Location: INH, Saltlake, Kolkata
Client: Government of India
Project Description:
The project involved the retrofitting and rehabilitation of the existing infrastructure at the Institute of National Importance (INH), Saltlake, Kolkata. The aim was to enhance the structural stability, address existing deficiencies, and upgrade the facility to meet modern safety and performance standards without disrupting its operational functions.
Scope of Work:
- Structural Assessment:
- Conducted a detailed survey and assessment of the existing structure to identify weak points and areas needing reinforcement.
- Retrofitting and Strengthening:
- Designed and implemented retrofitting solutions using advanced materials like fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) and high-strength concrete.
- Strengthened structural elements such as columns, beams, and slabs to meet updated load and seismic requirements.
- Design and Execution:
- Developed customized retrofitting strategies to ensure compatibility with the original design.
- Executed the retrofitting work with precision, minimizing disruptions to ongoing activities.
- Safety Enhancements:
- Incorporated seismic resistance features to align with updated building codes and safety regulations.
- Quality Control:
- Ensured rigorous quality checks and adherence to standards at every stage of the retrofitting process.
