Hazira Ph2 & CCE Committee
I would like to split this into two sections:
1) Reliance Projects OSBL execution- Challenges faced and execution experience
2) How I carried out the national responsibility of Member-Secretary under Dr H Mukherjee -Review of existing Rules and Recommendation for amendments
Hazira Ph2
Here only I have realised Sh DHA's long vision and Sh MDA as chemical engineer by qualification leading the team in making the company's growth vertical and exponentially enlarged !
The company's slogan - Think Big and Growth is way of Life have become TRUE.
The company engaged M/S Lummus as overall management consultant and signed licence agreement with various international technology suppliers like M/S Shell, BF Goodrich , Du Pont etc. For strategy sake formed Reliance Petrochemicals to put HDPE & PP , in colloquial term called Illu/Pillu. But when it came to offsite &utilities, every thing was common.
The mother plant cracker was finalised last that too engineering borrowed from an abandoned project in Far East. It was real challenge for OSBL to freeze the Design basis for utilities packages and offsite interconnect piping! At one stage, even Lummus team got perplexed in freezing them. This aspect was true even for freezing the unit locations in the overall plot plan and identify the Battery Limit interconnects and provision of isolation valves /Block&Bleed arrangement.
As luck would have it, Dr JV Kelkar , a technology expert with project execution experience joined Reliance. He and me performed as team and based on licensor tentative layout/s, with card board cut pieces to type and sizes, froze the layout. He being a process system engineer, we could ensure the validation of plant streams continuity/relative geometric placements and placed them on an A0 drawing sheet. Then with Lummus process system engineers and H&G piping engineers we identified the B/L interface requirements. One can say we both learnt to play the LEGO game by that exercise. As computer technology and 3D modelling were not there in those days, our manual exercise only brought fruits.
H&G took the responsibility of developing the overall plot plan of Hazira based on our above inputs and M/S Lummus validated it. Then only H&G Process system manager Mr Dabholkar with Mr Samir Karnik of JVK's team developed the design basis for all utility packages and interconnect network piping sizes for both process fluids and utilities distribution. After developing the interconnect diagram by piping specialist Mr Krishnan of H&G, the process team carried out the hydraulic analysis and froze. After that only the detailed P&IDs were developed and approved by Lummus. Though it is more than 25 years back this exercise was carried out, every old timer in Reliance still relish that experience.
The construction management was headed by Mr Lokheshwar and Sh GR Singh was his number two. In between Mr Krishna Kumar came in picture but he could not face the pressure and demand of the work. For offisite and Utilities PBMRao was identified as the overall construction manager.
He had the assistance of ace construction managers M/S V V Bala, Pushpanathan, Prasad, Kanniah,Madhu Narayan, Devaraj...... Each one of them was a champion and they played their roles
effectively and H&G engg. office used to struggle in releasing the drawing deliverable. Mr Yanamandra was my ace champion .Lummus team used to wonder how this team is progressing so fast. From H&G side ,they identified Mr Kiran Shinde, the present Sr Vice President,Projects in Reliance as their PM and we used to have a wonderful triangular basis understanding- Projects/Construction/Engg. consultant. Seeing our coordination and progress, Lummus management rarely interfered in project progress review of OSBL. Contd.........
Key Aspects :- Attitude, Critical challenge, Faith, Leadership, Multi discipline exposure, Team building
