The ground floor of this building is reserved for parking. The first floor has dressing room, 2 change rooms, kitchen , 2 amenities, umpire room, a large multipurpose room etc. The main building in the first is surrounded by corridor from where support could watch the sport.

One special thing about the design is the ramp and first floor slabs are concrete but are laid between perimeter steel members. Refer below image.

Supply and Schedule:

This project was undertaken by us during April & May 2020 which was global lockdown period. The project was bit urgent from the client side. After all RFIs, approval submissions, comment implementations, the full pack was submitted by mid of May 2020. We completed it by the desired date even with lesser man power available during lockdown. The project was submitted part by part as requested by the client.

First supply – Pack for Ramp steel and fence steel
Second supply – Pack for Stair steel, first floor cast in PFCs and balustrades.
Third supply – Pack for columns, lintels and roof members.

A proper coordination between site and detailing team was required as works were undergoing simultaneously. When ramp steel was supplied and they laid concrete, we had to submit the first floor cast in PFCs, cast in plates and balustrades and these must be fabricated before the ramp concrete in done curing. We maintained the schedule properly and no delay happened in the site.

Some of the model snaps are given below.
