  1. How important is controlled bolting for successful infrastructure projects? During the predicted period, India's economy is expected to rise at a Rate of around 7%. About INR 102 lakh crore would be invested in infrastructure projects between 2024-25. There will be an INR 1,950,397-crore investment in the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) in FY21 as it enters its second year. With ample infrastructure projects on the pipeline, ensuring a seamless functioning of them is also important. With heavy load transport plying on the major infrastructure projects in India, ensuring their torque at the right level is imperative. Here comes the importance of the controlled bolting to keep the torque within required range.

  2. The significance of the fastened connection plays a large role in determining the value of a bolted joint in several infrastructure projects. When it comes to maintaining joint integrity, controlled bolting is crucial, and the accuracy of the bolt loads is of utmost importance. This type of fastener tightening allows for the controlled and secure tightening & loosening of bolts. In order to ensure the joint's stability or protect it from being compromised during disassembly, controlled bolting is employed. It is crucial to use controlled bolting while constructing any sort of infrastructure.

  3. Rise of Controlled Bolting for Infrastructure Projects – Define controlled bolting Bolted joints are critical in industries such as oil and gas hydraulic systems and pipe flanges for leak-free connections; in automotive/machinery for vibration protection. The Fit-it-Forget-approach is typical when it comes to actual infrastructural links like bridges & towers. An important component in determining a joint's reliability is the precision of its bolt load. We need to grasp the idea of Controlled Bolting Mechanism, which is a scientific way of bolting, in order to control the impact of the external elements such as vibrations & temperature on bolt load. In order for all these to succeed and serve as a primary development driver, there are just few crucial factors to consider.:

  4. Government initiatives - Boosting railway infrastructure and Expanding roadways network and other project: Government is heavily investing in infrastructure. It has the potential to upgrade the overall GDP of the country and pave the way to becoming a superpower with formidable infrastructure. Few of the other aspects are that it will produce jobs, raise wages, and stimulate demand from consumers. Investment in infrastructure boosts ancillary industries like cement, metal, diesel, and much more, which in turn helps the economy expand at a slightly faster clip. Investments in roads, trains, commercial aviation, are needed to keep up with India's growing population and economic expansion.

  5. Investing in India's road transportation infrastructure is essential - Controlled Bolting for Infrastructure • Highways - The Management of Tension Bolts have been used in the construction of a broad range of highways, with roads becoming the primary structure. However, TCBs also are broadly used in gantries, signage, & piling. • Flyovers - As a result of the high levels of vibration that bridges experience, many of the bolted connections have preloaded bolts installed in compliance with the Specification for Bridge Works.

  6. Railways - Modern battery torque wrenches are the pinnacle of controlled bolting; they are lightweight, have a high power-to-weight relation, & contain documentation features that enable the department of quality control to easily download bolting data. The modern pumps used in hydraulic torque wrenches provide a data recording function that displays the torquing state of each individual bolt, a significant technological development. These are essential in constructing railroads. • Aviation - Indian regulatory reforms are aimed at attracting greater international investments in the sector, particularly through new alternative investments & innovative financial products. Following is a representation of the capacity & demand for various facets of transportation infrastructure.

  7. Growing Private Sector Players – L&T , JKUMAR, GVK, KCC, NCC, APCO, Adani, Reliance With each passing day, India's progress in building out its infrastructure reaches new heights. The infrastructure businesses in India have proven their ability to adapt to new situations and seize new possibilities, two skills essential to achieving significant success. For infrastructure, the administration is enlisting the help of private companies. Among these are research and analysis, financial results from the most recent fiscal year, order book statuses, overall market perception, crucial ongoing projects, and so on. Construction Week then compiled this list of India's top industry players. There are many players who are growing in the market.

  8. To this day, Larsen & Toubro (L&T) is regarded as India's prominent provider of infrastructure services. As a result, L&T has maintained a steady expansion across all of the infrastructure markets in which it participates, further adding to its stellar reputation. Relying heavily on the philosophy of maintaining the integrity of the steel structures; L&T Infra uses controlled bolting techniques like bolt tightening or bolting service through torqueing (using a torque wrench) & tensioning (using bolt tensioners) Business interests include engineering and construction, concrete, power, interstates, real estate, including hospitality, JKUMAR and Adani has grown into a significant infrastructure company. Today, GVK is one of the most rapidly expanding infrastructure businesses in India. Constructing, electrical power, construction and engineering (EPC), infrastructure, real estate development, & renewable energy are only few of the complementary fields in which it operates.

  9. In 1996, the National Coal Council (NCC) was founded as a division of property, and in the years that followed, other divisions were added for transportation (roads, highways, & bridges), water, electricity, power, irrigation, metal, & oil and gas. Today, NCC stands tall among India's most innovative infrastructure firms. KCC was one of the pioneers in the field of BOT or BOOT projects. The corporation has stated that it plans to devote more resources to the transportation and electricity industries in the future. Reliance has been planning over a few years about global expansion through infrastructure investments in transportation, water, and construction.

  10. Major infrastructure projects They are constructing several bridges, metro systems, and other public works of construction. Their major projects also include some of the most notable bridge, highway, & metro construction projects currently underway in India. The torque value at which a certain bolt load is created is specified by the bolt manufacturer. This is done considering the time it will take from when the bolts are made to when they are installed, as well as the possibility that the lubricant would degrade in storage. The Many Benefits of Using controlled Bolting Advantages of managed bolting techniques are given in conjunction with experts on hydraulic torque wrench.

  11. Effort savings When doing controlled bolting, no heavy lifting or other strenuous manual labor is necessary due to the fully automated nature of the system. Thus, weariness, which reduces efficiency, will be avoided. The manual labor not only is more taxing on the workers, but it also takes far longer to complete the task when done by a human. • Safety There is also an increased sense of security. Any potential dangers associated with manual, uncontrolled tightening can be eliminated thanks to the controlled bolting tools needed here. This happens because the operation of the machinery calls for specialized knowledge and the observance of rigorous protocols.

  12. Consistency When working with gasketed joints, uniformity is of the utmost importance. This is because the gasket can only function properly and without harm if the compression is uniform throughout. Conclusion Controlled bolting provides the operator with the necessary tool configuration to facilitate simpler use, and can also yield accurate estimations. Controlled bolting is more reliable, saves time, and reduces risk, but only if done by someone who has had proper training. Content Sources :- ABSGroup
