Bora Foods Industrial Shed, Daund

Bora Foods runs a food-processing campus of about 13 hectares at Daund, east of Pune. The site already holds factory buildings, a cold store, an oil plant, workshops and godowns, staff quarters, a generator room and rooftop solar, all on an existing high-tension supply. The new work is three proposed industrial sheds with a combined floor area of 13,682.50 sq m, set among the existing buildings on the campus roads. A shed added to a site that is already running is a different problem from a shed on an empty plot: water, fire, sewage and power have to be planned for the whole campus, not just the new roof, and the figures have to be set out the way the environmental clearance asks for them. The architecture is the architect's; our scope is the MEPF design and the EC data behind it.

We started with the water, issued as revision R0 for approval on 3 September 2026. People: 138 on the campus, at 45 litres a person a day (30 domestic, 15 flushing), which is 4.12 kL of domestic and 2.09 kL of flushing water a day. Process: 42.68 kL a day of industrial process water for the plant, counted on its own line rather than hidden in a per-head figure. Landscape: 13,390 sq m of planting at 6 litres per sq m a day under NBC 2016, which is 80.34 kL a day in the dry season and none in the wet - more than the factory itself, so we flagged it for the landscape consultant to confirm. That makes 129.23 kL a day in the dry season and 48.89 kL in the wet, set out in the dry- and wet-season consolidated statement used for the environmental clearance. Storage: underground tanks of 7 kL for domestic water (a day and a half), 3 kL for flushing and 200 kL for fire, 210 kL in all, and 28 kL on the overhead tanks (5 kL domestic, 3 kL flushing and 20 kL fire), with the fire volumes to be confirmed with the fire-licensing vendor and the fire NOC. Sewage: 5.59 kL a day, taken to a 10 KLD sewage plant whose 4.97 kL of treated water goes back to flushing and the gardens, with the wet-season surplus to the external drain. The electrical, fire-fighting and drainage design for the sheds follows on the same campus-wide basis, planned against the existing high-tension supply and rooftop solar.
