Project Management

15

Challenges

• To take off for a large & prestigious requirement from a very
simply worded, but very sound and extremely challenging
brief to execute and establish.

• Select and choose methodically a site and the team with a
clear focus of all stakeholders so that the vision of SEL
management and Synefra the Project Managers were in total
alignment.

• To create a space, which was not just an office, but an area
which will personify the vision of its leader, the mission of
the company and the core business of the group – Powering a
greener tomorrow, today.

16

Project Strategy & Management

• Direction / Approach
o Deliberation & decision of what, who, how & when of the project
o Project programming with respect to needs, stakeholders /
partners and milestones
o Set a very focused and precise action plan

• Dedicated Project Management team formed to capture & imbibe
the company requirement and prepare precise briefs for all designers

18

Project approach – Design briefs

• Development of Design brief :
o Project Architecture design brief
o Project Services design brief
o Project Interior Architecture design brief
o Project Communication design brief

• Help reduce input time for each stakeholder and help them deliver
an output much superior than expected

• Reduced the otherwise high level of initial energy which gets
drained in negotiating through the clutter & change in ideas

• Approval sought from SEL at various stages of data assimilation and
preparation of brief for each discipline
19

Formation of Project Task Force

Based on the requirements of the Design briefs, an appropriate team got
established at various stages of the project as per expertise required:

o Strategic Synefra project team – Project owner, project
manager, finance controller, site management team
o Developer – To build base infrastructure with services & landscape
o Architect – To conceive the building and develop design as per brief
o Construction contractor – For execution & construction of cold shell as
per the design envelope
o Interior design build company – For effective justice to the cold shell
and a functional yet classic interior architecture
o Communication designer – For a total space experience, memory
points, branding and signage to enhance the architecture
o Design coordinator – For complete synergy between all designers and
harmony of ideas during execution

20

Change Management

• Change Management - As Suzlon became larger, business plans grew
and requirements changed significantly -
o From talking green to demonstrating green
o From a place to work to an inspiring place to work
o No. of people from 1500 to 2500 and their functional requirements
o Introduction of shared services – 24x7 operations
o Belief structure replaced by Values
o Technology advancement in operations, Information
Technology, Audio-Visual, etc.
This changed project parameters, scale and design criteria.

• Consistent focus, managing change, adaptation to circumstances and
the flexibility of approach were the keys to stay on track.

Design Management

23

Design Management

Design Selection – with criteria as to:
o What is it that we want to achieve through the design?

o What are the indicators which would help in the enabling objectives
and how to recognize them?

o What is the message that we wish to convey through the design to
all its stakeholders which would represent the client’s vision.

To align all designers to the Client’s expectations,
the project vision, objectives and deliverables
was a phenomenal process and for which
Synefra Strategic team became a key catalyst and an enabler.

24

Project management approach for design

• Started with Interactions with senior management, business
vertical heads & HR team

• With Senior management – Values, business vertical structure, business
needs, significance of facility in global business, future plans

• With Business Vertical heads – team function, hierarchy and
nos., archiving requirement, special requirements like
studios, library, control rooms, etc.

• With HR team – final nos., defining work areas as per
team/group/position functions, allocation of space/floor/building to
respective business units, and common facilities like
cafeteria, gym, clinic, etc. as per Admin policies

• Along with company requirements, facilities for all kinds of users
were mapped, established and considered in design which were
approved and signed off for execution 25

Alignment of the Design Process

Purpose Result
• Built to suit model All requirements set forth in the brief
• Studying the design to match needs document were achieved in the Design,
• Achieve satisfaction first on paper including the brief of the Green
• Ensure design & technical aspects Building
• Efficient costs and effective design

Action: Design drawings were screened with respect to:

Functional Vaastu Construction Local Rules & Criteria for Cost & Time
Requirements Compliances Technology Regulations Green buildings implications

Sustainable Approach for Construction

Comprehensive planning for construction created a wide path for the
execution team taking a batten from design team. Key areas of
construction management are mentioned below:
• People Management & the integration of knowledge & technology
with project planning

• Fundamentals of Project planning were followed emphasizing “Plan,
Organize, Lead and Monitor”

• Procurement process considering the aspects of QS, sustainable
options, logistics, properties, impacts, cash flows, ABC analysis & life
cycle costing.

• Execution with appropriate sequencing, time management, processes
including ISO norms, EHS norms, quality checklists, execution checklists,
etc.
50
50

Sustainable Approach for Construction

• Quality control, checks, assessments & audits on predefined
timeline throughout the project life cycle for improvement in all
aspects

• Timely reviews and feedbacks through regular review meetings at
site along with all key stakeholders

• Appropriate skill up-gradations & capacity building through
trainings & appropriate inputs to the engineers and supervisors on
site

• Labour welfare activities in co-ordination with CSR team, NGOs, etc.

51
51

Environment Management Plan Implementation

• Site barricading to define boundaries & prevent damage to neighborhood.
• Excavation- Top Soil preservation / excess soil disposal / handling / reuse.
• Erosion & sedimentation control during construction- planning for drain
lines below terminus level.
• Sprinkling water on roads at pre-decided frequencies to prevent pollution
of the air.
• Spill prevention- Use of trays, etc. as per the need for DG sets / pumps &
other equipments during handling of oil.
• Waste management during construction- segregation / storage / disposal
of waste, etc.
• Water use minimization- use of sedimentation tank to reuse the water at
central batching plant, use of curing compounds / covering the concrete
surfaces by Hessian cloth / gunny bags as applicable to reduce the need of
overall water requirement. 52
52

Concern for Construction Workers

• It was a culture at One Earth construction site to consider all the
stakeholders like family members irrespective to their economic class,
gender and race. All the construction team members were treated with
equal care and respect. The project team demonstrated a unique example
of a care which any construction company can practice for their workers.
Few of the initiatives taken at site are mentioned as under:

• Crèche & School facility during construction for the construction
worker’s children with nutritious mid-day meal facility.
• Regular health checkups– Periodic blood tests for blood groups /
hemoglobin / malaria etc. of all construction workers and their
children.
• Onsite medical facility (Doctor & dispensary across the road)
available 24x 7.

53
53

Concern for Construction Workers

• Hygienic Sanitation facility on site with state of the art temporary toilets
and their regular maintenance and management by a professional agency.
Other services included daily housekeeping & garbage collection systems,
provision of appropriate fire fighting facility, safe drinking water
provisions, sufficient lighting, security etc.

• Improvement in conventional cooking methods- Training & facilitation to
the workers for making the smokeless chullahs for cooking needs.
Distribution of the same free of cost.

• Pure drinking water supply & sanitation facility at labour camp.
