DESIGN CHALLENGES OF GREEN FIELD INDUSTRIAL PROJECTS

1. WHITEPAPER DESIGN CHALLENGES OFGREENFIELD INDUSTRIAL PROJECTS

2. With regards to Industrial archietcture, Greenfield industrial projects are those projects where the land is unused and there is no existing structure on the land. The greenfield means there are no boundaries imposed due to existing building and infrastructure. The advantages of greenfield project are: Space : the space is not restricted and can be utilised and optimised by the designer. Planning: The land can be planned in terms of future usage and a master plan can be created accordingly. Building Sizing: Size of the building is not an issue Expansion: Future expansion can be planned. Roads and infrastructure can be planned A few of the drawbacks are: Infrastructure has to be planned according to availability. Environmental permits have to be considered Suppliers have to be sourced. Temporary offices and Workers quarters have to be created Whatisthereforyou?

3. Manufacturing in India, "Make in India is the motto for current business and political leaders in India. Cost advantage and new market opportunities are tempting global companies to operate in India. The benefits of local assembly production, faster production and faster go to the market to the customers' are the key reasons. If you are a global player and if you have a manufacturing facility, It gives local customers the confidence of your long-term commitment of support. However, right from the sourcing licenses, contractors, approvals, vendors, procurement, quality of construction with global standards, one-time completion, and other documentation needs a collaborative support system. Selection of a site is a vital decision for any industry. The decision has to be taken based on multiple factors such as cost of the construction, availability of manpower, access to highways, availability of required land and many more that depends on the location. The process selection of industrial sites includes a complex array of factors involving economic, social, technical, environmental, and political issues that may result in conflicting objectives. Nowadays, in the post-industrial society and knowledge-based society, people become the most critical resource. INDUSTRIALLAND ORSITESELECTION FORGREENFIELD INDUSTRIALPROJECTS

4. INDUSTRIAL CORRIDORS A plot of land could be purchased from any of the following: 1. Each State has its own Authority for Industrial Areas such as SIPCOT, KIADB, APSIIC, GIDC, MIDC and many more 2. There are many private players who develop Industrial Areas such as Mahindra World City, One Hub, and Sricity 3. Many corridor’s have also been designated Industrial Corridors Eg: Mumbai-Delhi Industrial Corridor, Bangalore- Chennai Industrial Region and Chennai- Vizag Industrial Region The purchase of plot in industrial areas ensures that the facilities required for the industry is available easily. An area earmarked for industries is always beneficial because the developer also provides the infrastructure. The areas are usually earmarked in terms of type of industry, grade of pollution etc. Some areas are segregated for non-polluting industries. Certain companies have their ancillaries also in the vicinity to reduce time and money for transportation. Sizes of the projects: Size of the plots vary based on requirements. There are options for small plots especially for small scale industries with authorities like SIDCO etc. Large scale industries like Hyundai, Tata, BMW and Maruti get a large parcel of area so that their ancillaries can also put up their factories in the vicinity. Various verticals have been given areas depending on availability of raw materials or proximity to ports.

5. In a greenfield project a research is essential prior to purchase of the plot. The following hurdles could come in the way of an industry: 1. The production related issues like a) procurement of raw materials, b) difficulty in supply of finished goods, c) Getting good manpower d) Difficulty in reaching the location due to unavailability of public transport 2. Land related issues like: a) Too big a plot or too small plot b) Natural contour of the plot may necessiate too much levelling or filling c) Plot deed not clear d) Shape of the plot could make it difficult to optimise the usage 3. There could be issues related to utilities to be provided by the development authorities like: a) Undeveloped roads b) Difficulty to get electrical connectivity c) Difficulty in getting water connections 4. Project Construction: a) Getting a good consultant b) Sourcing a good vendor for the project c) Getting the project in the planned budget d) Timely completion e) Time to Market & Go to Market Thebottlenecksaretobe anticipatedandsolved.

