Project Overview:
Dhanvi Infracon Pvt. Ltd. undertook a prestigious industrial project for Spectrum Cable Tech, a leading name in the manufacturing of electronics and electrical cables. The facility aimed to be a benchmark in terms of infrastructure, automation, and environmental standards, aligning with both national and international manufacturing protocols. The scope of the project involved end-to-end construction of the manufacturing plant, from conceptual design to commissioning of structural and utility systems. Our team tackled various complexities to deliver a state-of-the-art production hub focused on scalability, safety, and efficiency.
Key Features:
- Advanced Industrial Layout: Optimized for streamlined cable production lines and material handling.
- High-Performance Materials: Use of corrosion-resistant steel and pre-engineered buildings (PEB) for longevity.
- Smart Energy Integration: Rooftop solar panels and energy-saving ventilation systems.
- Robust Utility Systems: Integrated HVAC, dust filtration, and automated fire safety systems.
Construction Technologies Used:
- Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEB): Enabled faster construction timelines with modular precision.
- Building Information Modeling (BIM): Used for design clash detection and smooth project coordination.
- SCADA Systems: Installed for monitoring critical plant operations.
- Smart Concrete & Steel Reinforcements: For increased structural integrity and load-bearing capacity.
- Zero-Discharge Systems: Integrated effluent treatment (ETP) to align with sustainability goals.
Challenges Faced:
- Precision Layout Planning: The plant required exact spacing for different cable manufacturing lines which demanded millimeter-level accuracy.
- Weather-Dependent Milestones: Monsoon delays in foundation laying and structural installation phases.
- Technological Synchronization: Integrating civil work timelines with imported machinery installation.
- Compliance: Ensuring the facility met ISO, RoHS, and other industry certifications in terms of safety and emissions.
Advantages of the Project:
- Strategic Location & Logistics Design: Improved internal movement and external dispatch of finished goods.
- Energy Efficiency: Up to 30% reduction in power consumption through efficient lighting and cooling.
- Worker-Friendly Spaces: Ergonomic working stations and natural lighting provisions enhanced productivity.
- Scalability: Provision for 2X future expansion without interrupting existing operations.
Disadvantages or Limitations:
- High Initial Investment: Use of advanced technologies increased capital cost.
- Dependency on Imported Systems: Installation delays due to shipping and customization issues.
- Complex Permit Acquisition: Time-consuming government approvals for hazardous cable material zones.
Future Plans & Scope:
- Phase 2 Expansion: Provision to expand the built-up area by 60% for new product lines (optical fiber, armored cables).
- AI Integration: Implementing AI-based quality control in manufacturing workflows.
- Sustainability Goals: Achieving LEED Platinum rating by adding green building elements and water recycling systems.
- Training Centers: Establishing a training hub for skilled and semi-skilled workers focused on cable technologies.
Construction Management Approach:
- Dedicated Project Manager: Oversaw each execution phase and stakeholder communication.
- Agile Project Phasing: Milestones broken into agile sprints to prevent downtime.
- 24×7 Monitoring: Onsite supervisors and CCTV-based time-lapse documentation.
- Vendor Coordination: Real-time coordination with machinery suppliers and internal electricians for sync-up.
Conclusion:
The Spectrum Cable Tech manufacturing facility stands as a testament to Dhanvi Infracon Pvt. Ltd.’s capability in delivering high-end industrial infrastructure. Through the integration of smart technologies, sustainable construction practices, and precision execution, the project represents not just a factory but a vision of industrial excellence.
