Designation: Engineer Updated: May 29, 2025 Location: Himachal Pradesh, India Organization: Cement Job Description: Job Purpose To supervise mining operations and assist in staffing, to achieve of targeted production and desired quality as per plant requirement. Coordinate with contractors for deployment of their machinery to achieve production. Ensure safety of man & machinery and develop the mine as per mining plan. Job Context & Major Challenges Job Context: UltraTech Cement Ltd. is the largest manufacturer of grey cement, Ready Mix Concrete (RMC) and white cement in India. The company has consolidated capacity of 138.39 Million Tons Per Annum (MTPA)* of grey cement. UltraTech Cement has 23 integrated plants, 1 clinkerisation plant, 29 grinding units and 8 bulk terminals. Baga Cement Works was acquired by UltraTech Cement Limited from erstwhile M/S Jaiprakash Associated Limited in the year 2017. Baga Cement Works is located at around 155 Km from Chandigarh, 67 km from Shimla and 37 km from Bilaspur (HP). The nearest National Highway is NH-88 which is 17 Km from the plant. The plant has 10,000 TPD clinker production capacity & 250/300 TPH OPC/PPC cement grinding capacity. The preheater consists of four strings, each with 6 stages of LP cyclones, with two pyroclones supplied by M/s KHD. This is a unique feature of this cement plant due to which the plant operates at lower heat and electrical energy. The preheater has a height of 155 mtrs, with top floor at 135 mtrs. The preheater has been constructed out of tubular steel structure. The Cement Plant is based on lime stone deposits in Baga – Bhalag hills which are adjacent to plant area. Limestone requirement of the plant is around 15000 TPD. For raw material grinding, two vertical roller mills of 420 TPH each have been installed with a C.F. Silo having a capacity of 24,000 MT. The unit is equipped with state-of-the-art pollution control systems, and operating emission norms are much lower than the permissible standards of 30 mg/Nm3. Three continuous ambient air quality monitoring stations have been installed which are hooked up to CPCB and PCB and transmit real time data's. The township for the plant is located near the plant and has a residential complex for 300 families. 10+2 school and 30 bed hospital has been built. For transporting clinker and cement from plant a fleet of about 4000 trucks have been engaged. Major Challenges: ?Statutory compliance: Challenge of complying Safety & Environmental requirements amidst recent/frequent changes in regulatory/statutory norms. ?Quality Management:Ensure desired quality & quantity of Laterite despite challenge of balancing multiple critical parameters i.e. SIO2, Al2O3 & Fe2O3 by planning & ensuring implementation of judicious blending with limestone & shale. Deploy machinery as per production plans. Contractor fleet management: Ensure compliance related to statutory & safety standard requirement despite competitive rates. location at foot hill of Himalayan Mountain range (Extremely difficult terrain and environmentally sensitive). The largest Cement Plant at such a high altitude in India. The elevation difference in ML area from top (1425mRL) to bottom (825mRL) is 600m in Limestone block (Bhalag) with strike length of 1700m and width of 1100m Major Challenges during operation:- Most of the machineries are in use since last 11+ Years and clocked more than 25000 running hours. Due to resource constraints in past most of the machineries were not maintained as per OEM standards results in less availability and impact on production. All old HEMM are due for overhauling and reconditioning. Integration of UltraTech standards in terms of new system like SAP, WCM, ISO & Safety system and managing the change process. Cultural transformation of the existing manpower. Geographical and climatic conditions at the plant location. Cold (subzero) climate in winter season and heavy rainfall with an average of 1700mm. Land and possession related disputes regarding ML area falling in different villages, PWD road passing through the ML area and habitation at foothills is proving to be the bottleneck for scientific development and expansion of mines.
