Hazira ph1 project experience
My return to project department at HQ posed different problem to the project management. Originally I was recruited as Manager-Instrumentation but on return the top management have recommended that I should shoulder higher responsibility and to be exposed to more disciplines. But at the same time, since I am not a chemical engineer by qualification the local management had hesitation to assign me any plant area project management. After due deliberations they have assigned me the project management of Tank farm,Hazira.
To start with no one in the group had any idea about the complications&challenges involved in tank farm project execution. Considering the back ground association, the company hired the services of M/S Humphreys&Glasgow as engineering consultant for utilities, offsite and tank farm. Mr HP Rangaraj, a veteran in projects with civil engg. qualification took the Utilities&offsite leaving the Tank Farm for my scope. However we functioned as joint team since offsite cover tank farm area also. Giving value to customer, H&G have deployed Mr Subash Deshpande as PM and given him a strong team to perform. Our association with H&G was an open house and free to interact at any level to derive our end objective and goals.
From Reliance side process support was extended by Dr JV Kelkar, Dr SP Kedar and Samir Karnik.
Civil engg. was supervised by Mr Bijurkar assisted by Anil P Chaudhary and Ms Rijuta. Mechanical and piping were coordinated by Mr N R Prakash &team- M/S BN Acharya, Asish Banerjee. The group had the services of Mr SC Gupta, assisted by Vipsy Engineer, Milind Deshpande, Dutta, Shanbaug for all electrical requirements including CPP and MRS; later Mahesh chand joined to reinforce the strength..
To strengthen Tank farm project team,AR has recruited M/S AVN Murthy, Sameer Pandya, SM Pathak, SK Sharma &Manpreet Singh. Sh Yanamandra acted as a link between offsite and tank farm
piping engg. and its execution. Ashish Puntambekar and Fareed Anjum joined as GETs in TF project team. As the project team was enlarging the whole office was shifted from Tulsiani to vakola and full fledged project establishment got formed there. NV Giri was my able personal secretary. That time, Mr Duleep Singh, Retd. RCF Chairman joined the company as chief of projects. Later M/S Palande, D Murali and CW Joshi from H&G joined Reliance for strengthening the project team. On the construction front. GSRao took the captaincy with strong team drawn from ex-EIL and ex-H&G .
Mr V Sridhar was identified as the key person for construction planning and material management at site.
As PM Tank farm , my first task was to develop the layout meeting the safety requirements as well as complying the national statutory stipulations-that time The Department of Explosives under CCE-Chief controller of explosives. That department was formed in 1898 by Britishers to take care of explosive manufacturing/handling and later scope added to cater to ensure adhering safety in hydro carbon processing and storage.
Developing a complex tank farm sizing and layout, the biggest challenge- having different fluids possessed by several end users and differentiating between liquid state that too under A,B,C category
based on flash point and liquified petroleum gas stored at pressure &corresponding gantries!! Contd.....
Key Aspects :- Conviction, Critical challenge, Innovative, Multi discipline exposure, Proactive approach, Team building
