<b>BSEL Tech Park Premises Co-operative Society Ltd.</b><br><br>
Location:<br>
<b>Sector 30, Vashi, Navi Mumbai</b><br><br>
Project Type:<br>
<b>Repair & Rehabilitation Project – PMC (Project Management Consultancy)</b><br><br>
<b>Building Details</b><br>
Structure: Commercial IT Tower<br>
Configuration: 3 Basements + Ground + 14 Upper Floors<br>

<b>Background & Objective</b><br>
The management of BSEL Tech Park observed recurring leakage, corrosion, and plumbing failures within service ducts and terrace zones.<br>
Frequent complaints of foul odor, water seepage, and damaged finishes were affecting tenants’ operations and maintenance costs.<br><br>
To address these challenges in a structured and transparent manner, Valorem Engineering Pvt. Ltd. was appointed as the Project Management Consultant (PMC) to handle the entire repair process from assessment to execution monitoring.<br><br>
The project required technical expertise, cross-coordination between multiple contractors, and strict quality control, given the operational nature of the building with ongoing office activities.<br><br>
<b>Scope of PMC Work</b><br>
<b>Preliminary Structural & Plumbing Audit</b><br>
– Inspection of 14 service ducts (vertical risers)<br>
– Assessment of RCC members, plumbing joints, and drainage systems<br>
– Identification of unsafe, deteriorated, or corroded sections<br><br>
<b>Planning & Tendering</b><br>
– Preparation of Repair Estimate, BOQ, and Tender Documents<br>
– Technical vetting of contractors and comparative analysis<br>
– Assistance in contractor selection through transparent process<br><br>
<b>Execution Supervision & Quality Control</b><br>
– Daily on-site supervision and progress tracking<br>
– Verification of quantities and workmanship standards<br>
– Approval of material brands and mix designs (plumbing + civil repair)<br>
– Testing and inspection through NDT and visual verification<br><br>
<b>Coordination & Documentation</b><br>
– Periodic review meetings with Society Committee and Contractors<br>
– Monthly progress reports and photo documentation<br>

<b>Safety & Compliance</b><br>
– Ensured proper scaffolding, safety nets, and restricted working zones<br>
– Compliance with NMMC and Fire Department norms for repair works<br><br>
<b>Challenges Faced</b><br>
– Restricted access due to active corporate offices operating during daytime<br>
– Complex vertical duct system with existing 4” soil, 3” waste, and 4” rainwater lines running continuously from terrace to basement<br>
– Need for phased working and noise control to avoid operational disruption<br>
– Coordination of multiple vendors under a single PMC umbrella<br><br>
<b>Valorem Engineering’s Approach</b><br>
Valorem adopted a data-driven and methodical repair management strategy:<br><br>
– Used drone-based façade survey for external condition mapping<br>
– Carried out duct-by-duct documentation with measurement sheets and photographs<br>
– Recommended selective replacement instead of full plumbing overhaul, resulting in significant cost optimization<br>
– Introduced quality checkpoints and material inspection protocols for epoxy coating, clamps, and waterproofing<br><br>
