INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT OF STZ
The STZ project is located in Khambrawanla village, 5 km away from Sialkot International Airport, Sialkot. With its approved work schedule, the construction progress during reporting period from Jan-Jun 2018, includes completion of 04 new Roads in zone A. Initiation of conveyance system (approx. 34 Km of length) comprising of Effluent and storm water drains at Road 11 to Road 30, Electrification of Tannery zone and completion of two store halls each of 2500 sq. ft. along camp office at site. Additional work at boundary wall, pavements and main gate includes associated repairs of pavements is completed on regular basis.
The following is a brief description of the each observed work in place:
MAIN ENTRANCE OF SIALKOT TANNERY ZONE
The main entrance is standing tall at the entrance of the STZ. The main entrance is designed to restrict the movement of people and objects through controlled spaces and will provide industrial machine safeguarding. It is designed to use two-way flow control, one-at-a-time flow control with security guard room. Another purpose for this entrance is to prevent or control the entry or exit of individuals in terms of security. STAGL has already taken proactive measures by engaging private security company for 24/7 security. On site main access roads and parking areas are also graded.
ROADS NETWORK IN STZ
All road network in tannery zone are completed up to sub-base level except black top. During UNIDO’s assisted study tour in Bursa, Turkey in 2017, STAGL management as a lesson learnt, is considering option of installing tuff tile instead on roads. In reporting period, 04 new roads demarcated in master layout plan which were approved and constructed after readjustment of plots. construction committee meetings have been held so far to discuss schedules, work progress, bill approvals, budget, submittals, and other current issues

ELECTRIFICATION OF THE STZ
GEPCO (Gujranwala Electric Power Company) in an engagement with STAGL started on the process of electrification in STZ. The first agreements for contract is to provide 4.9 MWs supply to be connected directly to the GEPCO administered transmission grid from existing Godahpur Grid station. The process was executed in Jan 2018. The GEPCO working for installation of supply began with concrete poles, copper wire installation and electric connectors and subsequently, visible progress is evident, wherein 420/550 poles are embarked. To safely place the electric material, STAGL constructed two store halls each of 2500 sq. ft. near camp office area.