6. AUGUST 2019 IndustryTrends Shiftingthegeartoenergysavings Global Perspective for developing countries: For industrial buildings with a large size, both economic and environmental aspect of the structure plays an important role. For large spaces, the dimensioning is optimized to reduce the use of materials, costs and assembly work. Buildings designs are designed to reduce energy costs drastically and be very environmentally friendly. Industrial buildings are composed of frames and metal cladding of all types. The technique makes it possible to create large open volumes that are efficient, easy to maintain and adaptable to changes in demand. Steel is chosen for economic reasons, but also other purposes such as fire resistance, architectural quality and respect for the environment. The aim is, therefore, to reduce the energy impact of buildings. The effect over their entire lifetime, while optimizing economic viability, comfort, safety and health of the occupants. Energy efficiency is, therefore, a priority for any industrial construction project. In India, Industrial buildings require air conditioning and artificial lighting. However, other architectural approaches can lead to higher user comfort without resorting to it by improving the design, design and materials used. Such methods require thought at the design stage and the desire to increase the initial investment cost in the order of 10 to 15% -as it depreciated during the building's operational phase.

7. Changingtrends BioclimaticarchitectureforIndustries. Responding to optimal comfort and limiting the call to primary resources to the maximum, forces us to leave out the voracious energy solutions. Bioclimatic architecture tries to answer this challenge in the most natural way possible. It requires a holistic approach, involving a reflection on both the form and layout of buildings and materials, inspired by a traditional and vernacular architecture while using appropriate and innovative technologies. It defines as an architectural approach to take advantage of the conditions of a site and its environments such as the climate and the microclimate, geography, morphology and topography while guarding the constraints they induce. It aims at adequate comfort conditions such as temperatures, humidity levels, luminosity and insalubrity. When needed, renewable energies are favoured, such as solar, solar thermal or wind power. Bio-climatic uses many strategies, techniques and construction systems that can cool, ventilate and illuminate the interior atmosphere of a building. These techniques generally utilize locally available know-how and materials as well as simple technology-based systems, although more and more electronics are being used for their control and automated management. The "bioclimatic design" or "eco-construction" therefore refers to all the strategies, solutions and architectural techniques implemented in a project that is aware of its ecological footprint. Bringing answers to the aspirations of comfort through this approach sometimes requires actions. Contradictory, the contribution of natural light induces an increase of the risks of overheating by the rays of the sun. The fact of maximizing the natural ventilation favours the propagation of the noises. The challenge will, therefore, be to achieve the best possible balance between these different aspirations through the introduction of palliative elements, such as sunshades or sound traps, and to prioritize the demands. Today the principles of architecture traditionally come as a source of inspiration. Bioclimatic architecture aims to optimize old techniques without denying the contribution of modern technologies.

8. Driversofdesignchange The concept of designing a industry has also gone through many changes in the last decade. The present industries gives an insight to the ethos of the company. It is no longer just a mere structure where things are produced. A few trends in industrial designs are: BIM modelling: this technology helps visualise the entire facility and anticipates any fouling during construction. Digital twin technology: Utilizing digital twin platforms and reality-capture solutions reduces rework by creating an active view of the project’s progress to be tracked and compared in real-time. Green Design: Green design is essential not only for a Green Certified building but also industries who are not targeting Certification. Sustainable sources of energy like solar power, wind energy, bio energy are considered as a primary source of power. Net metering & Reduced carbon footprint are trending in the industrial sector. Zero Discharge: The Effluent Treatment and zero discharge industries help build a environment friendly brand for the industry. Water reuse helps reduce requirement of water. Manufacturing Practices such as Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, 7 S and Kaizen are considered

9. IndustrialArchitecture Design- thebestpractices There are no two opinions that a greenfield project has to be planned well in all aspects before the construction process starts. All the stakeholders of the industry - Operations, Marketing, HR, Projects, Safety - should participate while creating the objectives of the project. The timeline and budget should be planned. Any project that is planned well is executed well. The design consultants should be involved in the project conception stage. This provides with the Consultant with a firm roadmap while creating the Masterplan for the next 5-10 years. The Consultant incorporates all the requirements of the stakeholders pertaining to multiple disciplines. In industries, it always helps to have a Consulting team who have multi-disciplinary members. The coordination between multiple Consultants is reduced when a Holistic design is provided by a single consultant. A proper tender for each discipline with all the drawings helps provide the bidder with all necessary information. The bidder can quote and plan his manpower & material purchase schedule accordingly. The bidder can be tied to a project cost & schedule if the tender issued is detailed and accurate. A center of excellence at the design consultants, with the best practices will be a great initiative which enhance the design thinking, creativity, global standards and reduces the learning curve for each new project.
