Greetings from L&T! We appreciate the fact that you are set to

embark on a life-defining journey and we are ready to walk with

you to make your transition smoother. We understand your

anxieties, and this edition of Campus to Corporate is designed to

address a few of them.

Though L&T’s legacy cannot be shared within a few editions of

such newsletters, we would like to acquaint you with some of

our areas of expertise and domains of operation apart from how

GETs, like you, have made it big at project sites. We will give

you a peek into L&T’s HQ campus at Chennai apart from sharing

some slices of life at L&T.

Mark Twain famously said, “…throw off the bowlines, sail away

from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore,

Dream, Discover.” Lets together construct our dreams of a

brighter tomorrow.

All the best and hoping to have you on board soon!

With our JV partner in Qatar, Al Balagh Trading & Contracting, we are

constructing the Al Rayyan Stadium at Doha, which will host the FIFA 2022

World Cup matches until the quarterfinals.

Reflecting Qatari culture and heritage and inspired by the Bedouin tents,

the Al Rayyan stadium and its precinct design will resemble the sand

dunes that surround these traditional desert encampments. With a seating

capacity of 40,000, fans from across the world no longer need to settle just

for the screen. This landmark stadium is expected to be completed two

years ahead of the big event.

Behind every

…there is L&T

L&T bends it like Beckhamat Al Rayyan for FIFA 2022

The Motera stadium near Ahmedabad, Gujarat

is touted to be the biggest cricket stadium in the

world with international standards comparable to

the Melbourne Cricket Stadium in Australia. With

the demolition work of the old stadium complete,

L&T has won the toss to construct this marvel in

the making! The stadium will have an enhanced

seating capacity of 1,10,000, and associated

top-class facilities like eateries, fan-zones and

washrooms. The stadium is slated for completion

by next year.

Meanwhile,closer home…

What color are our buildings? Green, of course!Their finesse not withstanding, our structures are eco-friendly in design

too and they come in all geometric shapes. The Engineering Design and

Research Centre (EDRC), titled the Tree of knowledge, is triangular in

shape and rises like the branches of a tree. EDRC is the recipient of the

2002 Federation Internationale due Beton (fib) award and the LEED

Silver rating by the uS Green Building Council in the Existing Building

category for design, construction and operation of Green Buildings.

The Technology Centre II (TCII) is another landmark structure with uS

Green Building Council LEED-nC v2.1 certification.

At L&T, we are never two tyred!While most people prefer to sleep in on weekends, the cycling

enthusiasts of L&T are early birds who prefer to catch the

worm on the road. This adventurous spirit is what enables

L&T-ites to chart out new territories and race against time.

The cycling squad is just one among many such recreational

groups at L&T.

Apart from doing their bit to reduce the carbon footprint,

members of this club encourage curious onlookers to grab

their bikes too and pedal to a greener future. The team’s

dedication has resulted in covering distances even up to

160km at a stretch! What’s more, all this biking works up a

ravenous appetite that is satiated by grabbing some piping

hot grub on route!

As with any physical activity, cycling has its own share of ups

and downs-but the crew looks forward to GETs like you who

are young and full of zest to brave rain, shine, wind or storm.

Making sure every drop countsWe also have an efficient water

management system that ensures

conservation. The features include 2

sewage treatment plants, 10 reverse

osmosis plants and automated

sprinkling systems for campus

horticulture. Rainwater harvesting

systems have also been implemented

to recharge the aquifer.

Fun @ workYou are just months away from entering a sprawling 27 acre green

campus of L&T’s headquarters. Don’t let the size overwhelm you,

as you will feel at home in no time. Want to know where to get the

best dosas? We know just the right place. How can one get from

one block to another? That’s simple; just hop on to the e-buggy

that does the rounds! Here are some campus trivia you might want

to know!

Go green at your new campus

When waste becomes usefulA state-of-the-art Biogas plant processes the daily-

generated organic waste (1500 kg per day) and

produces electricity thereby reducing the GHG

emissions.

Take all you can eat, but eat all you take!Food lovers, here’s your cue. Browse through a variety of options-be it

north Indian, South Indian, Chinese or Continental, there’s something for

everyone’s palate. If you are one to watch your weight, we have a dedicated

eat-out for those who count each calorie. So, choose your pick and eat your

fill, but make sure you eat every last bit!

From green thumbs to green hands

In the last 5 years, with the support of our green

volunteers, more than 1,50,000 saplings have been

nurtured and planted in various public places such

as schools colleges, hospitals and local townships

through Project GreenHands.

We for

WomenCome March, L&T-ites are bitten by the excitement bug to usher in International

Women’s Day, with celebrations beginning a week in advance, culminating in a grand

finale. The festivities include a variety of fun events and games, ranging from ramp

walks to talk shows to quizzes and workshops. And men are certainly not excluded -

they indulge in exciting cooking duels donning the toque blanche, adding their unique

flavors to the revelry.

The theme for 2017 was #BeBoldforChange, instilling confidence in all the lovely

ladies out there to be unapologetic about their dreams and aspirations. The event was

a raging success as participation went through the roof. Despite their multifarious

responsibilities, women employees across ages spent many a diligent hour gearing up

for their shows-songs, dances, you name it and they’ve done them all.

The spectacular grand finale was replete with inspirational speeches, glitzy

performances and a sumptuous high tea. Well, the bar for next year’s celebrations has

certainly been set high!

L&T to me means …

From cricket tournaments to Training

The amiable colleagues are responsive

and helpful. L&T believes that freshers

“The secret of happiness is not in doing

what you like, but in liking what you do!”

- Sir Soren Kristian Toubro.

Last year, I had a hundred questions and

doubts prior to joining L&T Construction.

Today, without a second thought, I can

say that L&T Construction is the best

platform for fresh engineers to kick-start

their careers.

As a Lead – Project Manager, you are required to complete

a project within 10 months. How will you ensure that it is

completed on time?

You have been assigned the responsibility to manage a

uSD 5-million construction contract. How will you ensure

that the contract is completed within the contract value

with minimal or no extra claims?

As a Lead – Construction deployed at site, a sudden

requirement comes in from the client to expedite a

particular portion of work that is critical. Your top

management too has given a green signal to meet the

client’s requirement. However, you have work going on in

other areas as well. What actions will you take to meet the

client’s requirement?

Project management is a balancing act of four factors

- time, cost, quality and safety. Your project is running

behind schedule and as a Resident Construction Lead, you

need to crash it. What approach will you adopt to crash the

schedule without compromising any of the four factors?
