Abstract :
Keywords :
This Paper aims to conduct a preliminary study on the critical success factors and critical risk
factors associated with implementing Public Private Partnership (PPP) in Affordable housing in
India; as perceived by the private developers in this segment and in the context of the draft policy
issued for the same by the Government of India. The study tries to investigate about how this
business model is received by the private players and what according to them would be attractive to
doing business in this segment. The study summarises the various models proposed by the
government for PPP in the affordable segment and tries to provide insights as to what are the future
prospects of this business model.

Investigating Barriers To Constructability Improvement
In The Indian Construction Industry1 2 3 4Ashish Goel , Ram Charan Pottem , Prathamesh Pinge and Charles Mathew
Abstract :
Keywords :
Past research has established the positive contribution of constructability improvement to project
success in terms of time, cost and quality, especially for the Design Build (DB) procurement
system. However, the literature also suggests that constructability improvement programs face
multiple barriers at project and organisation levels, both from the client's and contractor's side. A
review of constructability literature reveals the lack of studies conducted in the Indian context and
the present research aims to fill this gap. In this research, an effort has been made to identify and
analyse the most prominent barriers to constructability improvement prevalent in the Indian
construction industry. In the first part, 46 barriers were identified through a literature review and
ranked on the basis of a survey conducted among the construction contractors. Out of 46 barriers,
'lack of coordination between the design team and execution team during the design stage' was
found to be the most important followed by 'No system for documentation of lessons learned' and
'no access to existing knowledge database'. The study also delved into the reasons for
constructability barriers and found that 'poor inter-department communication and coordination'
at the contractor's end was responsible for almost 25% of all constructability issues, followed by
'lack of management support (contractor)', 'lack of knowledge and skill in project team
(contractor)' and 'lack of technology and resources (contractor)'. Thus, most of the constructability
issues could be attributed to the contractor's management, their project personnel and resources. In
the second part, a Constructability Review and Improvement (CRI) model is developed which
integrates constructability improvement ideas during the design and construction phases of the
project lifecycle. The model uses the tools and techniques already suggested in the reviewed
literature and places emphasis on the deployment of a 'constructability champion' and a
'constructability review team' as the main drivers of the constructability improvement initiatives
during the design and construction phases of a project.

Critical Analysis Of The Success Factors Of
Public- Private Partnership Projects In Kerala1 2Nivea Thomas and Anu V. Thomas
Abstract :
Keywords :
Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have been widely applied across the world to provide a
sequence of important public services owing to the limited funds available with the governments
for infrastructure development. Despite more and more successful operations of PPPs, some project
failures are still reported in the literature like cost overruns, schedule overruns, and stakeholder
dissatisfaction. Performance evaluation of PPP projects throughout the project lifecycle is
necessary and there is an utmost need to identify the factors critical to the success of a project. A
questionnaire survey was carried out in the state of Kerala to understand the success factors
influencing PPPs and their underlying relationships. A total of 60 critical success factors were
identified from the literature and by holding discussions with PPP practitioners. Among the 60
factors considered, 'selection of the right project' was identified as the most critical factor for success
in PPP projects. Factor analysis was conducted to understand the underlying relationships among
the factors. The factors were categorized into seven groups, namely, (1) stakeholder satisfaction; (2)
technical and engineering structure; (3) project management framework; (4) partnership skills; (5)
favourable environment; (6) client satisfaction and environmental analysis and (7) project
selection. Further analysis indicates client satisfaction and environmental analysis as the most
significant of all factors having negative influence on cost performance. The research findings will
provide insights to PPP practitioners on factors contributing to the success of PPP projects and
guide their efforts to achieve better project performance.

From Minimum To Zero:
A Sustainable Transition In Formwork Management*Murali Jagannathan
Abstract :
Keywords :
The construction sector is fraught with materials that have adverse effects on sustainability in
almost all major stages of its lifecycle viz., its sourcing, usage and disposal. In construction, the
three such main raw materials that form the backbone are cement (concrete), wood (formwork) and
steel (structural and reinforcement steel). Fortunately, there are sustained efforts to make concrete
production and disposal more sustainable. Though steel production may not be environment-
friendly, its usage and disposal does not create any major wastage or disposal issues. Formwork in
the form of timber or plywood, on the other hand, is a material that is not consumed in the process
of construction, thereby ultimately resulting in a near 100% wastage upon its complete usage. The
paper adopts the Waste Hierarchy Principle (WHP) framework for analyzing the various
alternatives available in order to make the formwork activity sustainable. Under this framework,
the paper reviews the existing formwork practices that can best replace the traditional wood and
timber based formwork systems. It was observed that the 3D printing technology has the potential
to completely eliminate the usage of formwork and could be the best alternative to the conventional
formwork systems. The author opines that the analysis of the formwork systems from the
sustainability point of view under an accepted framework (WHP) is the main contribution to the
body of knowledge.

Study Of Cost Estimation Model For Plant Equipment:
A Case Study Of Water Treatment Plant*P. M. Deshpande
Abstract :
Keywords :
In engineering project environment, cost estimation is required for different phases in project cycle
for feasibility, detailed project report, tender bidding and contracting. The cost estimate is the most
needed to take the decisions. A viable estimate should also be produced with consistent definitions
and a repeatable estimating process is a need of engineering project cost estimation. This cost
estimation should satisfy effort/cost, time schedule, risk and needs to be reliable. In engineering
projects, the cost of plant and machinery is a major cost and varies from 40 to 65 percent of total
project cost depending on the technology, automation and type of project. The parametric cost
estimation model is the solution to satisfy the different needs of estimation. The parametric model
for cost estimation based on equipment sizing and specification is an effective approach for cost
estimation. The size of equipment is the result of the capacity of plant and this helps in estimating
project cost for different plant capacities. Secondly, the engineering design information details are
time dependent in project cycle; however, the estimation needs to be fairly accurate. The cost
estimation based on parametric model is a solution for repetitive estimation in various project
stages. This paper elaborates the principle and application of parametric model with the case study
of water treatment plant.

