ABSTRACT
Metro rail transportation occupies a unique and world class mass rapid transit system
amongst the modern transportation means Presently, the Delhi Metro network consists of
about 218.17 Km with 164 stations along with six more stations of the Airport Express Link.
The network has now crossed the boundaries of Delhi to reach NOIDA and Ghaziabad in
Uttar Pradesh, Gurgaon and Faridabad in Haryana. Having seen the utility and efficacy of
metro rail transportation, other states have also adopted the same model eg. Metro rail in
Noida and Greater Noida, Metro Rail in Lucknow, Metro Rail in Jaipur, Metro Rail in Kochi
and Metro Rail in Mumbai etc.
I am fortunate as I have been granted permission to understand Metro rail execution in
DMRC/NMRC work sites and DMRC/NMRC authorities have been kind enough to allow me
to learn and gain experience in Metro rail execution in Noida - Greater Noida stretch. I will
remain ever indebted to DMRC/NMRC for the kind permission. The execution of metro rail
network is to be done between Noida Sector-71 in Noida to Delta Depot Station in Greater
Noida but I was allowed to understand the work from sector 147-149 of Noida city. The
stretch is totally elevated and consists of about 29.707 km track and 21 metro stations. The
metro network will be catering to approximately 65000 passengers per day.

Introduction to Noida Metro Rail Corporation
Everyone who has travelled by Delhi Metro wants one in his or her city. Today there
is a national resurgence in public interest in public urban transport:- Dr. Manmohan Singh
Prime Minister of India in 2006.
Delhi metro was meant to solve the Delhis traffic problems which had become
almost unmanageable. The first step to build a metro system in the city was taken in early
1990. In 1995 Government of India (GOI) and the government of national capital territory of
Delhi (GNCTD) formed the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (DMRC) under the companies
act to construct the Delhi Metro.
Conceived as a social sector project, a significant portion of the project cost was
funded through a soft loan provided by the Japanese government through Japan Bank
International Corporation (JBIC). The rest was contributed by Government India & GNCTD
through equity.
DMRC faced any number of technical and systematic challenges during the
construction of the Metro. However due to thorough planning, an effective project design and
a we mean business culture it was able to overcome all these hurdles. In the process of
implementing the project, DMRC has gained a lot of technical expertise, which would be
used by other cities in India and abroad to builds metro system similar to Delhi Metro.
A new metro rail network will shortly be developed between Noida and Greater
Noida, measuring 29.707 KM. It will be developed at an estimated cost of Rs 5064 Crores.
The detailed Project Report (DPR) has already been prepared by Delhi Metro Rail
Construction and Noida Metro Rail Construction has been formed under the chairmen ship of
the chief Secretary of Uttar Pradesh.

Literature Survey of Project
Starting from Noida city center in sector 32, the proposed metro corridor will lead towards
Greater Noida via stations in sector 50, 51, 78,101, 81 on Dadri Road, 83, 85, 137, 142,143
147, and 153 and sector 149 in Noida. It will enter Greater Noida through knowledge park II
and transverse Pari Chowk, sector alpha I and II before terminating at depot station proposed
near recreational green, knowledge park IV in Greater Noida. The metro alignment is
proposed to be elevated. The metro rail link is expected to be commissioned by December
2017.
Geometrical design norms are based on international practices adopted for similar
metro system with standard gauge on the assumption that permissible speed on the section is
limited to 85 KMPH. Planning for any higher speed is not desirable as the inter-station
distance is about is about 1 to 1.5 km and trains will not be able to achieve higher speed.
The tracks will be carried on box shaped elevated decking supported by single
circular piers generally spaced at 25 meters center and located on the median or one side of
the road.

programme.
57
PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED DURING THE TRAINING:
1. Verticality of shuttering in piers.

