Mr. Mihir Shah Industrial visit is considered as one of the tactical methods of teaching. The main reason behind this: it lets student to know things practically through interaction, working methods and employment practices. Moreover, it gives exposure from academic point of view. Main aim industrial visit is to provide an exposure to students about practical working environment . They also provide students a good opportunity to gain full awareness about industrial practices. Through industrial visit students get awareness about new technologies. Technology development is a main factor, about which a students should have a good knowledge. After visiting an industry students can gain a combined knowledge about both theory and practical. Students will be more concerned about future after having an industrial visit. DAY 1: Visit to SHANIVAR WADA, Pune Shaniwar wada is a historical fortification in the city of Pune in Maharashtra built in 1732. The Shaniwar wada was originally the seven storied capital building of the Peshwas of the Maratha Empire. It was supposed to be made entirely of stone,but after the completion of the base floor or the first story, building material was replaced by Brick only. The wada was then completed and upon being attacked by the British Artillery 90 years later, all the top six stories collapsed leaving only the stone base, which was immune to the British artillery. Hence only the stone base of the Shaniwar Wada remains and can be seen even today in the older parts of Pune.

Industrial visit is considered as one of the tactical methods of teaching. The main reason behind this: itlets student to know things practically through interaction, working methods and employment practices.Moreover, it gives exposure from academic point of view. Main aim industrial visit is to provide anexposure to students about practical working environment . They also provide students a goodopportunity to gain full awareness about industrial practices. Through industrial visit students getawareness about new technologies. Technology development is a main factor, about which a studentsshould have a good knowledge. After visiting an industry students can gain a combined knowledgeabout both theory and practical. Students will be more concerned about future after having an industrialvisit.
DAY 1: Visit to SHANIVAR WADA, Pune
Shaniwar wada is a historical fortification in the city of Pune in Maharashtra built in 1732. TheShaniwar wada was originally the seven storied capital building of the Peshwas of the Maratha Empire.It was supposed to be made entirely of stone,but after the completion of the base floor or the first story,building material was replaced by Brick only. The wada was then completed and upon being attackedby the British Artillery 90 years later, all the top six stories collapsed leaving only the stone base,which was immune to the British artillery. Hence only the stone base of the Shaniwar Wada remainsand can be seen even today in the older parts of Pune.
DAY 2: Visit to India's first smart city : LAVASA
Lavasa is a private and planned city built near Pune. It is stylistically based on the Italian townPortofino, with a street and several buildings bearing the name of that town. A 25,000 acres (100 km2)or 8,000 acres (32 km2) project being developed by HCC (Hindustan Construction Company). Studentswere explained construction planning of the city by Assistant Manager, HCC.
DAY 3: Visit to BandraWorli Sea Link, Mumbai
The Bandra–Worli Sea Link, officially called Rajiv Gandhi Sea Link, is a cablestayed bridge with prestressed concretesteel viaducts on either side that links Bandra in the Western Suburbs of Mumbaiwith Worli in South Mumbai. The bridge is a part of the proposed Western Freeway that will link theWestern Suburbs to Nariman Point in Mumbai's main business district. The sealink reduces travel timebetween Bandra and Worli during peak hours from 60–90 minutes to 20–30 minutes. The Bandra–Worli Sea Link is the first infrastructure project in Mumbai to use seismic arresters.
Foundation and substructure :The construction of the bridge's structure presented major engineering challenges. These included thehighly variable geo technical conditions due to the underlying marine geology of the seabed. At times,even for plan area of a single pile had a highly uneven foundation bed. Further complications includedthe presence of a variable inter tidal zone, with parts of the foundation bed exposed in low tide andsubmerged in high tide.
The foundations for the BWSL's cablestayed bridges consist of 120 reinforced concrete piles of 2,000millimetres (6.6 ft) diameter. Those for the viaducts consist of 484 piles of 1,500 millimetres (4.9 ft).These 604 piles were driven between 6m and 34m into the substrate in geo technical conditions thatvaried from highly weathered volcanic material to massive high strength rocks.
Pylon tower :The largest pylons for the bridge consist of diamond shaped 128 metres (420 ft) high concrete towerfeaturing flaring lower legs, converging upper legs, a unified tower head housing the stays and acontinuously varying cross section along the height of tower.
No other branch of engineering is much more creative and ingenious as Civil Engineering is.
BENEFITS OF VISIT
Semester 3:Students are able to better identify their prospective areas of work in the overall organizationalfunction. They would be able to identify difference between stone and brick masonry in detail. Visithelped students to enhance their practical knowledge in subject BC (Building Construction). They alsogot idea about the town planning basic concepts, which will be covered in the subject BTP (BuildingTown Planning).
Semester 5:Students of prefinal year would be able to cover all perspectives of town planning as well as design ofimportant structure, which will improve their knowledge of subject SA (Structural Analysis).Construction of cable stayed bridge will help them to understand practical aspects of subject RBTE(Railway, Bridge & Tunnel Engineering).
Semester 7:Final year students of civil engineering will be able to understand detailed design of foundation whichwill be covered in subject FE (Foundation Engineering). This visit will also improve their practicalapplication view in case of critical situation. Understanding the design of Bandra–Worli Sea Link willenhance their skills related to subject DRCS (Design of Reinforced Cement Concrete).
Visit of 3days was totally as per the planned schedule and students enjoyed a lot.
