Ever since Professor Gajavelli V. S. has returned from Indonesia to IMT Nagpur, he has been talking about the ‘brave new world’ that is Indonesia, and the plethora of opportunities it offers. As the former Chairperson – International Relations: Global Alliances, Student& Faculty Exchange Programmes and Joint Research, IMT Nagpur,Professor Gajavelli was a part of a team that visited University Diponegoro (UNDIP), jual besi beton semarang-Indonesia to teach the students of the Doctoral and Masters programmes in Economics and Finance.

“UNDIP, despite being a government institution, operates like a private institution. It believes that foreign faculty always bring in new techniques, new methods, and more importantly, a new perspective to education. This teaching assignment was a part of our continuing collaboration with UNDIP. We started our collaboration last November, when three of their faculty members came down to IMT Nagpur for joint research with IMT faculty.”

Professor Gajavelli seems deeply impressed by Indonesian hospitality and courtesy.

“Amazingly, they are extremely happy people. I’ve been to USA, Australia, Africa, almost the whole of Europe, and yet I’ve never seen such happy faces as in Indonesia. Anywhere you go – whether you catch a train, go to a mall or board a bus – there is no stress in their social interactions.”

Dr. Gajavelli singles out the academic rigour of the students of University Diponegoro for praise. In fact, he is quite excited about the next phase of this collaboration, which is the student exchange programme. He would like students of IMT Nagpur to experience what he did.

“What we know of Indonesia is only from the TV, and what’s fed to us in the newspapers. I was absolutely thrilled to see the depth of their systems and processes. The academic process is highly technology-driven, classroom processes are top-notch and students are made to work. Even at the undergrad level, you find students flocking to the library, sitting on the carpet reading journals in the areas of Economics, Finance, Accounting, etc. The kinds of textbooks being referred to by undergrads in Indonesia are of the level of post-graduates in India. In the classrooms too, I found the students extremely serious and highly participative.”

Professor Gajavelli feels that given that the essentials are in place – the high level of sophistication, low economic disparity and a highly qualified society – Indonesia is all set to burst forth as an economic power. He sees immense potential for IMT Nagpur in this collaboration, especially in the Executive Management space.

“Management as a subject is not very prominent in University Diponegoro. In fact, we are looking forward to an Executive Management programme that we could conduct for them in Semarang.”

Professor Gajavelli feels that of the 32 global linkages that IMT Nagpur has, its collaboration with UNDIP – which has a respectable global ranking (26th best university globally), with an impressive performance and focus on academics and research – is going to have far-reaching consequences.

Coring or Core Drilling is a technique used in the modern construction as an option for cutting precise holes in the construction. When core drilling is carried out by a diamond drill bit it is called diamond drilling. Widely regarded as the gold-standard method for drilling holes, diamond coring/drilling is used in industrial sectors. The diamond drill bit allows one to drill through any material, both quickly and efficiently and also has a number of other significant advantages over conventional drilling.

The use of diamond in the drill bit makes cutting more accurate and delivers a higher standard of the end-result. The increased accuracy implies that there is a reduced risk of inadvertent structural damage. There is also a bonus of notably less amount of debris that in turn helps save time, effort and disposal costs. Another reason why diamond drilling is getting adapted more frequently is that diamond drilling can even be conducted in harsh jobsite conditions such as confined spaces and even underwater. And, with a remote control operability, it is highly convenient.

Diamond coring has found its way to may coring and drilling applications. Let’s take a look at some of the applications where we can use diamond coring effectively.

Various Applications of Diamond Coring

To make openings for ducts, pipes, and cables

Ducts, pipes, and cables are essential for instilling functionality to a structure. One needs to drill ducts and piping system for various HVAC, air filters, and plumbing. Cabling system, jual besi cnp semarang on the other hand, is instrumental in electrical system and connectivity in a building. Manual operation, e.g., digging horizontally may not be sufficient. Diamond coring, therefore, will expertly create a hole without any damage to the structure.

To make openings for structural anchors

Anchor fasteners as discussed in an earlier post provide foundational strength to any temporary and permanent structure. Previously, anchor fasteners were installed by pouring concrete mixture on the bolts that would then affix themselves to the base and serve as the anchor. Even though this practice is still quite common for new structures, but diamond drilling is apt when a building is already in place. Diamond coring helps to drill a hole in the base material, place the bolts, and then seal it by pouring the concrete.

To facilitate anchor installations

Anchor installations can be tricky as the choice of the anchor inserts for structure connection, whether mechanical or chemical, depends on the load. When the load is too big, the ideal choice is to drill or core the material using diamond drilling instead of doing it manually. In such a case coring helps you achieve a precise result without causing any damage to the inherent structure.

For the creation of manholes

Initially, manholes were created by a single person digging and hammering the concrete from one point to another. This process often took weeks, even months depending on the length and diameter specified. These days the entire process of digging a manhole has been reduced to half, thanks to coring. A coring machine helps to achieve an accurate and smooth finish instead of the manual process that is cumbersome, time taking and inaccurate.

To help manage rebar fixing

Rebarring, also known as reinforcing bar, is used to strengthen the hold of the concrete to the tension. A strong foundation is imperative for an excellent rebar system. During the renovation process, it is important to redo and fix the rebar as per the new design. Since it is hidden under layers of concrete, the hole needs to be core at the exact place to reveal the rebar system. In such a case, diamond coring is extremely important.

Diamond coring facilitates new age drilling of holes with utmost accuracy and efficiency. Contrary to the popular belief, diamond coring has several other uses besides creating service entries.
