Agreeable proposition
It is not only for the professional to be competent but all trade involved should be properly trained. Just a minor example is requirement of concrete spacers around the elements. No proper attention is given by most of the engineers & workers.
Similarly, curing is not given proper attention as well & ther are many other example
It is also to be thought how to improve the inspection standards & related staff trained for that

Dear Colleagues:

这是令人震惊的听到TV last night that part of a building of
Times of India under construction in Ahmedabad collapsed, possibly
killing many workers. It is not only tragic for the families of the dead
and injured but is also a sober reminder to all of us that all is not
well with our construction industry.

Only last year, a part of another commercial building under construction
in a prominent area of Ahmedabad had collapsed.

Both the above buildings must have been designed by "structural
engineers", constructed by "contractors" and supervised by the
"construction engineers". Hence, the responsibility lies with the
professionals associated with the construction industry.

Incidents like these should make us resolve to work harder for the
upliftment of our profession and following action points come to mind:

a) We resolve to do the best professional job regardless of how much is
the fees. There are no excuses allowed to a surgeon for doing an unsafe
surgery just because he agreed to a lower fees from a patient.

b) We stop complaining about other stackholders to express our
disappointments and frustrations. We must focus on what WE can do rather
than what others should do.

c) We refuse to undertake assignments for which we are not competent.

d) We help other professional colleauges and youngsters including
students in learning to be good professionals.

e) We assign a fraction of our time and income for our own professional
growth and the improvement of the profession generally.

This is my emotional outburst and is not meant to be a sermon to
colleagues on SEFI, since I feel rather disturbed with the incident. I
know that most of us must feel quite agitated with such incidents.

Best regards,

Sudhir Jain

Dear Engineers

Emotional conduct & thinking is not good for the professionals

Best attempt shall be to be clear of what one should do in profession

Engineers have to chart out how to make the involved parties work together to achieve the engineering products, the end user waits for

Unfortunately, over profit making target by the promoter is root of every problem & chalta hae approach has to be amended in all respects

Engineers have to think in affirmative terms of enforcement of requirements for which more practical input is necessary, more time devotion is demanded on the project.

Design & construction engineers shall have to coordinate all times

Architects shall have to amend their gross conduct which is really too difficult to achieve.

Designers should also realise the site practical problems & adopt experience based approach & not fully theoretical at every consideration
