Project Description:

Project Description: Nord Engineers provided structural consultancy for the Narhari Zirwal Ayurvedic College in Nashik. This educational institution is a B+G+4 building featuring differential basement levels, designed to adapt to the varying site topography. The construction site presented a challenging environment with a very hard rock foundation, necessitating specialized engineering solutions to ensure stability and durability.

Role Structural Consultant
Structure B+G+4 (Basement + Ground + 4 floors)
Foundation Very hard rock foundation
Built-up Area 82,000 Sq. ft
Project Cost 20.5 CR

Key Features:

Differential Basement Levels: The design accommodates multiple basement levels at different heights, optimizing space utilization and providing functional areas such as parking, storage, and utility rooms
Hard Rock Foundation: The building is constructed on a very hard rock foundation, which required careful planning and execution. This foundation type offers excellent stability and load-bearing capacity, essential for the multi-storied structure.
Structural Integrity: Given the complexity of the site conditions and the building’s design, Nord Engineers implemented advanced structural techniques and materials to ensure the integrity and longevity of the building.
Built-up Area: Spanning a total built-up area of 82,000 sq ft, the college provides ample space for academic and administrative functions, including classrooms, laboratories, offices, and common areas.
Project Cost: The total cost of the project was 20.5 CR, reflecting the extensive structural work and high-quality construction materials used to meet the project requirements.

Challenge

Accommodating Differential Basement Levels Designing and constructing multiple basement levels at varying heights required precise planning to ensure functional spaces for parking, storage, and utilities without compromising the building’s stability.

Solution

Advanced design techniques were employed to optimize space utilization across the differential basement levels. Careful structural detailing ensured proper load distribution and seamless integration with the upper structure, providing a robust and efficient layout.
