1. PROJECT BACKGROUND
The city of Chennai is the emerging hub of technology and modern lifestyle in India. It is
known as the largest city in the state of Tamil Nadu. Siruseri is a south eastern suburb of
Chennai, in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, located around 25 km south of the city,
along Old Mahabalipuram Road. It is located between Navalur and Kelambakam. Siruseri
roughly marks the end of the IT Corridor of Chennai along Old Mahabalipuram Road.
Numerous IT companies are situated along the IT corridor like Tata Consultancy
Services, Cognizant Technology Solutions, Accenture India, etc.,
2. NEED FOR MULTI - LEVEL CAR PARKING
The number of vehicles in the state has grown sharply with the growth in Trade and
Commerce. Though there are parking lots available, the capacity of the parking lot is not
sufficient to cater to the present demand and at the same time the location of the parking
lot is questionable. In the absence of adequate parking facilities, the vehicles are parked
on the side of the street leading to a major bottleneck in the smooth flow of the traffic.
This on-street parking occupies a sizeable portion of motorable road. Multi-Level parking
lots at strategic places and a rational parking fee are inevitable for solving the problem of
finding parking space for the growing number of vehicles.
3. CITY PROFILE
Chennai, originally known as Madras Patnam, was located in the province of
Tondaimandalam, an area lying between Pennar river of Nellore and the Pennar river of
Cuddalore. The capital of the province was Kancheepuram. In 1996 the state government
officially changed the name to Chennai. The growth of the city is significant and closely
linked with the development of British Institutions and administration.
3.1 LOCATION
Chennai, one of the four metropolitan cities, is located on the South Eastern coast of India
in North Eastern part of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Its geographical coordinates is
13°04'N latitude and 80°17'E longitude. It is bounded in the west by Vellore district and
Thiruvannamali district, in the north by Thiruvallur district and Chennai district, in the
south by Villupuram district and in the east by the Bay of Bengal. It is located along the
shorelines of Coromandel Coast, with the gorgeous Marina beach adorning its beauty.

The two rivers flowing through Chennai, the Cooum which flows through the centre and
the Adyar River to the south, are linked by the Buckingham Canal which runs parallel to
the coast. While the third river, the Kortalaiyar, flows through the outside boundary of the
city before draining into the sea of Ennore. Besides these, there are many lakes of
different sizes located on the western fringes of the city. The city is known as the “Detroit
of India” for its automobile industry.
3.2 CLIMATE
The climate varies depending upon the season. The temperature hovers between 48.8ºC
maximum and 20.1ºC minimum during the summer and 38.7ºC maximum and 10.0ºC
minimum during the winter. During normal monsoon, it receives a rainfall of 1200mm.
3.3 TOPOGRAPHY
Natural topography of the site reflects flat terrain. The present site’s EGL is about 0.7 to
1.1M below ERL of OMR in front of the site. Within the site a pond is present near the
borehole 2. Bottom level of the pond is about 4.4M below the ERL of OMR. Many well
grown coconut trees are present in the western end of the site. In other parts of the site
many bushes and shrubs are present.
On the south side, fencing demarcates SIPCOT corner land whereas on the north side huts
and small houses with no proper fencing or compound wall demarcate the boundary.
3.4 EXPLORATORY BORINGS & GROUNDWATER
Soil conditions at the site have been explored by drilling boreholes 1, 2 & 3 Nos. A 1.2M
diameter and 5.4M deep open well is present at a distance of 86.7M from Borehole 1 just
outside the site. In this open well, groundwater level is about 4.5M below EGL.
3.5 POPULATION
The site location is near to the OMR road and hence it will be accessed commonly by the
people. The population of the Kanchipuram district is about 3,998,252 whereas of
Chennai is about 8,696,010 making it the fourth most populous city in India. Sex ratio in
the Chennai city is 986 females per 1000 males.