2. Offset in joints.
3. Honeycombing and Spalling of concrete.
REMEDIAL STEPS
1. For assuring the verticality of column, proper arrangement of plumb bob should be
done so that accuracy is maintained within limits. If there is still some error, then the
shuttering should be held tightly in position using steel bars and welding.
2. Sometimes, in spite of best efforts in matching the mould panels and covering the
minor gap between the panels, offsets in concrete cannot be eliminated. Though it
does not affect strength, it is a strain to eye and therefore calls for removal of it. This
can be chipped out by small chisel and area should be smoothened by grinding.
3. Inspite of careful handling of formwork at the time of demoulding some concrete

comes out. This part of the segment requires to be rebuilt in its proper shape and
profile. Concrete of same mix should be used for making this area. Before the
placement of concrete, the parent concrete area should be cleaned thoroughly and all
loosely bonded materials shall be removed.
Overall Benefits of Training
Industrial Training is a class healed at site to provide an enhanced understanding of the

outside working environment before the student graduate. Student like civil and urban
engineering and other fields also take this practice. The main aim of this practice (industrial
training) is that to teach students communication with different workers or employees, to
improve practical skill what they learned at class, up grading the theoretical knowledge in
addition to the class, improve their leadership skill, team playing skill and etc. I have
acquired much knowledge in different tasks as explained below in different section. That
different knowledge gets me a good performance in the training period and I gain an
experience that helps me after the graduation in the upcoming working era of mine.
58
Improving practical skill
The aim of the internship is to address more practical knowledge for student. So, I found a
practical knowledge at the site as much possible within the four months. The knowledge we
have learn in the class is helpful to get those practical or real work in the site and totally
different from the actual knowledge gained from the class. Thus I found some knowledge in
the site which helps me to work with the site environment or site peoples. Some of the
practical knowledge I gain from the training class was:
Construction of formwork and false work for some reinforced concrete

structure.
In any construction work the first stage before casting of concrete is designing and
constructing of form work. As I explained in the work procedure the formwork and false
work must be stiff and must resist the fresh concrete till the concrete gain its strength. Thus
the construction stage of form work was new to me since Im new for the practical world now
I gain practical knowledge about how it is worked and erected.
Bar bending, positioning, splicing and tying, according the specified

drawing.
After the formwork and false work is ready the bar bending, positioning and tying work goes
next. This work is done based on the working drawing provided in the working drawings
(structural drawing) by the design team of that specified structure. In most case it was new
for me to see such work since it is a practical work only performed at the site.
Surveying on building construction.

We conduct the surveying class in the field for its lab session of the course in the normal
class. But we dont know about how it is going to be in building construction in particular
and in which particular stage of the construction work it used either the super structure or sub
structure.
Concrete is a vital material in any construction of reinforced concrete
Concrete is a vital material in any construction of reinforced concrete and is the main
constituent or ingredient of any reinforced concrete structure. Thus it is mandatory to know
this material in practice including how it is treated, placed (poured), mixed and the equipment
used for those work. I got the practical knowledge in terms of those listed aspects of concrete.
Different construction equipment (machines) and their use in

construction site.
Many of great structures before are a product of numerous human power and countless days
inspired by great powers. Machines are capable of handling tough work which may be
beyond the scope of human labor to be performed. They can be expected to work with fair
degree of effectiveness even under adverse weather, climate or topographical conditions. I
generally know how equipments are used in the site including their specific purpose.
59
Upgrading the theoretical knowledge
The training is not only depending on the practical aspect but it also help students to upgrade
or increase knowledge on already that they have. I try to integrate the practical knowledge
with that of the theory learned in the class in different place in order to get more knowledge
than the theory we learned on the class. I got the internship class very interesting in terms of
upgrading a theoretical knowledge and I learned from the site some theories that we havent
learn in the class room by searching different related literature. Some of this is:
Quantity surveying
Structural design of shear wall and its advantage
Construction equipment
Report writing
I learned those things in exclusive cause it is hard to read and understand everything from
books and asking some peoples at site to those things ashamed me. Generally I change myself
alit bit after the internship period in my knowledge than before I took it.
Upgrading interpersonal communication skill
Communication is sharing or exchanging information or ideas with others in order to get

