Project Management Consultancy

Project Brief

Civikor Consultant Private Limited was engaged as the Project Management Consultant for the execution supervision of a Road Widening and Minor Bridge Development Project.

Although the project’s DPR had been prepared by a third-party consultant, Civikor undertook a comprehensive technical and strategic review during the mobilisation phase to validate design assumptions, regulatory compliance, and long-term execution feasibility.

Key Challenges Identified

During technical review and site assessment, Civikor identified critical discrepancies within the originally proposed project framework:

  • Bridge design needed statutory proof checking. The bridge design included in the DPR required proof checking and approval from VJTI prior to execution.

  • Major observations from VJTI. Technical scrutiny by VJTI resulted in major observations, necessitating a structural redesign of the bridge system.

  • Width short of the Development Plan. The DPR proposed a carriageway of 12 m to 18 m, while the sanctioned Development Plan (DP) defines the corridor as a 24 m wide road.

  • Conflict with long-term planning. The reduced width conflicted with long-term urban mobility planning and future infrastructure requirements.

Civikor's Value-Driven Intervention

Recognising the strategic importance of optimising the project before execution, Civikor delivered a multi-disciplinary intervention involving technical validation, stakeholder management and design enhancement:

Construction monitoring and supervision on the bridge site
1Statutory compliance

Bridge proof checking & redesign

  • Spearheaded the initiation and coordination process for bridge proof checking with VJTI.

  • Managed redesign and engineering modifications of the bridge structure in line with VJTI’s technical observations.

  • Secured proof-checking approval for the revised bridge design, ensuring statutory and structural compliance.

Site inspection and quality control along the road corridor

24 m road development strategy

  • Conducted detailed corridor-level site verification to assess the feasibility of achieving the full 24 m DP road width.

  • Validated the absence of major physical encroachments within the proposed widening alignment.

  • Coordinated with industrial stakeholders for the voluntary adjustment of minor structures and landscaped areas within municipal boundaries.

  • Recommended and enabled execution planning for the revised 24 m road development strategy.
