Project Description

Client: Khanvel Resort

Structure design: Arch shape Structure.

Area: 1850sqft.

Steel: MS.

Paint: One coat of Epoxy primer and two coats of Epoxy paint (Asian Paint).

Fabric: Serge Ferrari (French) PVDF-coated FR Fabric.

Project completion time: 20 days.

Challenges:

  1. Structural Integrity: Ensuring the arch-shaped structure is stable and can withstand environmental forces like wind, rain, and potential seismic activity.
  2. Material Sourcing and Supply Chain Issues: Acquiring the required amount of MS steel, Serge Ferrari fabric, epoxy primer, and paint within the specified time frame can be a logistical challenge, especially if there are delays in the supply chain.
  3. Precision Engineering: Achieving the exact curvature and dimensions of the arch requires precise engineering and fabrication to ensure all components fit together perfectly.
  4. Weather Dependency: Weather conditions can significantly impact construction, particularly if it involves outdoor work. Rain, extreme heat, or other adverse weather conditions may lead to delays.
  5. Painting Process: Applying epoxy paint requires controlled environmental conditions to ensure a smooth and even finish. Proper ventilation and temperature control may be necessary.
  6. Fabric Tensioning: Achieving the correct tension in the Serge Ferrari fabric is crucial for both aesthetic and structural reasons. This process may require specialized equipment and expertise.
  7. Regulatory Compliance: Meeting local building codes, obtaining necessary permits, and ensuring compliance with safety regulations can be a complex process.
  8. Quality Control: Ensuring that all materials meet the required standards, including testing for the structural integrity of the steel, the quality of the fabric, and the application of the epoxy paint.
  9. Time Constraints: Completing the project in just 20 days is an ambitious timeline. Coordinating various teams and tasks to stay on schedule is a significant challenge.
  10. Project Management: Coordinating different aspects of the project, from design and engineering to procurement and construction, requires efficient project management to ensure everything runs smoothly.
  11. Specialized Labor: Finding skilled workers with experience in constructing arch-shaped structures and working with specific materials like Serge Ferrari fabric may be a challenge.
  12. Transport and Handling: Managing the transportation and handling of large and potentially delicate components like the arch segments and fabric rolls requires careful planning and execution.
  13. Quality Assurance Testing: Conduct rigorous testing to ensure that the finished structure meets safety and performance standards, especially considering its unique design.
  14. Aesthetic Consistency: Ensuring that the final structure matches the aesthetic vision of Khanvel Resort while also meeting all functional requirements.
  15. Client Communication and Expectations Management: Keeping the client informed about progress, potential delays, and any necessary design adjustments to manage expectations effectively.

Addressing these challenges will require a combination of careful planning, skilled labor, and effective project management to ensure the successful completion of the arch-shaped structure for Khanvel Resort.
