Social Impact of Projects

• Projects have both POSITIVE and NEGATIVE impacts

• Social Issues and their impact associated with a project in a developing

country like India could be completely different from Developed Nations

• Every project is UNIQUE, so are the Social Impacts associated

• Bottom of the Pyramid is impacted the most

Project Management

16

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.

18

Project Strategy & Management

• Direction / Approacho Deliberation & decision of what, who, how & when of the project o Project programming with respect to needs, stakeholders /

partners and milestoneso 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

19

Project approach – Design briefs

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

20

Based on the requirements of the Design briefs, an appropriate team gotestablished 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 & landscapeo Architect – To conceive the building and develop design as per briefo Construction contractor – For execution & construction of cold shell as

per the design envelopeo Interior design build company – For effective justice to the cold shell

and a functional yet classic interior architectureo Communication designer – For a total space experience, memory

points, branding and signage to enhance the architectureo Design coordinator – For complete synergy between all designers and

harmony of ideas during execution

Formation of Project Task Force

21

• 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 worko No. of people from 1500 to 2500 and their functional requirementso Introduction of shared services – 24x7 operations o Belief structure replaced by Valueso 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

24

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.

Design Management

25

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

26

Purpose

• Built to suit model • Studying the design to match needs• Achieve satisfaction first on paper• Ensure design & technical aspects• Efficient costs and effective design

Action: Design drawings were screened with respect to:

Sustainability Features at One Earth

• Sustainability has to be an objective from the concept stage and then embedded in every design aspect

• Sustainable solution and practices are integrated towards efficiency in:

o ENERGY USE

o WATER USE

o WASTE MANAGEMENT

o MATERIALS USE

o HEALTHY AIR QUALITY

o OPERATING PRACTICES

• Sustainability is the hallmark of this project while the result is an inspiring place to work. Achievements then speak for themselves.

Comprehensive planning for construction created a wide path for theexecution team taking a batten from design team. Key areas ofconstruction 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

Sustainable Approach for Construction

51

• 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

Sustainable Approach for Construction

52

• 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

Environment Management Plan Implementation

53

• 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

Concern for Construction Workers

54

• 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.
