Unit 5: Software Project Planning

In addition, SGS has ensured top quality during the construction process with the slip form Notes
technique, a construction method used for tall structures such as chimneys, water tanks and
storage bins that is becoming increasingly popular among leading construction companies,
due to the considerable reduction in time and cost it offers.
SGS has checked the twisting of the slip form with respect to tolerance limits, controlled the
Reinforced Concrete shell thickness and slump as per design requirements, and has ensured
that the proper inner and outer diameters, clean cover and steel lap joints are maintained. With
SGS’s help, the chimney construction projects have been performed in compliance with all
international and local regulations and quality standards. SGS is one of very few companies
with the requisite technical expertise and manpower to supervise chimney construction. As
a result of SGS’s competence and experience, the contract with Bygging India Ltd. is being
renewed annually, in accordance with the client’s requirements. Moreover, SGS operations
may be extended to other countries in which Bygging India Ltd. carries out its work.
