Simplex Concrete Piles (India) Ltd. is a leading civil
engineering construction Company operating in India. This
Company originally incorporated as a British Company in
India in 1924, introduced Simplex system of piling in
India and South-East Asia. Simplex came under Indian
management in 1947 when Mr. Madho Das Mundhra and his family
took over the Company.
The Company started its operations in the area of cast-
in-situ driven pile foundations. Converting local engineers
and architects from the centuries old foundation-laying
practices, to the latest construction techniques, training
unskilled workmen and inducting local personnel at all
levels; working on virgin sites under primitive conditions,
with minimal infrastructural facilities; Simplex undertook
the role of a true pioneer. Over a period of time, the
Company has diversified into various areas of civil
engineering and construction work spreading its geographical
area of operations to cover Myanmar, Malaysia and Sri Lanka.
The Company has participated in large projects of national
importance like construction of Steel Plants, Fertilizer
Plants, Paper Plants, Cement Plants, Thermal Power Plants,
Cooling Towers, bridges and flyovers, Ports and harbours,
Water and Waste Water treatment plants and infrastructural
and industrial projects. The modern and innovative
construction techniques followed and the attitude towards
achieving total quality is part of Simplex's reputation.
The present turnover of the Company as per the latest
balance sheet as on 31st March, 1995 is Rs 189.42 crores.
Its gross profit is Rs 13.92 crores and net profit is
Rs 6.06 crores and its earning per share is Rs 14.90. The
targeted turnover for the next year is Rs 250 crores.
The Company went public in February 1993. The maiden public
issue was over-subscribed. Since then, the Company has
successfully achieved the targets for the years 1992-93,
1993-94 and 1994-95 as projected in the prospectus at that
time.
The key factors responsible for Simplex's standing in the
industry can be described below :
i) All operations are controlled from the four zonal centres
and corporate headquarters. For every assignment, the first
step is a conceptual plan for manpower resources and
programme of work prepared by the respective zonal office.
The broad plan is next transmitted to the project manager
concerned for a detailed site level assessment and
programming.
ii) As befits an engineering organisation, technical
personnel comprise almost two-thirds of the total staff
strength of more than 2100. Of these, about 300 are high
caliber professionals in engineering, finance and business
administration-taking managerial responsibilities at the
four regional headquarters in Calcutta, Bombay, New Delhi
and Madras.
iii) To smoothly function while taking on new challenges.
Simplex owns a whole range of construction equipment,
including cranes, hydraulic excavators, dumpers, generators,
compressors, well point dewatering sets, slipform equipment,
Piling Rigs, Power Hammers, Augures, Boring Equipments,
Batching Plants, heavy duty cranes, truck mixers, concrete
pumps, Jetty Piling equipments (Simplex design) Hydraulic
Piling Hammer, Pneumatic Piling Hammer, Tower Crane,
Automatic 'Tunnel Form' equipments etc.
iv) SCPL has a well-staffed Plant Division run by senior
mechanical engineers, which works closely with construction
engineers to plan out various alternative techniques and
provide necessary plant systems. Preventive maintenance for
all plant and machinery are mandatory at every site. For
the same reason, substitute spares for imported plant are
manufactured locally. As per any specific project
requirement plant and machinery are designed or modified to
meet exigencies at the project site.
The Company has constructed various foundations, turbine and
other equipment foundations, chimneys, cooling water ducts,
concrete and structural superstructures, coal handling
plants, treatment plants, ash handling plants, cooling
towers and handled mechanical erection for a large number of
power stations in India ranging from 10 MW to 250 MW which
have been constructed by NTPC, State Electricity Boards.
Awareness of International technical quality
requirements has helped to secure orders for civil and
structural work for almost all gas based combined cycle
power projects in India, constructed by multinationals.
The Company has recently diversified into housing area; for
constructing mass housing complex on a turnkey basis. The
Company has entered into' a MOU with M/s Aarding of Holland
to manufacture specialised construction equipment in India.

designed to achieve quality, construction at high speed.
These equipments can be used for the construction of low
cost houses as well as posh residential apartments, shopping
complexes and hotels.
