- 25. Key Advantages for using PPP • Where project is suitable, PPP can driver beFer value for money than the alternaTves. It makes project affordable. PPP can be a tool for bridging the gap between the requirement of fund and availability of financial resources. • It maximizes the use of Private sector skills. • Under PPP, the private sector takes life cycle cost risk. • Risks are allocated to the party best able to manage or absorb a parTcular risk. • It delivers budgetary certainty. At the financial closure, the future cost of the project is known. • The quality of service has to be maintained for the life of PPP. • Development of specialist skills. • It encourages injecTon of private capital. • Private Sectors Efficiency and Public Sectors Authority makes a lethal combinaTon.
- 26. Key Disadvantages of PPP • PPP process can be lengthy and if not structured properly it can be costly. • Private sector has a higher cost of finance. • PPPs are long term relaTvely inflexible structure.

- 58. Durability of concrete Defini)on – • A durable concrete is one that performs saTsfactorily in the working environment during its anTcipated exposure condiTons during service (IS 456-2000) • Durability of concrete is its ability to resist weathering acTon, chemical aFack, abrasion or any other process of deterioraTon (American Concrete InsTtute). • When exposed to environment durable concrete is likely to retain its original form, quality and serviceability during its lifeTme. • Durable Concrete envisage limits for maximum water cement raTo, minimum cement content, cover thickness, type of cement used and presence of amount of chloride and sulphates in concrete. ( IS-SP-28) • As Low permeability as possible under situaTon. (IS-SP-23)
- 59. Consequences of Improper Quality and Inadequate Durability • Loss of strength of concrete • Concrete liable to be easily affected by deterrents • Corrosion of rebars • Loss of serviceability • Unpleasant appearance • Danger to persons and property • Expensive repair costs • Poor percepTon of concrete as a material • Poor percepTon of agencies involved • ReducTon of service life • External agencies like weathering, aFack by natural or Industrial liquids, Gases, bacterial Growth etc. • Alkali- aggregate reacTon. • Ingression of moisture/air facilitaTng corrosion of steel and cracking concrete cover. 59
- 63. Factors Influencing Durability of Concrete (IS: 456-2000) • The Environment • Type and quality of consTtuent materials • Cement content and W/C raTo of concrete • Workmanship especially in compacTon curing – it is very important • Cover to embedded steel • Shape and size of the member
- 64. Factors AffecTng Durability Durability depends on two main factors a) The concrete system & b) The service environment a) Concrete system is based on • Quality and quanTty of materials used and • Processes involved in manufacture of concrete. b) Service environment affects concrete by way of • Physical acTons and • Chemical acTons on concrete.

- 76. Construction Safety ProtocolAdequate care till baby is born
- 78. Construction Safety Protocol: Near miss is equally important
- 79. Herbert Heinrich showed that for every accident resulTng in a fatality or major disabling injury, there are approximately 300 unsafe incidents. The take-home message is that by reducing the number of near-misses you also reduce the chance of the fatality occurring, because you have lowered frequency of at-risk behaviours. 1 Major accident 29 Minor injury errors 300 Non –injury errors UNSAFE CONDITIONS and practices
- 81. Construction Safety Protocol should be part of team culture… TEAMWORK divides the tasks and multiplies the SUCCESS
- 82. Safety Protocol: Ensuring safety improves body language and work culture..
- 85. Do not use shortcut… Basic principles of Safety Protocol:
- 86. A FEW FACTS: v The first few weeks on each new site is the most dangerous. v Accidents are more frequent at the end of the day. v Construction over busy roads. v Safety helmets, Hi-viz jackets, safety boots do prevent injury and death. v Light weight shoes-such as trainers or runners are not suitable at site. v Idling/Stoppage of worksite make the worksite vulnerable…
- 87. Construction Accidents • 56% falls from height • 21% trapped by something collapsing or overturning • 10% struck by a moving vehicle • 5% contact with electricity or electrical discharge • 4% struck by a flying/falling object during machine lifting of materials • 3% contact with moving machinery or material being machined • 1% exposure to a hot or harmful substance Breakdown of fatalities according to type of accident in construction industry
- 88. Safe Access on Site v Everyone can get to their place of work safely v Edges from which people could fall are provided with double guard rails or other suitable edge protection v Holes are protected with clearly marked and fixed covers to prevent falls v Site is tidy v Good Lighting v Fenced off from public
- 89. Working at Height Height HAZARDS on Construction Sites Holes in Floors, Gaps on Working Platforms, Shafts and Stairwells not Adequately Covered, Barricaded, Fenced Off v Using ladders or scaffolding without proper fixing is crazy v Never use incomplete scaffolding. v Make sure there are hand rails and toe boards at all edges v Things fall on sites, wear your helmet v Before starting work at heights check for clearance from any overhead power lines
- 90. LETHAL LADDERS v Right for the job. Would scaffolding or a cherry picker be better? v In good shape v Secured near the top v On a firm base and footing v Rising at least 1 meter beyond the landing place or that there is a proper hand hold Always have a firm grip on the ladder and keep a good balance Ladders kill a lot of people. Make sure the ladder is:-
- 91. CRANE SAFETY • The weight of the load must be carefully estimated • The crane must be fitted with an automatic safe load indicator (one that works) • The crane must always work on a hard, level base • The load must be properly fixed and secured • The banksman must be trained to give clear signals • Third party inspection and trials • Testing and third party inspection of wire rope. • Checklist Very Simply :-
- 92. Traffic Vehicles & Plant v Vehicles and pedestrians should be kept apart on- site – separate them as much as possible using barriers v Adequate clearance around slewing vehicles v Avoid reversing where possible & use one-way system v Vehicles should have reversing alarms/ sirens
- 93. ELECTRICITY • Treat electricity with respect • Check constantly that cables are not damaged or worn • Keep trailing cables off the ground and away from water • Never overload or use makeshift plugs and fuses Good practice with electricity at site:-
- 94. PPE on-site Most construction sites require at least: • Hard hat • Safety Boots • Hi-viz jacket • Safety Glasses Wear them always for your safety
- 95. Construction Site Safety No job is so important that it cannot be done safely UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE PERSONS WORKING ON SITE TO PUT THEMSELVES IN DANGER BEST - BE Safe Today
- 96. Checks… • Ensuring work permits • Internal/ External safe audits in regular frequencies • Checklists throughout the construction phase • Display safety posters and assurance • Preparation of audit reports for check • Indentifying non conformant, non compliance • Near misses actions which has ability to cause risk • Legal requirements
