ABSTRACT
A railway platform is a section of pathway, alongside rail tracks at a railway station, metro
station or tram stop, at which passengers may board or alight from trains or trams. Almost all
rail stations have some form of platform, with larger stations having multiple platforms. The
term "railway platform" can also mean any type of freight platform beside a rail siding for
loading/unloading freight to/from rail cars.
The most basic form of platform consists of an area at the same level as the track, usually
resulting in a fairly large height difference between the platform and the train floor. This
would often not be considered a true platform. The more traditional platform is elevated
relative to the track but often lower than the train floor, although ideally they should be at the
same level. Occasionally the platform is higher than the train floor, where a train with a low
floor serves a station built for trains with a high floor.

1.1 INTRODUCTION.
Internship report is one of the components of evaluation in Full semester internship
evaluation process. After the completion of the full semester internship, a student submits a
report on the internship carried out by him. This report is usually termed as Internship report.
The weightage given to this component of evaluation is 50%.
Writing a report is an art. It is a written presentation of the work, which tells about the
experience in the industry, tasks taken up, methods used in finding the solutions, final results,
conclusions and suggestions if any etc. It is not a document, which is meant only for the
author/student. It is a valuable record, which is often referred to by industry persons working
in that area. It is written to inform the reader and acquaint him with the hands on experience
gained, professional and life skills acquired, results arrived at and the conclusions reached. It
is therefore essential that the report is written and organized in such a manner that a reader
has no difficulty in understanding it.
All the students who are pursuing the internship must have already done a course in
report writing and comprehension. However, this report being specific in nature and content
wise, format and guidelines in writing FSI is provided after considering all aspects involved.
It is therefore all the students who are on FSI pattern are expected to submit the reports
complying with this.

INTRODUCTION
Corporate Social Responsibility is the continuing commitment by business to perform
ethically and contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life of the
workforce and their families as well as of the local community and society at large.
Essentially, Corporate Social Responsibility is the deliberate inclusion of Public Interest into
corporate decision making, by honouring of Triple Bottom Line i.e. People, Planet &Profit
(3PL).The emerging concept of CSR goes beyond charity and requires the company to act
beyond its legal obligations and to integrate social, environmental and ethical concerns into
the company's business process.
The Committee of Public Undertakings (COPU) for the first time in 1992, examined the
issue of the social obligations of Central Public Sector Enterprises and observed that being a
part of the State every PSE has a moral responsibility to play an active role in discharging
the social obligations endowed to it as a welfare state subject to the financial wealth of the
enterprise. Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) issued general guidelines on CSR in
November, 1994. Giving freedom to the Board of Directors of the CPSEs to devise social
responsible business practices under the general guidelines of their respective administrative
Ministry /Department
VISION
A vision statement is a declaration of an organization's objectives, ideally based on
economic foresight, intended to guide its internal decision-making. A vision statement is not
limited to business organizations and may also be used by non-profit or governmental
entities.
MISSION
A mission statement, a type of statement of purpose, is a statement which is used to
communicate the purpose of an organization. Although most of the time it will remain the
same for a long period of time, it is not uncommon for organizations to update their mission
statement this generally happens when an organization evolves. Mission statements are
normally short and simple statements which outline what the organization's purpose is and
are related to the specific sector an organization operates
It was in 1978, when Mr. G.M Rao started off with a small jute mill, and established,
over 28 years later, what is known today as the GMR Group. GMR is today a major player in
the Infrastructure Sector, with world class projects in India and abroad. The GMR group is
headquartered in Bangalore, and has been developing projects in high growth areas such as
Airports, Energy, Transportation and Urban Infrastructure.
GMR Group is one of the fastest growing infrastructure enterprises in the country
with a rich and diverse experience spanning three decades. With our vibrant portfolio of
projects, GMR is uniquely placed to build state of the art projects in sectors that are of critical
importance in the process of development. Using the Public Private Partnership model, the
Group has successfully leveraged its core strengths to implement several iconic infrastructure
projects in India.
Airports:
GMR Group operates Indias busiest airport, the Indira Gandhi International Airport
(IGIA) in New Delhi. The integrated terminal T3, the largest terminal in India and one of the
largest in the world was built by the Group. The Group has also developed and commissioned
the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA), a Greenfield International Airport at
Hyderabad which is a gateway to south and central India.
The Consortium comprising of GMR and Mega wide Constructions has signed an
concession agreement to begin the process for takeover of operations and development of
Mac tan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) by means of renovation of the existing Terminal
1 and simultaneous construction of a brand new Terminal 2, with the Department of
Transportation and Communication (DOTC). Under the agreement, the GMR Mega wide
Consortium will operate the airport for a period of 25 years.
In the Airports sector, the Company operates Indias busiest airport, the Indira Gandhi

