I would like to thanks Mr. R.K Tiwari (G.F.M) civil, who guided me in this 30 days training. Under his supervision I had came to know many things related to civil like building works, planning, designing ,constructions of various things in mines and in townships with details. I would also like to thanks Mr. N Patil (chief supt.) civil, for inspiring and guiding me throughout my training period. I would like to thanks Mr. R.K Srivastava (Asst supt. of Survey and planning) for helping me to know a lot about surveying and planning of open cast mines. At last I also would like to thanks my father I.J Singh (A.F.M) mining, for always inspiring and motivating me throughout my training period.
Uranium corporation of india limited, Turamdih Is a centrally owned public sector undertaking (PSU), under the department of atomic energy for uranium mining and uranium processing. The corporation was founded in 1967 and is responsible for the minning and milling of uranium ore in india. The firm operates mines at Jadugora, Bhatin, Narwapahar, Turamdih and Banduhurang mines.
Turamdih mines: Turamdih mine is located 24km to the west of jadugoda. It was commissioned in 2003. Turamdih processing plant has been set up to treat the ore from Turamdih, Banduhurang and Mohuldih mines. A new plant at turamdih has set up to treat the ore produced from turamdih and banduhurang mines. Application of civil engineering plays an important role at U.C.I.L mines turamdih. Thus civil engineering plays an important role.
Surveying of open cast mines: Surveying may be defined as an art to determine the relative positions of points on, above or beneath the surface of the earth, with respect to each other, by vertical and horizontal distances, angles and directions. The purpose of surveying (open cast mines) is to determine the dimensions and contour of any part of the earths surface, i.e. to prepare a plan or map, establish boundaries of land, measure areas and volume, and select a suitable site for an engineering project or mining project. Surveying of banduhurang mines(open cast mines) with the help of an instrument known as total-station. Total station survey: Atotal station survey is an optical instrument used as a primary contrivance for modern surveying. It is a combination of an electronic theodolite (transit), an electronic distance meter (EDM) and a software running on an external computer known as data collector. When this instrument are combined and interfaced with EDM and electronics data collectors they become total stations. It also called electronic tachometers (ET).
Features of total stations: The total stations system offers more functionality and greater flexibility for a wider variety of survey applications. The large display is positioned under the telescope to give user access to much more information at a glance. Depending on the type of total stations used, (GSI) Geo Serial Interface provides a specific set of commands considering the instrument series functionality.
Function of total stations:- Can be used in layout of a place. Can be used for finding out the co ordinates, Can also be work as digital theodolite. If it is fix vertical then it can also work as auto level. It is used to find the height and depth.
Construction details of Ground Hopper in U.C.I.L mines, turamdih:
Ground hopper is constructed at U.C.I.L mines. The main purpose of ground hopper is to carry the ore and transfer it to other part. Generally in U.C.I.L mines the ore that is extracted is dumped on the hopper and then the hopper slide and transfer the dumped ore to the U.C.I.L mill for grinding and chemical treatment for further utilization of ore. It is one of the most important project that is constructed at mines for underground transportation purpose. Total RCC work is done in the construction. Nearly, rupees 1 crore had invested on this ground hopper construction.
Construction details of R.C.C Hill Tank:
It is constructed on the tall hill which is present in the township of U.C.I.L mines. On the hill it is constructed so that to store water to supply it to the U.C.I.L mill and mines for various purpose.
The capacity of this hill tank is 350 cubic meter. It store the waste water coming from mines and then supply it to water treatment plant with pressure where the water is treated and then again the water is supplied to the hill tank and from hill tank he water is supplied to mines and mill . It is total R.C.C tank. Around rupees 50 lakhs (approx) invested on this project.
Construction details of D-Type quarter at tmd township.
It is constructing in the area of 117.39 meter square .It is meant to made to satisfy full need for a person. It is constructed in a smart way, in constructing D-type brick work with the use of R.C.C. for finishing work is done. With brick and RCC electrification work is also done to satisfy the electric need. Various components of this quarter are: Balcony- 2 nos Bedroom-2 nos Master bedroom- 1 nos Dinning + dry room- 1 Study room- 1 Smart kitchen-1 Toilet- 2 nos
Construction cost for 3 blocks (6 units) is estimated around 1 crore (approx) .
Construction with details of science laboratory in A.E.C. School, tmd:
The laboratory is made for student scientific purpose. There are three labs that are constructed Physics lab, chemistry lab and biology lab. Around 45 lakhs invested on this construction. It is constructed in area of square feet. Total RCC and brick work is done with finishing work too. Electrification work is also done to satisfy the electric need.
Estimation work of room of lab: There are two methods for measuring and estimating the wall that are- Wall to wall method Centre line method
Construction details of retaining wall of ore yard at hopper area in U.C.I.L mines, tmd :
It is constructing with the estimated cost of 41 lakh (approx).it is constructing near the hopper area. It is around 180 meter in length. The place where it is constructing has soil bearing capacity of 10MT/m. The main bar used is of 20 @200 C/C. The concrete grade shall be used is M20 unless stated. The main purpose of constructing this retaining wall is to stop the sliding of soil that will be filled inside it. The retaining wall will act as a barrier for soil . it is generally constructed on the ends of a bridge or pool.
Details of Hill road at talsa village, besides U.C.I.L Turamdih Township: To control the landslide and flooding due to moving water from hill and to avoid breakage of road. There is way used to stop it in some extent. Hill road is generally constructed on or near the hill. As we know excess of rain causes flow of water and thus water flows from hill to road and can break or slide road. So to control this property loss we should have to construct road with a proper planning and management. Several things with proper planning are done here before constructing a hill road: Drainage system has made near the road and at the end of hill slope. water pipe are fixed inside the ground that carries flow of excess water through drain and transfer it to nearby river. Retaining wall has also construed hear to control sliding or breaking of road. So a proper manage and planning is done here to control hazardous accidents. If it should have been also done in uttrakhand , then I think this much disaster would not had happen.
Visit to health physics (B.A.R.C) and water treatment plant in Turamdih Township:
In my training period I also had visited to health physics that is constructing in our township for U.C.I.L purpose. The construction is going in a great pace and almost half the work has been done. There I came to know about the component and material that are used to construct it. It is costly project as it is very important for our U.C.I.L Company.
I also had visited to the water treatment plant where water is treated and supply to our townships flats. It is already constructed and it is surrounded in larger areas. A lot of civil works had been done for constructing it. It is one of most important building for U.C.I.L and Turamdih Township. It is a big example of application of civil engineering.
