The Department arranged an Industrial visit for selected students to Prefabricated Steel Structure Manufacturing Unit of the Prime Group located at KINFRA Integrated Industrial & Textile Park located at Kanjikode, Palakkad on 27 August 2024. Thirty six students from all semesters accompanied by two faculty members, Dr. Asha Joseph and Mr. Sreerath, joined the visit. The team started around 8:00AM in the morning from campus and after a brief tea break in between, reached the facility by 11:30AM.
The visiting group was welcomed and subsequently divided into two batches. This batching was to ensure a comprehensive learning experience for the students and to ensure the safety of the students, as the manufacturing unit operates within a potentially hazardous environment.
The first batch participated in a theoretical session where they were introduced to the core
concepts and methodologies behind pre engineered steel structure manufacturing. Meanwhile, the second batch was escorted through the manufacturing unit to observe the production processes firsthand. Each session lasted around 1 hour and 30 minutes, during which they were provided with detailed explanations and demonstrations.

The students were able to see the different stages of the manufacturing process, including the cutting of steel plates using CNC automatic multi-head cutting machines, hole punching with advanced laminating machines, and the subsequent assembly of steel components into desired sections. The students also had the opportunity to witness the specialised machinery used in these processes, gaining valuable insights into the operational aspects of the facility.
After the sessions and a lunch in between, the students and faculty members reached back the campus at 5:30 PM.
Throughout the visit, the students were collectively active and engaged, demonstrating a strong interest in the various aspects of the manufacturing processes. They thoroughly enjoyed the trip, which provided them with invaluable insights into the production of prefabricated steel structures, enhancing their understanding of both theoretical concepts and practical applications.
