At the institute level, we are taught the best way to solve a problem, the best way to design for a structure taking care of all the failures and all the worst situations. Talking of a simple tunnel project having overburden of tens to thousand of tonnes of load along with the presence of various soft rock pockets present there in.Designing tunnels in such conditions requires lots of effort along with codal requirements and lots of experimentation to be done before proceeding to designing part(leave the construction apart).
Studying all these in the classroom, hearing about all these multi-crore projects in a 10 by 10 classroom seems so fascinating. But coming to real world where working under for companies and where profit is the main motive where the executive officer or the owner more concerned about the time and profits to be made.Reducing experimentation neglecting number of essential boreholes to be made and design the structure on the basis of incomplete ground profile often leads to failure. And as usual after such a havoc, a committee will be set up to enquire into the matter comprising of some beaureaucrates and rock engineering experts where again to get out of that contractors and company owners bribe the committee members to again find the loopholes into the indian codes or into the report itself to get rid of criminal offense.
All the knowledge gained at the institute level get modified in the real world suiting the real situations.
