Case Studies - PragatiWeb Project Monitoring Platform

Thermal Power Project Monitoring

Client Overview

Sector

Thermal Power Generation

Capacity

1320 MW / 2 × 660 MW

Location

Korba, Chhattisgarh

Project Type

Thermal Power Project

Executive Summary

Large thermal power projects involve thousands of engineering deliverables, procurement packages, site activities, contractors, compliances, risks and management decisions.

Prior to PragatiWeb implementation, project progress reporting depended heavily on spreadsheets, emails and manual status compilation. This resulted in delayed reporting, limited visibility of critical issues and difficulty in tracking project performance across departments.

PragatiWeb was implemented as a centralized real-time project monitoring platform to provide management with accurate and timely information for effective project control and decision-making.

Business Challenges

Engineering Challenges

Tracking hundreds of engineering drawings and technical deliverables.
Delays in drawing reviews, approvals and interdisciplinary coordination.
Limited visibility of pending engineering deliverables.
Difficulty monitoring engineering progress across disciplines.

Procurement Challenges

Monitoring long-lead equipment and vendor milestones.
Tracking purchase order progress and delivery commitments.
Expediting vendor deliverables, inspection and dispatch status.
Difficulty identifying procurement bottlenecks early.

Construction Challenges

Multiple contractors working simultaneously across packages.
Tracking civil, mechanical, electrical and C&I activities.
Delayed identification of site issues and constraints.
Lack of centralized site progress reporting.

Management Challenges

Manual monthly reporting and delayed project visibility.
Inconsistent status information from different departments.
Delayed escalation of critical issues.
Difficulty identifying project bottlenecks and recovery actions.

PragatiWeb Solution

PragatiWeb was deployed as a centralized project monitoring platform integrating all major project functions into one real-time dashboard.

Integrated Project Master Schedule

Milestone tracking, delay monitoring, schedule variance analysis and critical path visibility.

Engineering Progress Monitoring

Drawing register, submission tracking, approvals and discipline-wise engineering dashboards.

Procurement Monitoring

Purchase orders, vendor milestones, inspections, dispatches and material delivery tracking.

Construction Progress Monitoring

Daily Progress Reports, package-wise progress, contractor updates and site progress visibility.

Compliance Monitoring

Statutory, environmental, contractual and internal compliance monitoring with ownership.

Issue & Risk Tracking

Issue assignment, escalation, closure tracking, risk identification and mitigation monitoring.

Implementation Architecture

PragatiWeb was configured with a project hierarchy covering Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Compliance, Issues and Risks.

Engineering: Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, C&I and interdisciplinary deliverables.
Procurement: Boiler, Turbine, Generator, BOP packages and balance equipment.
Construction: Civil works, mechanical erection, electrical works and commissioning.
Compliance: Statutory, environmental, contractual and internal requirements.
Issues: Department-wise issue logging, assignment and closure monitoring.
Risks: Risk identification, impact assessment and mitigation action tracking.

Key Benefits Achieved

Improved Visibility

Management gained real-time project visibility without waiting for manual reports.

Faster Decisions

Critical issues were identified and escalated quickly for timely resolution.

Better Accountability

Responsibility assignment and action tracking improved ownership across teams.

Schedule Control

Milestone tracking enabled proactive delay monitoring and recovery planning.

Compliance Control

Project compliances were monitored through a centralized dashboard.

Reduced Reporting Effort

Automated dashboards reduced manual report preparation and compilation time.

Sample KPIs Monitored

Area	KPIs Tracked
Engineering	Drawings submitted, drawings approved, under-review drawings, approval cycle time.
Procurement	Purchase orders released, vendor milestones, equipment manufacturing, inspection and dispatch.
Construction	Planned progress, actual progress, schedule variance and package-wise completion.
Compliance	Open compliances, overdue compliances, upcoming due dates and closure rate.
Risks & Issues	Open risks, high-severity risks, unresolved issues, mitigation and closure status.

Outcome

The implementation enabled the project team to establish a single source of truth for project information and provided management with real-time visibility into project performance.

PragatiWeb helped improve project governance, strengthen accountability, enhance schedule control and support timely decision-making across engineering, procurement, construction and compliance functions.
