A day after Sheila Dikshit the Delhi CM expressed “nervousness” about the tardy pace of Commonwealth Games projects, she has warned contractors on Monday that those responsible for delays would be blacklisted, apart from ‘‘other contractual actions’’ against them.

“We cannot afford to let down our nation. We are committed to making the Games grand success. The government will not listen to excuses for delay in completion of projects", with just nine months left for the event and alarm bells ringing about whether Delhi will be able to make it or not, the threat of blacklisting may have come a bit late. So many projects have been delayed at the planning stage itself that blacklisting is hardly the solution at the moment people.

So, what can be done to increase the pace of commonwealth game projects and finish them in time? Do share your views on this..

Effective Usage of Technology, BIM

idea posted by keshav m Project Architect, adonis designs

Even today most of Architects are preparing their drawings on treaditional CAD softwares. whereas technology advanced to BIM and other related software which constructs the buildings virtually and finds the clashes in software before going to execute any thing on site.

Clash detection and other software programs are much helpful at the atage of design development prior to execution where we run entire 3D model for clash detection. then drawings are certified and acan be issued as GFC(Good for Construction).

L&T and other gaints in the industry are already using such techniques for airport construction. there 0% of clashes found at site.

Effective Supervision & Augmentation of resources.

idea posted by H K Prabhakar Project Management & Recruitments

The following steps are urgently needed to be taken for timely completion of works of Commonwealth Games:

1. Effective and constant monitoring.

2. Termination of contracts of those contractors whose physical progress is 25% or more behind schedule.

3. Review of resources of other contractors to judge their capability to complete works in time.

3. Calculation of manpower , material and machinery requirements for completion of each project in time.

4. Directing the contractors to increase their resources as per above calculations.

5. Change of departmental staff where-ever required.

I completely agree with Mr. prabhakars points, and some hard decisions should be taken to achieve the task at hand, if  the projects are not on track remove the team and put a new team which will get you things done, so nice points overall...thanks for participating.

I completely agree with Mr.Prabhakar, if these points are followed strictly yes the project will be a success.

Honesty and Dedication

idea posted by Saleel Deshpande Sr.Architectural Co-ordinator, Dar Al-Handasah(Shair and Partners)

Do you all think preparing for the common wealth games is a task which cannot be completed in time?! Well we all know and understand that we lack in the spirit of honesty. Delhi the capital of India is hosting the games next year, when was it declared that India will be hosting the games for 2010- way back in 2006 … guys it’s not that we lack in talent, it’s the reason that we lack in Honesty, we are corrupt…I will say every Indian is corrupt…our genes have developed in such a manner that we inherit corruption. Think on….. This every person in India everyday in his life uses corruption…stop this and we will achieve success. With the commonwealth games also the same thing has happened…….do you think really there is no one who knows everything about the infrastructure development required for the common wealth games….sure there will be, but he/she /they  is/are not acting or not allowed to act…for someone’s or somebody’s personal interests….So to my opinion we (India) will fail to complete the task in hand. The only quality of each and every Individual required at this time is honesty and dedication.

I apologize if I have said/written anything which is not acceptable,but this is what I see as a third person when we see other countries.

Well I agree to the views of Pragya, Keshav and Mr.Mohd.Bakhsh, but my views are in addition to theirs, technology after all works when a human mind works in right direction, Software’s can work fast if the person working on it is clear in his views and honest to his Job, collecting and updating activities will help you only when the people over there honestly jot down the correct entriesand not manipulated ones ,and confusions can be eradicated if things are  well understood and not that mind is always trying to think how I can earn more money out of this.

Even now if the Authorities wake up and be honest to their Job and keep corruption aside till the completion of the projects for common wealth game, I am sure we can make it a grand success.

When we know  the Start Date of Games during 2006 itself, why we are hurrying up the things till the last second. This is typical way with the Games & Sports business in India. Can't we call this lack of Honesty and dedication. Unfortunately here, we give lot of priority and importance to the Officials of the Games. who have their own interests to be taken care in the first place than in the actual games. When the Business interests are taken in the Driver's seat, Conducting the games naturally take second priority and every thing follow suit. What we are Lacking are to be addressed first. Then Other things can be sorted out.

You need not apologize Mr.Saleel. What you said is true. It is the apathy of our people which makes the nation's pride go in drain, not the technology. BIM is only a new technology by which we will know, in advance, all the technical bottlenecks. But, the delay in the project in question, is not a technical problem. It is the people in power who are delaying it and compromising on the pride of their own country.

One of my colleague, on telling that the BJP has changed the guard, replied in a way as if he has nothing to do with the BJP. “I do not know where the BJP is heading” were his words. Even if we like Congress to be in power, we need a strong and efficient opposition, otherwise which the whole democratic process, the whole administration will fail. If we cannot have a strong opposition then we do not need democracy at all. We can well do with an emergency or dictatorship (under a person like T.N.Sheshan) for ten years, so that we can wipe out all corrupt and inefficient Govt. servants and politicians. It is they who compromise on the pride of our country.

If we do not have our own pride we cannot do anything on global arena.

Punitive action at this stage will serve negative purpose.It is time for evaluation of performance and help the agencies to speed up the pace of work.OST or open space technology smooth en the rough patches being encountered in the progress of work or each activities.This should be sorted out now by calling a meeting .The best alternative is to form a watch dog panel to monitor the ongoing activities on day to day basis.

Bury the confusion

idea posted by Pragya Kothari Construction-Heavy, DLF

It is seen that most of the projects are not completed mainly due to confusion that is there in the state departments which needs to give clearances and many stadiums like the one "Chhatrasal Stadium" missed deadlines because of the confusion about parking. And those guilty are in the government’s own departments or agencies like the MCD and the DUAC. What action is possible against them? I mean even after so much controversy behind the games like whether Delhi will be able to successfully host or not, and all the CWG directors coming to India and have expressed their views like how bad the situation is, even after that officials are not serious here, it is high time that everybody joins in and makes these games a success which more than half of the world will be watching, the work should be carried in a synchronised manner than haphazard manner which is happening right now.  So taking out these confusions that are happening is the major bottle neck that the games is facing.

Regular monitoring

idea posted by malladi madhukumar AGM -MKTG, Andhra Cements Ltd

1. Regular monitoring.

2. Mobilisation of resources.

Since it is a prestiege question mobilisation of resources should be on war footing.

A group of administratrators should be given the task withnecessary delegation of the authority to complete the work intime.

Find the Bug and Kill it !!!

idea posted by Khalil Qureshi Civil Engineer-Other, IGBC AP, Free Lancer

There seems to be a lot of problems right from the designing stage, to execution, to decision making. We need to eliminate all kinds of bugs at every stage and streamline the process. Everyone involved in the project  should knows his/her responsibility and should be able to take appropriate steps as and when required.

Increase the cooparation, coordination,Coptation

idea posted by Mallaya Pandravada GM-Project , GSSInfraTech Pvt Ltd

Cooperate the construction agencies by releasing the bills and improve their cash flow.

Coordinate the connected departments Project Engineering, Town planning and HVAC and take the overall Progress review meetings. Ask for the catch-up programs where ever there is delay. Release the incentives wherever there is achievement is ahead of schedule approved.

Co-opt the contractors by declaring the bonuses for the works completed ahead of time schedule and thus allowing follow-up works pickup speed.

All the government contracts are full of clauses for liquidated damages and client centered. Now it is high time reconcile, reschedule and recover the time in most efficient and practical way.
