Project Description
The Ffort Raichak is a resort located in a heritage building with over 200 years of history that sits on the shores of the Hooghly River on the outskirts of Kolkata, India.
The project is expanded on a land of 12 acres with a built-up area of approximately 1,00,000 sq. ft.
The project was launched in 1993 and completed by 1997.
Architect
This project was designed by Shri Prabir Mitra – a renowned Indian architect who passed away on January 5, 2025, at the age of 83. He trained in architecture in England and Europe in the 1960s, with a specialization in architecture and structure engineering from the Marcel Brewer BAUHAUS School in Germany. His notable works include the Ffort Raichak, which earned him the JK Cements Architect of the Year award in 1998. He also received a Lifetime Achievement Award Gold Medal from the Indian Institute of Architects.
Project Requirement
Since the project was initially operated by Raddison and later acquired by The Taj in 2022, Ambuja Neotia became responsible for the renovation of the hotel.
As the plumbing system was around fifteen years old, Taj decided to renovate as in the modern style and with specialized pipes, which in turn increased the comfort of guests.
After being thoroughly discussed with the consultant, the client required a pipe system which reduces the maintenance frequency as well as reduces the unnecessary sounds produced in the plumbing system.

Project Description
Nanded City is a township located in the southwest of Pune, India. Construction began in 2010 and continues to develop itself with newer housing societies. Sargam at Nanded City is a residential project developed by Nanded City Development and Construction at Nanded in Pune. The project consists of 2, 2.5, and 3 BHK apartments with 7 buildings of 31 floors each. It has 1736 units.
Consultant
Aquamate Consultants Private Limited, incorporated on 26 October 2015, is a well-known MEP consultant firm from Pune that works on high-end residential and commercial projects. Mr. Anand Vijay Chiplunkar and Mr. Ketan Vijaykumar Dantale serve as directors at the firm and have established Aquamate as a go-to firm for specialty design services.
Project Requirement
Plumbing regulations call for the water trap seal on sanitary fixtures to always be maintained. This is typically accomplished by introducing atmospheric air into the plumbing drainage system via a separate smaller vent pipe going through the roof. But there are limitations to venting with pipes in the conventional way which was a concern for the builder and the consultant for the 31-storey project.
The Builder was concerned about the loss of the Water Seal which leads to bad odour, unpleasant noise, and repeat maintenance. The sheer height of a building changes the physical forces applied to plumbing systems, rendering conventional designs unsuitable for high-rise projects. The developer and consultant were looking for a solution that can help replace the conventional system, a cost-effective and smart plumbing solution.

Project Description
Referred to as the Terminal in a Garden, T2 is a tribute to the Garden City of Bengaluru. BIAL said that the terminal is meant to be a “walk in the garden”, with passengers travelling through 10,000+ square metres of green walls, hanging gardens, and outdoor gardens built through indigenous technology. Located on the north-eastern side of Terminal-1, T2 spans 255,661 square meters of area and is equipped to handle 25 million passengers annually.
Design and Construction Team
Terminal 2 is to be developed in 2 phases to handle 25 million passengers per annum in Phase 1 and 45 million passengers per annum in Phase 2. It’s been designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) architects and its civil construction contract was awarded to Larsen & Toubro with a value of approximately Rs. 3000 crore.
Project Requirement
The project was founded on four pillars: technological leadership, the idea of a terminal in a garden, environmental and ecological stewardship, and a celebration of Karnataka’s rich heritage and culture. A big draw of Terminal-2 will be its ‘hanging garden’.
The facility was spread across G+3 three floors. Though the height of the entire structure was 12.6 meters above the ground level, the pipe routing was complex with long horizontal and vertical lines. Bearing in mind not to spoil the elevation of the building, all the vertical shafts were mandated to be closed and could not protrude through the roof.
