Developing Strategic Safety Guidelines for Pier Construction and U-Girder Erection in Elevated Metro Projects

Abstract

Visited the Larsen and Toubro Construction Metro project site location in Chennai, India where around 500 workers were working on this 10 km project. This Larsen and Toubro private limited core specialized service is the construction of the metro project. Larsen and Toubro is having many other services also other than construction services. In this metro project construction of Bridge, Track, Station works & TPSS (Traction power substation) are being carried out. Construction of an elevated metro project site involved several activities that are both routine and non-routine. It was observed that two major risk activities and choose the routine activities that are carried out on a daily basis on the live road. Pier Construction, Pier Cap, U Girder Transportation and Erection activities are risky activities that involve public and machinery movement. Executing this activity without causing any lost time, injuries, or property damage to the public is a very challenging task. To address these hazards, I provided the suitable control measures based on my observation & Recommendations. These recommendations were aimed at reducing the risks and hazards involved and ensuring the safety of everyone involved in the project. I worked closely with the site execution team and engineers to coordinate the implementation of these Control measures. The controls that were put in place to reduce the risks and hazards associated with the activities mentioned were carefully considered, and most of them have been successfully implemented. I am confident that these measures will be effective in mitigating the risks and hazards associated with the pier and pier cap erection activity. The successful implementation of these control measures is crucial in mitigating the risks and hazards associated with the pier and pier cap erection activity. It's also impressive to note that these measures are improving time management, increasing production, and ensuring the topmost safety of the workers.
