Construction Project Management Software for Indian Power Infrastructure Contractors
Built for the contractors
Indian power systems are wired by.
Substations, transmission lines, switchyards, and hybrid renewable plants. POWERGRID and state DISCOM specifications, IS / IEC code references, equipment-erection sequencing, and commissioning protocols that hold up to CEA inspection.
POWERGRID + DISCOM
Specification and rate references baked in
Tower-by-tower
Erection tracking from foundation to stringing
FAT + SAT
Factory and site acceptance test logs linked to delivery
CEA-ready
Inspection logs and commissioning records on one record
Power work is paid in stages. Stages slip on equipment.
Power infrastructure projects run on long-lead equipment: transformers, switchgear, conductors, insulators. The construction schedule depends on the equipment delivery schedule, which depends on the FAT schedule, which depends on the manufacturer's order book. One factory delay cascades into three months on site. Most contractors discover the cascade two weeks after it has started.
Transformer FAT slipping by two weeks, schedule slipping by two months
100 MVA transformer FAT scheduled at the manufacturer's plant in Vadodara on the 14th. Test slips to the 28th because of a routine quality finding. Transport to site is now two weeks late. Foundation curing was timed to the original delivery; it's now sitting idle. Substation commissioning slips a month. The LD clock is already ticking.
Tower-line stringing waiting on right-of-way clearance
30km transmission line, 87 towers. Foundations and erection complete on 71 towers. The remaining 16 are blocked on right-of-way clearance from a single farmer who hasn't accepted compensation. Stringing can't start until tower 87. The crew is mobilized; the cost is daily.
Substation panel commissioning fails CEA inspection
11kV switchgear commissioned. CEA inspection scheduled. Inspection finds earthing resistance higher than IS-3043 limit at one bus. Rectification needs the substation re-de-energized; coordination with the distribution licensee takes two weeks. Hand-over delayed.
Equipment-delivery vs civil-readiness mismatch
GIS substation civil works finish on schedule. The GIS bays arrive a month late. Crew on site has nothing to install; demobilization vs holding-cost decision goes to the Director. By the time the GIS arrives, the curing-acceptance window for the cable trenches has closed and re-acceptance is required.
From contract to commissioning, on a long-lead-aware project record.
Power infrastructure scheduling is dominated by equipment delivery. CivilBolt builds the project record around two parallel tracks: civil works and equipment supply. When one slips, the other replans automatically.
Step 01
Upload the contract, technical specs, and equipment schedule
Civil Brain reads POWERGRID, DISCOM, or CEA-mandated specifications. Equipment supply terms (transformers, switchgear, conductors, OPGW) parse out as separate sub-projects with their own milestone tracks.
Step 02
Civil works and equipment tracks scheduled in parallel
Foundation construction tied to transformer delivery date. Tower erection tied to conductor procurement. Switchgear commissioning tied to FAT acceptance. Slip one date, the dependent civil work replans within hours.
Step 03
FAT, SAT, and commissioning logs in one record
Factory acceptance test results threaded with the equipment PO. Site acceptance test threaded with the FAT. Commissioning logs and CEA inspection findings linked to the asset, not to a separate folder. Rectification cycles tracked end to end.
Step 04
Stage payments and milestone bills auto-populated
Stage milestones (foundation, erection, stringing, commissioning, hand-over) trigger their RA bill drafts automatically. Each draft pulls the test certificates, inspection findings, and as-built drawings the PMC needs to release payment.
Contract modes used on Indian power infrastructure projects.
POWERGRID work is mostly EPC. State transmission projects skew EPC or item-rate. Solar and hybrid renewable projects increasingly use BOOT or BOO under PPA structures.
