Site Visit to “J. Kumar Infraprojects Ltd – CIDCO Coastal” 2025

Event Objective :

The objective of the site visit was to provide students with practical exposure to on-site construction activities, segment casting procedures, site management practices, and safety protocols followed in large-scale infrastructure projects.

Event Outcome :

Students gained hands-on understanding of segment casting operations, reinforcement and shuttering processes, post-tensioning techniques, and site execution management. They also learned about real-time safety measures essential for working on major infrastructure projects.

Description of Event:

A site visit for the B.E. (Semester VII) Civil Engineering students was organized by the Department of Civil Engineering on 4th October 2024 at J. Kumar Infraprojects Ltd., CIDCO Coastal Road Package-1 (Targhar).

The visit aimed to help students understand the execution of large-scale coastal road construction works and the coordination involved between contractors, consultants, and site staff.

Upon arrival, the Site Safety In-charge conducted a detailed safety briefing for all students, emphasizing the importance of personal protective equipment (PPE), safe movement on site, and emergency protocols.

Following the safety session, students were guided to various work locations on the site. The site engineers and the consultant team explained:

• Segment Casting Procedures
• Reinforcement Detailing
• Shuttering and Formwork Arrangements
• Casting Methods and Quality Control
• Hydraulic Jacking in Post-Tensioning
• Site Handling, Planning, and Execution Methods
• Overall Site Management and Coordination

Students observed ongoing construction activities and interacted with the engineering team, which enriched their understanding of bridge/road segment construction processes.

The visit provided valuable practical insights, complementing their academic learning and enhancing their industry readiness.
