Module 6
Equipment for construction of transporting facilities 06
- Construction of railway lines using track laying machine. Methods, techniques and equipment involved in the construction of Metro, mono and maglev trains. Special requirements of the permanent way in each case.
- Equipment required for construction and operation of an airport and sea port.
Course Outcomes:
On successful completion of this course, students shall be able to:
- Understand the use/applications of various conventional construction equipment and select the best out of them for a particular site requirement.
- Know modern methods/equipment used for underground as well as underwater tunnelling.
- Compare conventional and modern methods of formwork on the basis of productivity, reuse value, ease of erection and dismantling, flexibility offered and overall cost.
- Understand the techniques involved and the equipment required thereof for construction of various transporting facilities.
- Gain knowledge about the setting up of different kinds of the power generating structures.
- Select proper equipment for construction of transporting facilities based on requirements.

Oral Examination:
The oral examination shall be based upon the entire syllabus and the term work.
Term Work:
The term work shall comprise of the neatly written report based on assignments (One for each module) and site visits (minimum 2). The assignments shall be given covering the entire syllabus and preferably different questions can be given to different group of students so that they themselves will create the question bank and answers for the same. This course should be taught through maximum site visits and demonstration of the working processes and equipment through animations/videos to make the delivery most effective. The difference between conventional and modern method of carrying out a construction process should be clearly known to the students. Site visits to various ongoing infra projects especially in Mumbai Metropolitan region (MMR) can be of great help to the students. The site visits should be planned in such a way so that maximum equipment/techniques can be seen actually by the students. The report on site visit shall also form a part of the term work. Distribution of Term Work Marks: The marks of the term-work shall be judiciously awarded depending upon its quality. The final certification and acceptance of the term-work warrants the satisfactory and the appropriate completion of the assignments; and the minimum passing marks to be obtained by the students. The following weightage of marks shall be given for different components of the term work.
- Assignments: 10 Marks
- Report on Site Visits: 10 Marks
- Attendance: 05 Marks
Further, while giving weightage of marks on the attendance, following guidelines shall be resorted to: 75%- 80%: 03 Marks; 81%- 90%: 04 Marks; 91% onwards: 05 Marks
