Key Challenges
Drywall being a new concept in India for Residential, we encountered below challenges during execution.
Possibility of Rain water leakage through shafts causing damage to boards.
Vertical loading of materials considering the height of the tower
Probable Drywall damage while polishing the flooring or by other agencies while executing their work.
Possibility of Fungus formation on gypsum boards due to rain water dripping on boards.
As site is in close proximity of sea. this has caused rusting of GSM-120 metal sections which was then converted to AZ-150.
On time completion was a challenge for the project which was achieved through proper planning of resources – labour & material, as well as usage of drywall tools for improved productivity.
We have succeeded in dealing with the challenges by creating awareness about the product & systems by onsite trainings, demonstrations, explanations on system performance & impacts, site meetings etc
