The India International Convention Centre (IICC), now known as ‘Yashobhoomi,’ is a cutting-edge facility located in Dwarka, New Delhi. Designed to become one of the world’s largest and most advanced Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) facilities, it showcases state-of-the-art architecture and design. Spanning over 10 lakh square meters in total project area, it includes a grand convention center, multiple exhibition halls, and premium amenities, making it a significant landmark in India’s infrastructure development.
DEPL Enterprise Pvt. Ltd. was entrusted with the exterior painting work for the project, covering an area of over 10 lakh square feet. Our role involved ensuring that the expansive concrete and facade surfaces achieved a visually appealing finish while maintaining structural integrity and resilience against the elements.
DEPL’s Approach and Contribution
Completing a project of this magnitude required strategic planning, a skilled workforce, and effective utilization of specialized equipment such as boom lifts. Given the complex nature of the project and the tight deadline of three months, our team worked around the clock to deliver high-quality results.Approach and Strategy
The project’s scale and timeline posed a significant challenge, requiring us to devise a comprehensive strategy that would enable us to complete the work efficiently while adhering to the highest quality standards.Resource Management and Equipment Utilization
To cover the large surface area within the stipulated timeframe, we employed a fleet of boom lifts. These machines allowed our teams to access hard-to-reach areas, ensuring complete and uniform coverage. With multiple teams working simultaneously at various heights and sections of the facade, coordination and safety were paramount.
Safety and Supervision
Worker safety was a top priority, especially given the extensive use of boom lifts and the height at which the work was being carried out. We implemented strict safety protocols, including regular safety briefings, mandatory use of protective gear, and continuous monitoring of boom lift operations. Our supervisors were present on-site day and night, ensuring compliance with safety standards and providing guidance to the workforce.
Skilled Workforce Deployment
Given the high-quality finish required for the exterior surfaces, we deployed a skilled team of painters experienced in working with large-scale architectural projects. Each worker was thoroughly trained on the application techniques needed for this project, and their work was closely monitored by an experienced project manager.
Continuous Operations
To meet the tight deadline, our team worked in shifts, covering day and night operations. This ensured that the project progressed at a steady pace without any interruptions. Effective scheduling and workforce management allowed us to optimize productivity and maintain consistent quality throughout the execution phase.
Product Application
The paint used for this project was Protec Guard Color from Guard Industry, chosen for its ability to provide durable protection while enhancing the aesthetic appeal of concrete surfaces. Its weather-resistant and UV-protection properties made it an ideal choice for the IICC’s exposed exterior surfaces.Surface Preparation: The surfaces were cleaned thoroughly using specialized equipment to remove dust, dirt, and any existing imperfections. In areas where wet cleaning was not feasible, the surfaces were sanded to ensure optimal adhesion of the paint.
Paint Application: Protec Guard Color was applied uniformly across all designated areas using a combination of spray and roller techniques. The paint’s formulation allowed for excellent coverage and a smooth finish, creating a visually stunning effect that accentuated the structure’s architectural elements.
Results and Benefits
The successful completion of the exterior painting work within the given timeframe stands as a testament to DEPL Enterprise Pvt. Ltd.’s ability to handle large-scale projects with precision and professionalism.Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal: The exterior paintwork has enhanced the visual impact of the IICC, giving it a modern and refined appearance that complements its architectural design.
Long-Term Protection: Protec Guard Color provides robust protection against environmental factors such as UV radiation, moisture, and pollution, ensuring that the structure retains its aesthetic appeal and structural integrity over time.
Efficient Project Execution: Despite the tight deadline, our team managed to complete the work with zero safety incidents and minimal disruption to the ongoing construction activities at the site.
Optimized Resource Utilization: The use of boom lifts and other specialized equipment allowed us to cover large areas efficiently, reducing overall project time while maintaining high-quality standards.
