• <em>Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail Project (Bullet Train) | Package C-4 Section-05 | EPC Contract - L&T Construction</em>
• <em>Project Overview & Role Context:</em>
• Worked as a Site Engineer on one of India's most ambitious infrastructure initiatives—the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail (MAHSR) Bullet Train Corridor—under Larsen & Toubro's EPC contract for Package C-4, Section 05. Engaged in the planning, execution, and quality monitoring of critical substructure elements.
• <em>Site Execution & Construction Management:</em>
• Led end-to-end site execution for bridge substructure components (pile caps, piers, and pier starters) on the high-speed rail elevated viaduct, ensuring 100% compliance with NHSRCL/L&T structural drawings and approved construction schedules.
• Supervised excavation sequencing, PCC bedding operations, formwork erection, and rebar placement across locations, maintaining strict tolerances on cover, alignment, and dimensional accuracy per project specifications.
• Coordinated concrete pouring operations for pile cap, pier starter, pier, achieving zero defects and minimizing rework on an active EPC project.
• Managed transition to the pedestal grouting phase, overseeing execution of bearing pedestals and seismic stoppers (movable and fixed type), including free-flow grouting and precise levelling.
• <em>Quality Assurance & Technical Testing:</em>
• Conducted CHSL and PIT tests on pile foundations, and performed core cutting and RQD calculations to validate geological conditions and confirm pile structural soundness ahead of cap construction.
• Enforced stringent QA/QC checklists across all execution stages, contributing directly to zero NCRs (Non-Conformance Reports) on monitored activities.
• Maintained systematic site quality records and inspection reports in strict alignment with L&T's internal quality management systems and NHSRCL audit requirements.
• <em>Project Coordination & Stakeholder Management:</em>
• Coordinated daily with planning, design, and QA/QC teams to align on construction sequences and resource deployment for a fast-tracked, high-visibility national project.
• Served as the primary site-level interface with client representatives, delivering structured progress updates and supporting site inspections.
• Tracked milestone deliverables against the project baseline schedule using MS Project and site management tools, consistently contributing to look-ahead planning.
