On 15 Dec 1999, there was a slab collapse of a major but old bridge across Desai creek due to weakening of masonary structure supporting the slabs. Considering the urgency of the situation, a tender was floated by the PWD Department of Govt of Maharashtra by calling selected 10 bridge contractors and we were fortunate to be awarded the work despite competition from big construction cos. Our scope included dismantling of existing bridge and reconstruction of the same at the same location. Despite high varation of tide we were successful in completion of the bridge in record time of 86 days which is still a record in creek bridges in Maharashtra.
