ANNUAL NEWS LETTER

JUN 2019

FOREWORD 1. At the outset this year too, MES has been able to deliver quality engineering support

to Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard and other Government organisations by close,

constant and intensive interaction with the users and administrative staff. It has yet again

proved its mettle as one of the oldest and largest government infrastructure development

agency with an annual budget of over ` 17,000 crore. Presently several major

infrastructure projects including two Command Hospitals, ammunition/ explosive storage

facilities, infrastructure for Army Aviation units, new inductions and runway resurfacing

works for Navy and Air Force are under execution by MES, which are targeted to be

completed in a time-bound manner.

2. It is heartening to note that several cases for enabling provisions to empower the

MES executives including increase in maintenance norms of roads and buildings as well as

implementation of EPC mode in upcoming MES projects, inclusion of Performance Security

Clause in MES contracts and enhancement of Defect Liability Period have been sanctioned

by the Govt. The revision of Defence Works Procedure 2007 and Scales of

Accommodation 2009 are in advance stages of approval. Automation in MES, which has

been the KRA of our present E-in-C, has gained momentum with cases for implementation

of WBPMP and e-MB in advance stages of sanction by MoD. Certain pilot/ test projects in

automation of e-MB and cash assignments have already proved to be successful. MES

component of ARMAAN app pertaining to MES maintenance complaints is now being

regularly monitored and there has been significant improvement in user satisfaction.

3. 150 MW SPV projects have gained pace and within next few months complete target

would be achieved. An update on progress of these projects is included in this newsletter

along with few photographs of completed projects. All stakeholders should work for and

endeavor to complete this scheme by Mar 2020. On completion MES can stake claim and

share in the overall carbon footprint reduction measures of the nation.

4. Quality issues in built construction are of paramount importance throughout their

service life. Recently few cases have been reported where ineffective quality control

measures have led to poor construction and late detection of distress in buildings which

has rendered the construction beyond repair/ rehabilitation. Such instances eclipse majority

of good work. Thus it is pertinent that due emphasis on quality control is given by the site

executives during execution and during site visit/ inspection by CEs Zone and Command.

5. Inspite of challenges of fund crunch and manpower shortage, it is our collective

responsibility to adhere to laid down procedures and work in close conjunction to effectively

execute various projects at hand with professionalism and competence. We all must strive

towards positive perception management of the organization by highlighting the good work

being done by each and every member of the team. I am sanguine that with whole hearted

support at all levels and dedicated effort by each member, we will continue to excel and

achieve our objectives.
