Power Transmission Project Monitoring

Project Overview

Sector

Power Transmission

Project Type

400 KV Transmission Line & Bay Extension

Execution Scope

Line, Bay, Civil, Erection & Commissioning

Platform Scope

Real-Time Project Monitoring

Executive Summary

Transmission line and bay extension projects involve multiple stakeholders, long supply chains, extensive field activities, statutory permissions and strict commissioning timelines.

Project teams often struggle with fragmented reporting systems, delayed issue escalation and limited visibility into engineering, procurement and site progress.

PragatiWeb was deployed to establish a centralized digital project monitoring platform for tracking all project activities through real-time dashboards, automated reporting and structured action monitoring.
