2010-15 Continued
Exactly after Two years, when i left teaching and went to Alexandria, an offer came from Arkitechno Consultant as Project Manager, and i joined on 31 May 2013. Somebody had suggested that after 50 plus professional work, i should do some social work. This was an opportunity and Melinda & Bill Gates foundation was partially funding through J-PAL-Jameel Poverty Action Lab South Asiaat Institute of Financial Management an Research(IFMR) Chennai.
Quicksand Design Studio was retained by JPAL to design and execute the Project Sammaan, with a MoU signed with Bhubaneswar and Cuttack Municipalities. Their local rep was Feedback foundation for 11 months, from whom i took over. The work was of interaction with several partners of Quicksand namely Anagram the designers and CDD for advance septic tanks and submitting the same to BMC and CMC for tendering. Later i was asked to review the drawings, conduct survey redesign the structures. This arrangement ended on 31 Jan 2014.From 1 Feb 14, i am again engaged by Quicksand as Project Technical Lead.
This is a quiet novel experience of dealing everything by internet- almost daily communication weekly tele conference, getting drawings by mail, printing and submitting to BMC/CMC.I had two engineers to assist and a monthly visit from Quicksand people and meeting with all levels of the state government.
Except when i was with State Govt and Govt of India, i had no direct contact with government while in Public or Private sector jobs, and this is the smallest Project i had handled which is around 23 crores.The work consists of construction of 27 Public Toilets and 90 Community Toilets, with modern design- about 10 typologies and advance type of septic tanks known as Advance Settlers, DEWATS etc, This is nothing compared to the modern sewerage treatment plant i had constructed for large Petrochemical plants and Oil refineries. This has a basic difference of not using motors or any moving equipment,
