural Sections (Round HSS). It had dimensions of 37.85m x 21.5m x 22.17m (Length x Width x Height). The structure was designed as a space truss and was designed for dead loads, equipment loads & wind loads. Primary equipment loads were from Capacitor Banks (that were placed on a concrete floor supported by metal decks at a height of 10m from the Factory Floor). Coordinated with steel detailers during shop drawing generation. DXF wrap files were generated for ends of all Round HSS members.

- Workshop building was a 2-story RCC framed building which was partly supported on existing foundations (of an adjacent building which was demolished above plinth level) and partly supported on new pile foundations. Designed the RCC frame structure and pile foundations for the building. The building had dimensions of 25m x 30m x 15.5m and was supporting six small gantry cranes ranging from 2 Metric Tons (MT) to 5 MT on the first and second stories of the building.

• Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT) International Center, Gandhinagar. Project Website & Photo Gallery : http://www.giftcityclub.com/gallery

- GIFT International Center (GIC) is a Premier Business Club Building located at GIFT City, Gandhinagar in the central green space. It is a 10-story Building (with 2 Basements + Ground Floor + 7 floors). The building has a height of approx. 35.5m. It has plan dimensions of 155m x 45m up to 2nd Floor and has plan dimensions of 104m x 28.6m above it.

- Managed a team of junior structural engineers to complete the structural design and drawings of the GIC building.

- Coordinated extensively with the Client, Architects and other consultants for the design inputs and with the Design Approval Consultants (appointed by GIFT Authorities) during the structural design approval process.

- Designed four connected cellular water tanks made of RCC in the Basement of the building using Finite Element Analysis in STAAD Pro.

- Designed mat foundation in the Central Segment of the building using Finite Element Analysis in WORK

- Prepared Structural Calculations and Drawings and got them approved by Design Review Consultants for the following components of the project: (i) 6m wide Steel Approach Bridge of 65m length, consisting of 2 spans of 32.25m each. (ii) RCC Control Building having dimensions of 21.25m x 13m x 6m Ht. and (iii) A 13.7m Ext. Dia. RCC Circular Pump house with a RCC Dome Roof on top of the Circular Intake Well. (iv) 50m x 15m x 19m Pump house and RCC Water Sump Structure.

- Above Calculations were prepared using STAAD Pro and in-house Excel spreadsheets.

- Coordinated extensively with Larsen & Toubro Ltd. and their subcontractors during the conceptual planning for the project as well as to resolve issues during construction and Well Sinking.

• Designed steel bridges for trolley and live loads with spans ranging from 25m to 32m for three other Intake Well Projects similar to the 25MGD Project described above. Also designed, Pump house Building of dimensions 14m x 10.5m x 13.5m over the Intake well. The building had a RCC Frame with Castellated Steel Girders to support the Metal Sheet Roof. The building was covered with Insulated Metal Sheets supported on steel members welded to embed plates in RCC Columns.

• Narmada Canal-30 (NC-30) Pump house and Sump

- Performed structural calculations for the design of a 200m long inlet channel for taking water from the Canal to the Pump house. The inlet channel consisted of Two RCC Boxes (4m x 3.6m dimensions each). Designed for hydrostatic, earth pressure and live loads.

- Designed NC-30 Pump house and Sump structure. The pump house was a RCC Frame Building of dimensions 50m x 19m x 20m ht. Building was designed using STAAD Pro.
