Kawasaki motors sought its first manufacturing plant in India at Chakan, Pune. They approached KSH INFRA with a requirement of 250,000 square feet for manufacturing, assembly, and warehousing for its R&D division.
CHALLENGES
The initial requirement was for a 125,000 sq. ft. space, but Kawasaki also wanted two independent office blocks, one each for manufacturing and R&D.
- KSH INFRA wanted two independent facilities totalling two 125,000 sq. ft. facilities. They were separated by a 15-metre internal road.
- They required a 500 KVA sub-station to meet their energy requirements and DG backup for their manufacturing division.
- They needed a canteen block, toilet blocks, production offices, QC labs, and R&D engine testing labs.
SOLUTION
KSH INFRA integrated the two 125,000 sq. ft. facilities into one 250,000 sq. ft. facility with internal partitions separating the manufacturing, assembly, storage, and R&D divisions.
- KSH INFRA consultants obtained all the required permissions from MIDC for the operation.
- 6000 sq. ft. was allocated to the manufacturing division. The ground floor was used as a showroom area.
- The above-mentioned area was equipped with workstations, cabins, toilet blocks and conference rooms.
- Another 6000 square feet was converted into a corporate office for the R&D division.
- Temperature-controlled HVAC systems were installed in the production office, QC labs, and R&D facilities.
- 200 lux lighting was fitted within the warehouse in the manufacturing and assembly areas.
- 800 lux lighting was fitted in the QC labs.
The outcome
- Kawasaki Motors received a self-sustaining manufacturing, assembly, and R&D unit ready to begin operations in the shortest amount of time.
