L&T Heavy Engineering earns coveted awards for ESG and innovative measures

The A M Naik Heavy Engineering Complex (AMNHEC) of L&T at Hazira in Gujarat has been conferred the ‘Best CSR Project of the Year’ award in the manufacturing category at the Corporate Social Responsibility Summit & Awards 2024 by UBS Forums.

The award has been bestowed for a project that L&T undertook ensuring drinking water security in 15 villages near Hazira. Being near the sea, the villages have always faced water scarcity due to the salinity of the water and soil and the unavailability of water storage infrastructure.

L&T constructed underground water tanks at 15 villages along the coast, around 28 kilometres from Hazira, where the AMNHEC is located.

In another development, L&T Heavy Engineering has been bestowed the Southern Gujarat Chamber Of Commerce & Industry Golden Jubilee Memorial Trust Award for outstanding performance in energy conservation.

The award is a testament to L&T’s unwavering dedication to energy conservation, achieved through sustainable manufacturing practices at the AMNHEC.

The Trust was established in 1990 to acknowledge exceptional contributions by individuals and organisations through an annual award for excellence in various fields.

That’s not all! Heavy Engineering’s Special Fabrication Unit has won a Silver trophy in the 48th CII National Kai-zen Competition. A total of 47 innovative ideas were presented by leading companies in the automobile, engineering and construction industry segments.

L&T won the award for its innovative Nozzle Welding Automation for Filter Vessel, which truly showcases how small changes can make a big difference. The innovation led to significant improvements in quality control, delivery time, standardisation of work, efficient equipment usage, waste reduction and cost reduction.

These awards are a testament to L&T Heavy Engineering’s commitment to ESG, innovation and digitalisation.