3.6 INFRASTRUCTURE
Roads & Railways:
Kanchipuram district is well connected by Rail, Road and Air to all major cities in the
state and country. The Chennai International Airport is located in Tirusulam in
Kanchipuram district. The major district roads and State Highways connects the city to
important towns all-round the District.
3.7 ECONOMY
Chennai is currently rated the fourth largest economy in India and third highest GDP per
capita. The metropolitan area includes the city and the nearby industrial zones
of Sholinganallur, Siruseri, Oragadam and Sriperumbudur.
Chennai has an economic base anchored by the automobile, software services, medical
tourism, hardware manufacturing and financial services. Other important industries
include petrochemicals, textiles and apparels. The Chennai Port and Ennore
Port contribute greatly to its importance. The city has a fully computerized stock
exchange called the Madras Stock Exchange. A sound economic base has been developed
which needs to be maintained. The city has become an important trade centre for trade
and commerce.
Chennai has emerged as an Offshore Engineering hub due to the presence of Offshore
Technology and Renewable Energy research institutions like Indian Institute of
Technology Madras (IIT-M), National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT), Center of
Wind Energy Technology (C-WET), Indian Maritime University (IMU), Tamil Nadu
Energy Development Authority (TEDA), Anna University School of Energy, etc.
3.8 PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY
The first Master Plan for Chennai Metropolitan Area comes into force from the year
1975. The Master Plan laid down policies and programmes for the overall development of
the CMA. The land use plan designated the use to which every parcel of land in CMA
could be put to. The land use plan was enforced through a set of regulations under
Development Control Rules, which formed part of the master plan. The land use pattern
in the year 1975 and the existing land use pattern of the year 2006 are as follows. From
the data it is evident that residential use is more rather than others. Subsequently the need
of infrastructure will be increasing accordingly.

3.9 MASTER PLAN – 2026
Chennai is one of the high-density cities in India. Its density varies from 180 persons per
hec. in Saidapet and Mylapore Corporation zones and 368 persons per hec. in
Kodambakkam zone within the Corporation limits and the gross density for Chennai City
is 247 persons per hec. FSI is the main tool used in urban planning to regulate the
densities of population with reference to infrastructure provision. Density of population
needs to be regulated for various reasons including carrying capacity of infrastructure
(existing as well as proposed), sociological reasons such as crime rate etc and other
physical factors. In order to encourage amalgamation of smaller plots into larger size and
construction of buildings with large open space around, a higher FSI of 2.5/2.75 is
allowed in multistoried developments.
Considering availability of land for development and infrastructure (now and also in the
Plan period), land use, travel and traffic aspects, optimum density of population,
onslaught of private real estate developers on the small house 297 owners/tenants in the
central parts of the City, affordability etc., any experimentation in changing already fixed
FSI without proper detailed study on this may have to be discouraged. In the present
condition, any negative impact triggered due to increase in intensity of population/FSI
cannot be reversed.
After examining the issue in detail, it is proposed to retain FSI almost as existing and
follow it.

5. SURVEY ANALYSIS
The following are the parking surveys conducted:
Parking Space Inventory
Parking Usage Survey by Patrol
Questionnaire type parking usage survey
Cordon Count
5.1 PARKING SPACE INVENTORY
This survey was carried out at a radius of 2 km all around Siruseri & OMR keeping the
Site location as the centre.
The first steps in deciding the types and locations of the parking surveys are to collect
data with a simple parking space inventory survey. The data on parking facilities were
recorded on the plans using suitable symbols,
Length of the Kerb
Number of Parking Spaces
Street Width
Location of Bus Stops, bus bays, etc.
Traffic management measures in force
5.2 PARKING USAGE SURVEY BY PATROL
This survey was also carried out at various locations in and around Siruseri & OMR. The
purpose of this survey is to obtain data on the existing parking facilities mainly on-street
type. This survey also constitutes taking readings for the duration of parking for each of