some messages and knowledge. The communications systems within the building design and
construction enterprise has taken on a large role in the achievement of profitability and
efficiency. A basic understanding of communication systems is beneficial to all building
professionals and trades, as they all play a part in the success of the construction.
Construction is one of the places that ask a good communication skill either managing every
trade of work or asking what is gowning on over there. So, communication is an important
way of learning, which can be defined formally as the act, process, or experience of gaining
knowledge or skills and sharing what we know. Cool communication is important in the real
constructions world and it can appear in different forms as speaking, writing, and listening. In
the site the most things I gain is due to communication with other workers like engineers,
skilled and non-skilled workers, Forman etc. in some place/case it is very difficult to talk
workers and ask them what we want because of that they underestimate us and sometimes
they are not eager to tell.
Improving team playing skill
Team playing skill for construction work Team works, especially for engineers, involve in
every piece of task and achieving good team playing skill is essential for Effective
completion of tasks and Increasing productivity. This skill already exists in my personality in
the campus due to different assignment and project works that I work together with student.
But this skill is more than this in the construction site. In the construction site the work is
already a team work and it needs more closeness of workers to solve problems arise in
different aspects, misunderstanding in the drawing or working methodology and consult
every work. We the student at the site also works together as a team to get more
understanding and share ideas. More or less I improve my team work status by working
together with different professionals, student and workers as a whole in the civil engineering
works and consulting.

Improving leadership skill
Leadership is the process of influencing individuals or groups to accomplish an

organizational goal or mission. I have seen how each worker is controlled and organized to
perform its day to day activities. Among all other managements I have seen that human
resource management is the most important one. I have actually observed the method of
controlling the working time and amount of work done by each worker so that the work
proceeds according to the work plan (schedule).Leadership is a skill to guide, control and
monitor peoples. For effective leadership i understood that personal values like confidence,
effective communication and devotion are very important.
In order to be good Leadership the following criteria should be fulfilled.
Those are:-
Be technically proficient (skilled with different knowledges).

Seek responsibility and take responsibility for your actions.
Make sound and timely decisions.
Know your people and look out for their well-being.
Keep your workers informed.
Develop a sense of responsibility in your workers.
Ensure that tasks are understood, supervised, and accomplished.
Use the full capabilities of your organization.
Listening to others.
Being organized.
Able to communicate clearly and efficiently.
In the site it was impossible to us to lead anything because we go to the site tolearn about the
site work and we dont have enough ability to handle such works in such short time but we
have learned how to become a good leader and the main signal of a good leader.
Finally what I take hold of is Becoming a leader isnt easy because it takes a conscious
commitment and consistent effort to develop ones leadership skills
Work ethics and related issues
The concept of work ethics may be summarized as the overall quality in ones behavior
towards appreciating the process of work flow and performing rather well on the job so that
this work flow will not be jeopardized in the long run. During my internship program, I could
say that I have managed to do my side of the job description with a high spirit and enthusiasm
so that there was a smooth flow of activities both in the office and on construction site. Work
ethics involve such characteristics as honesty, responsibility, reliability, accountability and
etc.
61
Punctuality
Punctuality is one of the major issues that could be raised when talking about work ethics and
on my side I tried meet this criteria by attending to my working station in time so that there
will not be any delay on the activities planned for that day. The behaviour that one shows
towards his peers and colleagues is also one manifestation of the concept of work ethics.
Personally, I always respected and gave priority the employers of the company. Elements of
work ethics that worth mentioning are:-punctuality, honesty, reliability, office discipline,
corporation and responsibility.
We as a student should follow the rules and regulations set by the company and avoid
complaining any work load, activity or assignment that may arise on the site or office. It is a
pleasure of supervisors if we have a good work ethics and we are responsible for any given
tasks. Since the aim of internship is to let students know the outside environment pertinent to
their field, which includes of such the above dealt qualities, I was with the great interest that I
tried to meet my responsibilities and work ethics that I suppose to be fulfil by my side.
Conclusion
The entire period of Industrial Training has given me good & important practical exposure of
construction work. At the end of the Industrial Training under SAM INDIA, I feel myself
better equipped and ready to face the field problems related to Civil Engineering works. In
these four& half months, I have learnt how to deal with Authorities and workers under
supervision and I have become familiar with the fact that the field work is much difficult
from theoretical knowledge. But until you dont have the theoretical knowledge, the practical
work is very difficult to carry-out and understand. Working with experienced engineers has
enhanced my technical skills to a great extent for which I am grateful to them. Their
professional approach towards work is appreciable. The training has provided me with much
needed field exposure to shape up my thinking in a better way as a professional making me a
lot more capable to face the challenges of life.
