For carrying out the above
activities, competent teams of professionals were assigned both at the home office and the
project site. Manpower equivalent to about 200 man months was deployed at site alone, for
carrying out the above activities resulting in successful commissioning of the Cement
Plant in April 2000. The project site being only 100 km from the border where one of the
fiercest war was on during the implementation of the project, our professionals had to
work at site in adverse conditions and provide the required support to the Owner. |
