BE Civil Visits Eurostampa and Indoco sites in Verna

Final-year Civil Engineering students, along with Prof. Jeffrey Valadares and Prof. Genevieve Fernandes, visited the Eurostampa and Indoco sites in Verna. The project is managed by Sapscon, with consultancy provided by Shekhar Panandikar and Associates.

During the visit, students had the chance to observe post-tensioning design principles, including grouting and tendon tensioning with jacks. They witnessed the detailed post-tensioning process, which involves placing tendons into ducts, anchoring them at one end, and using jacks to achieve the desired tension. This method enhances structural performance by effectively countering bending moments, with ducts strategically positioned where bending moments are highest.

The visit to the Indoco site also deepened their understanding of piling techniques in geotechnical engineering. Students explored various pile caps and reinforcement details, expressing gratitude for the valuable insights and practical knowledge gained from these experiences.
