WORK CONTINUES WITH FULL FLOW EVEN DURING LOCKDOWN
DMRC's
MD, Dr. Mangu Singh and senior officers resumed work from office today. During
the lockdown, meetings are being organised via video conference to discuss a
range of important issues and webinars, online courses are being made available
to the employees for their knowledge and awareness enhancement.
On
the project front, DMRC’s team of architects and designers are regularly
coordinating with site personnel, design consultants and contractors to
finalise all the designs for the ensuing construction work of Phase 4.
‘Building Information Modeling’ (BIM), an online mechanism has been devised
through which designs, drawings and 3d models can be uploaded online. Officers
can leave their comments and observations through the same software and no hard
copy or print out is necessary.
Senior officers are taking frequent meetings with the architects, engineers,
contractors etc via video conference. The engineers deputed at the sites are
also regularly conducting meetings through video conference to deliberate on a
range of issues, which would be encountered once the construction work starts.
Issues such as design submission and finalization, procurement orders by
contractors, manpower deployment at sites etc are being dealt with. Daily
Project Reports (DPR) are being prepared to keep a tab on the overall progress
made.
The
Safety department is organising frequent webinars for project engineers on
various aspects of construction site safety. Five webinars have already been
organised and another two are planned this week. More than 400 engineers across
the DMRC hierarchy are attending these webinars. A webinar on the topic 'Fire
Safety at Home' shall be organised on 19th April for the family members of DMRC
employees by the Safety department.
In
addition, DMRC's employees have been permitted to take up over a number of
online courses, both generic and specialised, which may help them in their
careers. These courses are being conducted by reputed institutions and the
Human Resources department has issued detailed guidelines regarding the same.
The expenditure incurred in taking up the courses shall be reimbursed by DMRC.
The initiative has received tremendous response as over 600 employees have
registered for such courses so far.
On
the Operations and Maintenance front, all terminal Stations, depot entry/exit
stations and interchange stations àre being manned by staff to keep the Metro
system in good shape.
Passenger
services continue to remain closed as part of the nationwide lockdown to combat
the COVID-19 pandemic. Any information on the resumption of services shall be
issued separately.
