DESCRIPTION

  • The project was executed for an NRI Client (Forum Group) at the heart of Edappal city. The proposed shopping mall has been pre booked by Global supermarket vendor "NESTO".

CHALLENGES FACED

  • The forum mall site is a G+4 floors building, constructed on an irregular trapezoidal shape within a constrained space.
  • Designed was a challenge considering the various Architectural and MEP requirements. The design contains different load applications and specific height requirements for each floor.
  • The columns and beams had different positions, levels, orientations, and they were up to 12-meter long. The beam was limited to 600mm depth, considering height restrictions
  • Star column, star connections, and cantilevered beams used in this site were difficult to fabricate and install. We have constructed a 13-meter circular-shaped cantilever at the entrance of the Mall.

RISK MANAGEMENT

  • Considering the shortage of working space(space for material storage, painting & crane movement), our team handled the situation with extreme planning for continuous erection.
  • And the major challenge was to strengthen additional deflection of 30mm encountered at the cantilever portion above the design limit.
