ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I hereby would like to express my sincerest gratitude to this esteemed organization, which has provided me this precious privilege to pragmatically convert theoretical knowledge into a practically viable experience. During the course of training at L&T WDFC Phase-I, many people have guided me and shared their knowledge with me and I will remain indebted to them throughout my life for making my duration of training a wonderful learning experience.
I would like to thank my mentors without their indelible guidance and support this intern would not have been completed. They took a keen interest in my intern and ensured that my tenure at L&T was the learning experience of the lifetime for me. The exposure to the actual working of the industry that I have got here would not have been possible without their kind support.
Thanks are also due to all the operators of machines and supervisors who took invaluable time off work to amply
satisfy my queries.
OBJECTIVES OF INTERNSHIP

It gives us an opportunity to exchange ideas and suggestions with the members of the faculty
This kind of interaction will help us to build a network of experts, expertise and mentorship of the project
The experience gained from here will guide us in the future career goals.
Strong base for beginning a career in this field.
Western Dedicated Freight Corridor
Western Dedicated Freight Corridor or Western DFC is a freight corridor under construction in India by Indian Railways. It is going to be a broad gauge corridor. This will connect two most important cities in India viz. Delhi (The national capital of India) and Mumbai (The commercial capital of India). This corridor will cover a distance of 1483 km and would be electrified with double line operation. A single line branch is proposed from Pirthala Junction to Tughlakabad. This will run parallel to existing Delhi - Mathura main line. Route from Rewari to Dadri will be entirely new line and Dadri will further be connected to Khurja junction which will connect this corridor to Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor.

QUALITY CONTROL LAB
BATCHING PLANT- Concrete plant is a device which combines viscous ingredients to form concrete. Some of the inputs include sand, water, fly-ash, cement.
There are 2 types of batching plant present on the site.
TYPE CAPACITY (cum/hr) CAPACITY (cum/turn)
M1 60 1
CP30 30 0.5
SILO- Storing cement in batching plant.SILO 1, SILO 2- Used by CP 30 having a capacity of
75MT.SILO 3, SILO 4, SILO 5- Used by M1 having a capacity of
100MT.
M 1 takes 6 min. to fill TM (Transit Mixture).CP 30 takes 12 mi. to fill TM (Transit Mixture).
The standard time of mixing the cement is between 15 to 20 seconds by each batching plant. If the time is below 15 seconds, mix will have a low workability, thus concrete will be unsound. The grades of concrete manufactured on the site-

Weight-140 tones Height- 1.5m Length-27m Width- 5m Gauge- 1.63m
Girders are lifted by 2 cranes for installation. Though each crane can lift a weight of 380 tonnes , but for safety purpose 2 cranes are used.10.07 tonnes steel used in u girder. Cranes are wheel mounted.Each I girder takes 5-6 hrs. For installation.
LAYING OF FOUNDATION
The type of foundation used in this project is PILE FOUNDATION. It is used when the bearing capacity of the soil is not sufficient for the structure to withstand. A pile consists of 2 components.
1)PILE CAP-
Depth-5m PILE CAP AREA - 4 pile group (5.3m X 5.3m)6 pile group (8.9m X 8.9m)M-40 grade of concrete is used.
2)PILE GROUP- 4 pile or 6 pile group. Diameter of pile is 1.2 m. 25 m to 35 m is the length of the pile with efficiency of 80% to 90%. On a simple pier there is 4 pile group, M35 grade of concrete is used.
PROCESS-The site is dig by drilling hydraulic (piling rig) machine
PILING RIG MACHINE
Boring is done with the help of machine and polymer slurry. Advantages of using polymer slurry-
►Controls fluid loss in sands and gravels. Stabilizes excavations
►Highly concentrated. Very small quantities required
►Improves productivity of machines and crews
►Reduces chipping and cleaning of poured concrete
►Reduces or eliminates disposal costs.
►Reduces transport costs and storage space requirements
►Requires less mixing/processing equipment, reducing capital investment, job site congestion, and fuel costs
REINFORCEMENT
Steel reinforcements are used, gene rally, in the form of bars of circular cross section in concrete structure. Plain concrete without steel or any other reinforcement is strong in compression but weak in tension. Steel is one of the best forms of reinforcements, to take care of those stresses and to strengthen concrete to bear all kinds of loads.
They should be closely spaced as per the drawing and properly tied to the main/longitudinal reinforcement.
Reinforcement should be free from loose rust, oil paints, mud etc. it should be cut, bent and fixed properly. The reinforcement shall be placed and maintained in position by providing proper cover blocks, spacers, supporting bars, laps etc. Reinforcements shall be placed and tied such that concrete placement is possible without segregation.
COVER BLOCK-
Cover blocks are placed to prevent the steel rods from touching the shuttering plates and there by providing a minimum cover and fix the reinforcements as per the design drawings. Sometimes it is commonly seen that the cover gets misplaced during the concreting activity. To prevent this, tying of cover with steel bars using thin steel wires called binding wires (projected from cover surface and placed during making or casting of cover blocks) is recommended.
SONIC TESTING OF PILES
Integrity testing is relatively quick and simple and enables number of piles to be examined in a single working day. The method does not identify all imperfections in a pile, but provides information about continuity, defects such as cracks, necking, soil incursions, changes in cross section and approximate pile lengths.
In this test, a small metal / hard rubber hammer is used to produce a light tap on the top of the pile. The shock traveling down the length of the pile is reflected back from the toe of the pile and recorded through a suitable transducer / accelerometer (also held on the top of the pile close to the point of impact) in a computer disk for subsequent analysis.
The primary shock wave which travels down the length of the shaft is reflected from the toe by change in density between the concrete and the sub strata.
However, if the pile has any imperfections or discontinuities within its length these will set up secondary reflections which will be added to the return signal.
CASTING OF GIRDERS IN PCY
Caging is the first step done by labourers . This step takes 2 days. It is done by tying the bars by galvanized iron wire. Caging is not done by welding as it may change the properties of the bar. The caging reinforcement is then lifted by the gantry, and then transferred to bed. The beds on the site are 6 in nos., therefore at a time 6 caging RIF are transferred. Thereby it saves time and labour.
Once the caging reinforcement is transferred to the bed . High tensile wires of steel called ‘tendon’ wires pass through 72 holes of the concrete block with 4 pile group foundation to tighten up the steel wire. The concrete blocks are on both sides of the bed. One end of caging is called fixed end and the other end is called pusher end. This is common for all 6 caging. The tightening of steel wires is done by hydraulic nuts at fixed end and pusher end of the girder. After the stretching of steel wire , concrete is poured over the caging by the machine named as BOOM PLACER. Vibration activity is performed to spread the concrete uniformly.
Curing is performed for 14 days. On the eighth or ninth day when the concrete starts to get stiff, steel wires are cut down before the concrete gains its full strength before curing it.
PRE TENSIONING- Cutting of steel wires before the concrete gains its full strength and to stretch out the tensile wire.
POST TENSIONG-This is done at the site of casting of pier. In this 15 wires are passed through each hole for post tensioning.The process is same as pre tensioning.Hydraulic nuts are used for tightening. The pier cap has 4 ducts .The post tensioning of 1st and 4th duct is done before girder installation and the post tensioning of 2nd and 3rd duct is done after the installation of girders.
There are 2 major differences in pre and post tensioning-
Pre tensioning requires use of both fixed end and pusher end whereas post tensioning does not.
In pre tensioning first steel wire is introduced and then concrete is spread whereas in post tensioning first
concrete is spread and then steel wire is introduced.
