My second innings at Baroda
This time I landed in Baroda along with family(my wife and first son Raja) and straightaway
occupied 4B Shreyas appt.,Fatehganj, that time the tallest building in Baroda.As I was the manager for Alkan at Baroda,a Ambassador car was provided with driver Mr George. George was a good driver with utmost discipline, polite and punctual while in service. He used to report at 7.30Hrs in the morning and leave the duty from Shreyas at 11.30PM average. This continued until I left Baroda.
To begin with, my job responsibility was to manage instrumentation erection of GOP(that time biggest Olefin plant in India) in IPCL under EIL Overall supervision. though Mr BL Kalra was the overall RCM of EIL at IPCL site,Mr J Rangachari , that time Senior construction superintendent(who became CMD of EIL before his retirement) had exclusive control in managing the cracker complex.Under him he had two construction supdt. -one for cracker and the other for BBH. Alkan's scope in GOP was limited to instrumentation only. As good practice, Alkan engaged the services of Mr AM Baig for all skilled workmen requirements and given as packages for execution.All supervision was under Alkan engineers. Though Mr Hassan was an Alkan Foreman for all electrical related items, he had a working understanding with Baig.
From IPCL side, for contract management M/S Dewaji and Jariwala were the responsible personnel.
From EIL side, M/S MS Rawat and AK Aurora were the instrumentation members to supervise Alkan job performance & progress.
As my classmate Sh R Narayanan initiated this site activity, I had ready made establishment to start with.As luck would have it, a young team of DMITs-M/S Viswakumar, Jagannathan,Muralidharan, Kannan,TG Mohan, D Bhaskaran, Chandrasekharan were core members of my execution team.
Additionally M/S Tiwary, Hassan, N Madhu were the foreman and supervisors. Later M/S Krishna Reddy, Rafiuddin,Ganesh and Bhaktavatsalu joined to reinforce the team. All the DMIT engineers were accomodated in Nandanvan Society at Race course road, Alkapuri and they had a well managed mess to take care of their needs. Mr Viswakumar was my number one deputy and by virtue of his leadership quality, he used to lead the working team both in work front as well as social welfare of the team and work force. Since he has relieved me of day today work tension,I used to focus my time on management, keep liasion with EIL and IPCL folks and oversee Baig's manpower reinforcement issues.Of course Tiwary and Hassan's day today tussles kept me occupied fully.
On the work front I had excellent relation with JR and Rawat but Aurora had complex all the while and thought that a contractor should always be treated as third party.He never showed any respect or value for any of the contract personnel including me and my workmen. But from IPCL side I commanded highest respect from M/S GM Patel and Sashisekharan, the two lead engineers. Sashi, a DMIT, evinced keen interest in handling analyser packages and chromotographs; he took care of all Beckmann packages(remember as 12)all around the complex.He used to directly interface with my team and take care of complete erection/testing and commissioning including the cylinder cabinet/building. Rather Sashi became an analyser expert in his career and later moved to Venezeula.
Sh GM Patel though was reporting to Sh BV Vaishnav, took the virtual control of instrumentation in GOP. Though his tone used to be demanding, he showed highest mutual respect in the job execution.
Understand that he retired from IPCL as the plant manager of cracker complex.
