Our customer, IVRCL Infrastructures & Projects Ltd., is a renowned name in the Indian infrastructure sector and has made water their calling. IVRCL has been awarded the Lift Scheme from Thotapalli Reservoir to Gouravelli Reservoir proposed in the Flood Flow Canal, Phase II of the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project. This involves pumping and distribution of water to the fields of the beneficiary farmers. The project involves constructing an underground pumphouse and installing pumps and allied machinery

Crane purchased in 2008 demonstrated peak performance on earlier project site

The joint venture between IVRCL and Unity, partnered with ElectroMech in 2008 for the prestigious project of an underground tunnel for the supply of drinking water to Mumbai. ElectroMech played a pivotal role through cranes supplied for tunnel mucking and TBM assembly.

ElectroMech Double Girder Gantry Cranes were deployed to match the excavation speed of the advanced TBM. IVRCLUnity set a record by achieving two million safe man-hours and maintained zero lost time and accidents in a project of this size and complexity. The boring of the entire length of 8.3 kilometres was also completed in a record time of 180 days. Once the project was complete, the cranes supplied by ElectroMech, having fully discharged their duty, were lying unused in a stockyard.

Infrastructure development in India is burgeoning with rapid industrialisation, urbanisation, thrust on irrigation and favourable government policies.At the same time, the sector is witnessing phenomenal pressures to complete projects in a time-bound manner and within limited budgets. Cost pressures on infrastructure companies are increasing and ‘sweating’ assets is becoming an important area to improve project profitability.

Cranedge, a service subsidiary of ElectroMech,strives to provide the most feasible solutions to ensure high crane uptime, enhance crane life,increase safety and save valuable resources like capital and time. This ultimately results in improved productivity, profitability and safety for our customers.

Here is a classic case where we have helped a leading infrastructure company to effectively reuse its assets and achieve phenomenal savings in project cost.

It is a norm in the industry to write off an asset after it has served its purpose in a particular project. However,ElectroMech cranes, by default, are designed for serving on multiple projects. With a perfect understanding of this approach of ElectroMech’s, Cranedge provides innovative solutions through engineering interventions, which allow customers to reuse assets and maximise ROI. We also ensure that, in spite of being old, refurbished cranes have a high uptime. In this case as well, a systematic approach was followed considering the new project requirements.