Construction Delay Analysis:
Findings From The State Of Maharashtra (India)1 2 3Rakesh Lalit Metha , Suraj Vasant Gaikwad and Gaurang Abhay Sakare
Abstract :
Keywords :
In almost every construction project, delay is an inevitable yet controllable phenomenon. The
Indian construction industry encounters an enormous amount of delays in projects. Delays affect
both the time and money in form of schedule and cost overruns respectively. Due to impressive and
dynamic growth in the Indian construction sector, planned efforts are essential to limit these
undesirable delays, which occur due to various reasons. On account of the surge in the rate of
residential Building Construction, the task of identification and analysis of the delays in
residential projects of Maharashtra (India) has been attempted by several authors. The aim of the
research is to provide insight to the construction stakeholders and researchers. A questionnaire
survey was administered for Maharashtra state involving 33 Contractors, 38 Consultants, and 29
Developers. The data analysis is performed by using Importance Index to rank the identified
delays, Principle Component Analysis, and Correlation Analysis to check the extent of agreement
amongst the stakeholders (i.e. contractors, consultants, and developers). The findings of this study
revealed that the finance related issues, as well as labour related problems were the dominating
causes of delays.

Developing A Framework For Sustainability Ratings Of
A Self-sufficient Eco Village1 2 3 4 5Pavan Totla , Aakash Sakargayen , NiyanthVashist , Saurabh Pandey and Swapnil Wassan
Abstract :
Keywords :
About 70% of the total population in India resides in villages and rural areas having workforce of
around 51% which contributes about 17% to the nation's GDP. The objective of this paper is to
determine the necessary set of infrastructure measures required for self-sustaining livelihood in the
rural area in general. Our paper discusses the various parameters that a village must identify with,
to become self-sustaining and eco-friendly. Literature review on the said subject helped us
understand about the various schemes initiated by Government of India like Sansad Adarsh
Gram Yojana, and Pradhan Mantri Adarsh Gram Yojana etc. for converting underdeveloped
villages into sustainable eco-villages. It also helped us understand the key factors that contribute to
the making of a successful model village, i.e. committed leadership, full community involvement,
consensual and participatory rule-making and strict enforcement. The research methodology
adopted here is based on the field survey of some existing Indian model villages through actual site
visits and questionnaire based data collection. Major conclusions were drawn after meeting and
discussing with the Subject Matter Experts of Ralegan Siddhi (a model village), District
Ahmednagar, Maharashtra, including interaction with Shri. Anna Hazare. The sustainability
rating parameters for a village and their relative importance were identified. The study will help
analyze the gap in an Indian village between underdevelopment and sustainability, reasons for the
gap and how to bridge the gap. The research work outcome is a framework for sustainability rating
of a village and includes 13 rating parameters which are necessary for assessing a village in terms
of self-sufficiency and eco-synergy.

Exploring The Critical Success Factors
For Effective Stakeholder Engagement Of Public Private
Partnership Projects In The Infrastructure Sector*Anand Lokhande
Abstract :
Keywords :
The growth in the infrastructure sector is one of the important levers of any country's progress.
However, this cannot be achieved without large scale funding that is needed for these long gestation
projects. The government relies on the ability of the private sector to invest in this sector through the
mechanism of the public private partnership projects. The success of these projects is dependent on
the ability of the private sector to provide financial support, higher level of skills, efficient and
effective programme coordination and goal directed project management. Management of public
private partnership projects needs special acumen and enhanced ability to interact with different
stakeholders throughout the course of the project. These projects face a variety of challenges while
engaging the stakeholders during different phases and therefore, it is imperative for the project
manager to adopt suitable techniques to tackle them. The measure of success at every stage of the
project is characterized by different factors. This paper focuses on the critical success factors related
to stakeholder engagement in public private partnership projects in the infrastructure sector. The
identification of these success factors will reveal the importance and their role in enabling effective
stakeholder engagement. The study also deals with categorizing these success factors, based on
various characteristics of public private partnership projects, like procurement process, risk
allocation, sharing of authority between the two partners, commitment and responsibility of
project delivery and transparency in communication; all leading to strong stakeholder
engagement.

An experimental Study On Self Compacting Concrete
Using Super Absorbent Polymer1 2 3A. Mohanraj , V. Senthilkumar and S. Loganayagan
Abstract :
Keywords :
Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) is a type of concrete that gets compacted under its self-weight.
SCC is a concrete that can be placed and compacted into every corner of a formwork; purely by
means of its self-weight, eliminating the need of either external energy input from vibrators or any
type of compacting effort. This paper discusses about Self-Compacting Self-Curing Concrete,
which uses Super Absorbent Polymers (SAP) as a self-curing agent. There is a significant influence
on the strength of the concrete because of internal curing using SAP. However, if the quantity of
SAP added in the concrete exceeds the limit, it may lead to additional void formation in the
concrete mass, which in turn would have a negative effect on the hardened concrete. This effect of
SAP on concrete leads to improvement in workability and placing on concrete. This paper focuses
on the physical properties of hardened SAP induced concrete, and compares them with ordinary
M40 grade concrete. The concrete mix limits the percentage of superplastizer to 2 % and varies the
percentage of SAP. Nearly 18 trials were carried out, from which the mix for M40 grade of concrete
and percentage of SAP to be added is obtained. All the trials satisfied the workability tests specified
in the European Federation of National Associations Representing for Concrete (EFNARC).