Techno-Economic Feasibility Report (TEFR)
Tamil Nadu Road Development Company Ltd.
the vehicles parked within the selected locations. In addition to the above, details of the
capacity of off-street parking including the duration of parking were taken down from the
representatives of each of the companies with the SIPCOT-Siruseri Campus.
5.3 QUESTIONNAIRE TYPE PARKING USAGE SURVEY
The Questionnaire type of Parking Usage Survey has been carried out in and around
SIPCOT Siruseri. The Willingness to Pay Survey was carried out on a random sample
basis and the feedback was also received for the various project components.
Various questions/queries were made including the rates comfortable for the sample to
pay for parking a car. The feedback obtained helps in the decision making for each of the
project components.
The questionnaire type parking usage survey involves interviews with the drivers who use
the parking facilities. As a result, it is possible to collect information on the extent, to
which the existing facilities are being used, the parking requirements at the prices existing
at the time of the survey, the parking demand at different prices, the distribution of
demand over area and time and the journey purposes of car parkers.
The survey has been made by making enquiries among the car owners living / working in
the vicinity of the survey area and by making enquiries among the drivers of cars seen to
park in the area at the time of the survey. In the former method, a sample of car owner is
selected from the list of car owners and the questionnaires are delivered to them. Non-
respondents can be followed up and the requirements of the sample are grossed up to the
requirements of the whole population. The second method suffers from a disadvantage
that it misses information about potential parkers who never bring their cars to the survey
area for want of space, but this can be overcome by a supplementary sample.
In the interview of actual parkers, the information collected should include:
(i) Address of origin of the trip
(ii) Address of destination of the trip
(iii) Trip purpose
(iv) Time of arrival at the parking place
(v) Time of departure from the parking place
(vi) Type of parking space used
(vii) Type of vehicle.

Normally one interviewer is required to cover about fifteen spaces. All the parkers in a 8
or 10 hour period are interviewed. The duration of' the survey' was a single day (working
day) spread over a number of days.
5.4 CORDON COUNT
This survey has been carried out at 2 km radius keeping the Site location as the centre
thereby covering most of SIPCOT-Siruseri.
A team had been allocated at each of the locations and the team noted the numbers of
each of the vehicles passing (both in & out) the location at the same time interval for a
period of 12 hrs. The main objective of the survey is to determine the volume of vehicles
retained within the cordon lines for a specific hour.

5.5.2 ANALYSIS OF WILLINGNESS TO PAY SURVEY & FEEDBACK ON DEMAND
FOR THE PROJECT
In the manner stated above, all the data has been collected using the above willingness to
pay format and analysis carried out on such data indicates the following,
S. No. Willingness for Rs.30/- per hour
payment towards Car Parking
Number of
People out of 100 Percentage
1. Low 2 2 %
2. Medium 74 74 %
3. High 24 24 %
From the above table, it can be clearly seen that people are generally willing to pay upto
Rs.30/- per hour towards car parking at current levels i.e. 2015 prices.
However, considering the economy & duration of construction (2 years), we suggest that
Rs.50/- only for working hours (9.00 am to 17:00 pm) and Rs.40/- per hour (for the
remaining hours) be collected towards car parking. The same may be incorporated in the
calculation towards Financial Viability.
Furthermore, with regard to the feedback collected on the demand for the project, the trip
purposes taken from nearly 100 drivers/owners have been identified and tabulated as
shown below,
S. No. Activity No. of
Samples Percentage Remarks
1. Official Business (Other than
IT Staff) 60 60 %
These are outsiders

5. To eat in restaurants 5 5 % -
6. School/College/University 10 10 % -
7. Service Passenger 3 3 % -
Total 100 100 % -
From the above table, it may be seen that nearly 60% of all visitors to Siruseri are
outsiders. This shows promise that users require car parkings.
6. GROWTH IN VEHICLE REGISTRATIONS WITHIN CHENNAI CITY
The vehicle growth in the Chennai city is as follows:

6.1 GROWTH IN PARKING DEMAND
The traffic projections made by the recent CCTS study shows that Chennai experiences
an exponential traffic growth and the parking demand has also increased exponentially.
The following table illustrates the parking demand realized as of 2008 in comparison with
the demand in 1993, for major roads within Chennai,
The above situation poses a challenge to the newer generation and this will need essential
re-thinking of effective transportation within the country.
The present parking fees structure in Chennai Malls & multiplex
An overall survey of the collection of fees for car parking at Chennai malls have been
conducted and it is seen that per hour charges for car parking is Rs.40 and multiplies
according to the duration of parking.
In order to meet additional parking needs, it is proposed to have a multilevel car parking
facility at Siruseri, Chennai. An aesthetically pleasing design is to be developed to
provide multi-level parking facility. The detailed scope of work is given below:
Multi-level car parking facility for 632 ECS.
Multi-level car parking facility should be fully automatic / robotic and the use of
standards and specifications for use of material, construction technology and
operations shall adhere to the national and international set of specifications and
the best practices in the industry.
All basic necessity like drinking water, toilets, DG sets, Firefighting facility and
security should be provided.
Retrieval Time: Not more than 3 minutes.
