Redevelopment of space under urban flyover - Manish Jain - 09-21-2020

With increase in city traffic there is need to create a flyover for smooth movement of vehicle in growing city. This addition of flyover leads to left over space, these spaces are either abandoned or underutilized with parking for vehicles and at times act as a dump yard.
There are various interventions possible for the development of such spaces but considering the context of the place at present, a minimum intervention would however have a major impact. Ideas of illumination and ornamental plantation recently adopted by many countries which makes the spaces look vibrant and interactive.
• These spaces have a great potential to develop as an active public spaces parks or gardens, children's play zone, open library, etc.
• Located in the heart of the city thriving commercial activity zone on the both sides, the space can act as spill over for the active public.
• The retrofication and refurbishment of such spaces will contribute to the image of city.

• Theme based graffiti at certain spaces on social measure is way of creating awareness amongst the people.
• Dense ornamental plantations will hereby contribute to the ecology and environment and acts as a buffer to reduce air pollution as well contribute to the aesthetics of the street in the day time.
• Illumination at night will completely transform the appearance of the street at night

The space could be designed to give sense of ownership of it to the community.

it could be designed to reunify areas of the city that have been severed by urban renewal. Regenerating the space under the overpass & beautifying the area allows it to reconnect with the urban fabric.
Undeveloped spaces below flyover potential to be transformed into major corridors, gathering areas or recreational spaces that integrate the elevated highway and their surrounding environment, Generally, they shape the ground level where they are constructed.

Dear Sir

I am an Electrical Design Engineer.

Provide Parking Space with EV Charging Station Under Urban Flyover considering future requirement.

According to me Developing EV Charging Station at Petrol Pump is not as useful as we think. No one now a days spend 10 or 20 Min at Patrol Pump for EV Charging.

Thanks & Regards
Amit Patel

Interior Fit-Out Site Checklist (From Practical Site Experience)

Hello everyone,
I would like to share a simple site checklist for Interior Fit-Out projects based on my practical experience in execution and coordination. This may help young professionals and also avoid common site mistakes.

1. Drawings vs Site Verification
Before starting any work, always cross-check drawings with actual site dimensions. Small mismatches can lead to major rework later.

2. Material Approval
Ensure all materials (plywood, laminates, finishes, fixtures) are approved before execution. This avoids delays and confusion on site.

3. Coordination of Services
Proper coordination between electrical, HVAC, and ceiling works is very important. Many issues happen due to service clashes.

4. Level & Alignment Checks
False ceiling levels, flooring levels, and wall alignments must be checked regularly to maintain finishing quality.

5. Vendor & Labour Coordination
Timely communication with vendors and labour teams helps maintain progress and avoid delays.

6. Quality & Finishing Control
Regular inspection during execution ensures better finishing and reduces last-minute corrections.

7. Protection of Finished Work (most important)
Ensure all completed elements are properly protected to avoid damage during ongoing work. For example, covering stair treads and risers with bubble sheets is good, but exposed edges remain vulnerable. It is advisable to use corner protection (e.g., cardboard or PVC corner guards of suitable size) along stair edges and other finished surfaces. This helps prevent chipping or damage from falling tools, materials, or site movement.

From my experience, most interior project delays happen due to lack of coordination and improper planning rather than technical issues.
I’m currently based in Jaipur and interested in contributing to Interior Fit-Out and PMC-related works. Happy to connect and learn from fellow professionals here.
Thank you.