In the site the following are the problems which are encountered
During excavation process some of the electrical cables are been found underground
5 metres below the surface and are found as obstruction for excavation
During the rainy days as the surface gets damped due to stagnation of water and it
became difficult for the equipment to undertake the process .
There is no proper way on to the other side of the existing track where extension if
being done to place the moulds for the platform.
There is a land acquisition problem at some location at the site where new track is
been laid.
There is a very lesser gap between the existing track and the newly laid track as there
are problems on excavation and shifing the rocks and material from the site as there
is movement of trains frequently.
CHAPTER-4
During excavation process for the platform some of the electrical cables are been
found underground 5 metres below the surface so care is being taken by providing
more number of workers and making them to dig carefully at that cables location.
As the surface got damped due to stagnation of water and it became difficult for the
equipment to undertake the process , so at that place a layer of broken bricks are laid
and then work is carried out.
As there is no proper way on to the other side of the existing track where extension if
being done to place the moulds for the platform an another new route is laid for the
travelling of trucks and equipment for carrying moulds.
In the land acquisition problem at the site a compound wall is constructed for
separating the area and also route is diverted .
As the tracks are very close to each other , a partition is made in order not to enter into
the existing track and also an offset distance of 2 metres is taken and excavated and
proper signals are given during the circulation of trains by the signal in charge.
4.2 PLANNING
Planning is a major criteria which is to be done for the proper execution and progress
of the task to be effectively accomplished.In the current project of laying new lines here we
encounter some of the activities in other words details of the works as
Stations
Level crossings
Permanent way-Rails ,sleepers and fastenings ( 60kg(90UTS) for new rails,PRC
monoblock (52kg)sleepers of density-1540 no per kilometer
Points and crossings-1 in 12 crossing of 60 kg ,1 in 8 crossing of 60 kg
Ruling gradient-1 in 100, 1 in 133 ( up and down)
Curves-10 curves-8.30 degree curvature,25 curves 6degree curvature,12 curves-2.5
degree curvature
Ballast -350mm main lines,250 mm loop lines
4.3 EXECUTION
(b) Mechanical compaction is normally done after each layer of earthwork withthe help of a
sheep foot roller to obtain 90% maximum dry density at anoptimum moisture content.
(c) A shrinkage allowance of 5% is made for the consolidation of the final crosssection in the
case of mechanical compaction. The shrinkage allowance is increased to 10% if no
mechanical compaction is involved.
(d) A blanket of a thickness of about 30 cm is provided at the top of theembankment where
the soil is not of good quality.
(e) In areas where there are both cuttings and embankments, the soil from thecuttings should
be used for the embankments up to an economical lead. Theeconomical limit of moving the
earth in the longitudinal direction isdetermined by the mass-haul curve.
(f) For the early execution of earthwork, the section is normally divided intoconvenient
zones, with each zone requiring earthwork costing Rs 1.5 to 3million approximately. Tenders
are separately invited for each zone .
Bridges
Bridges should be designed to bear the load of the heaviest locomotive likely to
pass the section. Depending upon the topography of the location and the type ofstream to be
crossed, hume pipe culverts, RCC slab bridges, plate girders, PRCgirder bridges, or steel
bridges are designed. Bridges, being important structures,are normally constructed to
accommodate a double line even in those sectionswhere only a single line is being set up so
that future expansions can be planned.
Platform Requirements
The platform length shall be uniform width as determined by the LOSestablished The length
shall accommodate the train (26 coaches as per theIndian Railways future plans for the
standard number of coaches/train) and two locomotivesat each end.
Platform Area
The platform area is where customers access trains. The platform area must facilitate
multiple customer circulation functions
Capacity
The capacity of platforms will assume in all instances the worst case scenario forthe alighting
and detraining of trains in a station. A center platform will assumetwo 100% capacity trains
detraining and evacuating from the platform at anygiven time.
A side platform assumes one 100% capacity train detraining and
evacuating from the platform at any given time.
Length
Platform length is typically determined by the length of the longest trainanticipated for the
station (e.g., a 24-coach train at 22.5m per coach with a 22mengine at each end will require at
least a 584 m platform) plus 4.5 m or asdirected by INDIAN RAILWAYS.
Width
Platform width is typically determined by
a) The width of any VCEs located within the length of the platform.
b) An architecturally preferred minimum 2.640 m clear distance to anyobstruction, such as a
VCE, from the platform edge. This distanceincludes the .609 m wide platform safety edge, a
1.725 m clear passagefor customers circulating along the platform length, and a .13 m buffer
zone along the length of the obstruction.
c) Station patronage and emergency exiting requirements.
d) Space requirements as determined by Level of Service requirements.
The total width of the platform is equal to the sum of these factors.
Minimum Clearances at Platform
a) The preferred minimum clearance from the platform edge to any fixedobstruction at any
point along the platform shall be 2.640 m.
b) Provide a .792 m deep clear area at track level beneath the platform edge.
c) In center platform stations, provide a .609 m wide clear area outside thedynamic envelope
of the train along the station wall opposite the platformedge. In side platform stations,
provide a .609 m wide clear area outsidethe dynamic envelope of the train between the two
tracks.
Platform Slope
The typical slope employed for drainage will be 1%. The maximum longitudinalslope (along
the length) of the platform is 0.5% (0.3% preferred) as dictated bythe track alignment. The
preferred maximum allowable cross-slope(perpendicular to its length) of the platform is
1.5%. The maximum allowablecross-slope is 2%.
Drainage of Station Platforms
The following points should be taken into account when planning the drainage
system of a platform.
4.7 MOULDS
Major part of the platform is platform moulds which act as a basic support
Figure:9Counter forts
Platform chainage LHS 12+960 to 13+260
5cm( 2 inch) concrete bed is provided on the retaining walls(mould sections) of the
platform at turnings at transition curves.(from starting to ending of curves)
Moulds of M 30 grade
6mm steel with concrete
Water cement ratio should be 0.43
Shrinkage of ordinary concrete -0.3 to 0.6mm
At curves 50mm thickness bed is laid on mould and normally 100mm is laid for
