Statue of Unity is the world’s tallest statue honoring the ‘Iron Man of India’, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. The 182-meter tall statue is an excellent example of structural engineering and steel detailing. It is a colossal building facing the Sardar Sarovar Dam on the Narmada river. This iron and steel statue is listed among the world’s 49 most outstanding projects by the Institution of Structural Engineers (IstructE). Statue of unity was Rs 2,989 crore project, which used a huge amount of raw material including: 210,000 cu.m. of cement concrete poured into the statue 18,500 tonnes of reinforced steel 6,500 tonnes of structural steel 1,700 tonnes of bronze 1,850 tonnes of bronze cladding made up of some 565 macro & 6,000 micro panels Process of construction Statue of Unity has three layers. The innermost layer has two towers made of reinforced cement concrete. The towers have risen to the chest area. The steel frames are made on the concrete towers that form the second...

When developers begin a new construction project, standard practice is hiring separate engineering firms to design mechanical, electrical and plumbing installations. However, this approach creates a substantial management challenge, since the developer should coordinate design groups in separate corporations, making certain that each one building systems interact properly. There are equipment suppliers that provide design services, however, the system configurations out there are limited to the product providing of that specific supplier. the top goal of suppliers is to sell their equipment, and developers don’t have an opportunity to think about different solutions which will be a much better match for the project. A simpler and smarter approach is functioning with an MEP engineering firm , that covers several areas of expertise. This way, developers will delegate not only the technical side of design but also team management. Building systems can't be designed in isolatio...
