COVER STORY
Job review meeting.
How do you take advantage of the
VSL network?
By working in various countries,
VSL has gained a lot of experience.
VSL India has benefited a lot from
this. We have used the reference of
the jobs done by other VSL companies.
If we have any clarification in our jobs,
we approach those profit centers
which have done similar work.
I also like to bring in a top VSL
specialist from the VSL Technical
Center in Singapore, when
necessary. Clients like that kind of
response, they know I can call in
anyone from anywhere!
VSL India has been awarded a
contract to supply and fabricate
1040 permanent ground anchors
(40 t) for the underpass project in
Maduban chowk at New Delhi
India. The anchors are proposed
to keep the base raft slab of the
underpass spanning between
diaphragm walls on either sides
in positioning against the uplift
pressure.VSL has successfully
completed the test anchors
(performance test, creep test
and pull-out test up to 3 times
capacity of anchors) as per FIB
standards, which was a
requirement set for awarding
the job. ■

DEVELOPING BY DIVERSIFYING
Madhuban chowk in New Delhi
"As a consultant, I give a lot of
importance to adherance to
technical provisions. I need to
feel fully confident. I found
VSL to follow the books on site
and to be meticulous on that.
They are also very prompt to
bring in engineers from abroad
to solve some issues. VSL is a
late entry but a leader now in
the Indian PT market..."
says Mr Umesh Joshi,
from Y.S. Sane Associate, a leading consultant
in Mumbai for building construction.
