INDUSTRIAL VISITS

JULY 2017

Staff and Students of Civil Engineering Central Railway Workshop,Manmad

On 28th

July 2017, Civil engineering staff and students of TE visited the Central Engineering

Railway Workshop, Manmad. In Central Railway Workshop work carried out for the design of

5

trusses, girders, rolled steel sections, rails, cutting, drilling, welding, bolting, painting and

finishing etc. From this visit student have understood the manufacturing process for various

sections that are used as structural members such as beams, columns, trusses built up sections,

long span girders, rails and their connections. Methodology of fabrications, Advance methods for

fabrications and erections of various components for the Structural members are also

apprehended by the students practically.

SEPTEMBER 2017

Visit to Koyna Dam

The Koyna Dam is one of the largest dams in Maharashtra, India. It is rubble concrete dam

constructed on Koyna river which rises in Mahabaleshwar, a hill station in Sahyadri ranges. It is

located in Koyna Nagar, Satara district nestled in the Western Ghats on the state highway

between Chiplun and Karad. The department of Civil Engineering, N.D.M.V.P.S.’s K.B.T.

College Of Engineering organized a site visit to the Koyna Dam on 19th

September, 2017 for

Third Year Civil Students. In this visit, Students studied and observed the component parts and

working of Hydroelectric Power Plant and discharge through the spillway. Executive Engineer

Bagade sir of Koyna Dam kindly permitted for the visit of the dam. Mr. Rane sir and his team

guided students during visit and showed us all dam features.

Meteorological Station Visit

Third year Civil students visited Meteorological Station K.T.H.M. College, Nashik. The students

got the opportunity to see different parameters (Anemometer, Automatic recording rain gauge

station-float type, Dry and Wet thermometer, maximum and minimum thermometer, etc.) and

working on this station. 78 students from Third Year Civil Engineering took the benefit of this

visit. The students were guided by Mr. N. U. Rathod and Mr. Ravi Mishra from Geographical

Department K.T.H.M. College, Nashik.

The Big 5 Construct India

SE civil students visited Bombay exhibition centre for “THE BIG 5 CONSTRUCT INDIA”

construction related exhibition. We saw there are many new products related to constructional

techniques and materials. Many eco friendly products were also to be seen there. We also

attended seminar to learn about safety on construction site. We were at the exhibition for about 3-

4hours and learned many new and modern techniques used in construction nowadays. Many

times saving techniques like slip formwork was also at the exhibition, which would help us infast

and easy construction. Companies from all around the world were at the exhibition for displaying

their products. All together it was a great experience visiting the exhibition and we learnt a lot

about the constructional technology used all around the world.

Geological Study Tour

The geological study tour was arranged for the BE Civil Engineering students under the

guidance of Dr. K. T. Patil along with Ms. Murkute M. B. and Sonawane K. R., from 08/09/2017

to 12/09/2017. The tour was planned to visit various locations like Dudhganga Dam,

Kalamawadi, Malawan, Sindhudurg Fort, Murud- Janjira Fort and coastal region of

Harihareshwar etc.Our class of B.E. Civil consisting of 65 students and 3 teaching staff were

taken to field visit. The Journey was made by bus for the convenience of field observations. This

visit gave students lots of ideas regarding engineering works and geology. Students also gained

knowledge to analyse the engineering significance of various landforms. So the visit was fruitful.
