- Noise and dust control measures during construction.
- EV charging infrastructure for 20% of parking area
Safety & Fire Protection Systems
One of the region’s safest industrial buildings, the facility is equipped with best-in-class fire protection and safety infrastructure:
- 2-hour fire-rated AAC block concrete walls.
- FM2 flooring with anti-dust treatment.
- ESFR K-360 sprinklers (roof level, 74°C temp rating, 12-nozzle activation at 3.5 bar).
- QR K-160 sprinklers for stacker area and canopy.
- Ridge sprinklers (100°C rating) and heat plate systems
under skylights. - Combined internal & external hydrant system with yard ring main.
- 2,500 GPM fire pumps @ 9.2 bar (diesel engine + backup).
- Fire water storage: 1.6 million litres.
- Fire and burglar alarm systems.
- BOI-compliant and AXA-compliant fire system.
Client-Specific Customization & Technical Research
Decathlon provided a comprehensive construction and design guideline manual based on their global standards. To align precisely with these expectations:
- We conducted multiple coordination meetings with Decathlon’s India and France teams.
- Design solutions were tailored for brand consistency and technical accuracy.
- Execution planning was informed by deep understanding of their unique operational needs.
Challenges Faced
COVID-19 Second Wave
- 45-day lockdown restricted site activity
and labour movement - Limited contractor mobilization: in-situ worker housing enabled continuity at reduced speed
Material Supply Crisis
- Steel shortage delayed PEB structural works
- Post-lockdown cost escalations pressured project budgets
Despite these, Conservve Buildcon chose to absorb cost fluctuations to stay committed to client timelines.
Execution Strategy & Project Management
Planning & Coordination:
Project charter developed to define scope, timelines, and deliverables.
Integrated project schedule with package-wise tracking.
Regular weekly client/vendor reviews, documented with MoMs.
Kick-off meetings to align contractors on quality, safety, and approvals.
Proactive design validation to prevent compliance rework.
Evaluation and Results
Despite the hurdles, the project reached practical completion in November 2021, recording only a 15-day effective delay, an impressive outcome in fast-track industrial project execution, especially when compared to industry norms during the pandemic.
Project Outcomes
Zero Rework
on compliance due to early-stage design validation.
Client Satisfaction
Positive feedback on execution transparency and responsiveness.
Sustainability
Systems in place for energy, water, and waste efficiency.
Safety
One of the region’s most advanced fire-safe industrial facilities.
Operational Efficiency Gains
with optimized energy use. Natural lighting and smart automation significantly reduced lighting loads and overall energy consumption.
What We Delivered
