On the ground, At the core: SFC's E&C team that powers the last mile

In the world of environmental engineering, the true test of a solution lies in its performance on the ground. And no team embodies this better than the Erection & Commissioning (E&C) team at SFC Environmental Technologies. Tasked with activating and operationalizing SFC’s technologies across the country, this 48-member-strong remote team is the invisible yet indispensable force turning design into delivery—one plant at a time.

Led by Virendra Rane, the team commissions an average of 80 C-Tech® plants each year, while also overseeing the installation of Fiber Disc Filters, Turbo Blowers, and complete automation systems including PLC and SCADA. Spread across India’s length and breadth, they work on sites in live conditions, under varying terrain, weather, and project timelines—yet remain one of the most united and close-knit teams in the company.

More Than Commissioning: The Frontline of Performance

The E&C team isn’t just responsible for powering up systems—they serve as the face of SFC at every STP site. Whether it’s fine-tuning the automation platform, troubleshooting unexpected issues, training operators, or supporting customers post-handover, this team is our most visible representative on ground.

They go beyond their scope, often supporting:

Spares sales and customer service
Field observations that help the design and manufacturing teams enhance future iterations
Final plant validations and audit support

Their ability to balance technical execution with customer interaction makes them one of the most agile, multi-skilled functions at SFC.

A Team That Shows Up—Always

Despite being on the move across the country, the E&C team is a regular presence at every major company event—be it the SFC Sports Day, the Annual Day, or corporate team building initiatives. Their sportsmanship, camaraderie, and enthusiasm stand out as a testament to their team spirit.

They also played a pivotal role in executing the project for our newly inaugurated corporate office—ensuring the same precision they bring to customer projects was reflected in our own home base.

Tech-Enabled, Customer-Centric Future

Looking ahead, the E&C team will play a crucial hands-on role as we begin executing larger, more complex projects and deploy new advanced reuse technologies. To support this, SFC is also developing a dedicated mobile app that will streamline site reporting, track spare part requests, and offer real-time customer support—ensuring our field engineers are fully equipped to deliver excellence.

The Backbone of Execution

In many ways, the Erection & Commissioning team is where technology meets the real world. They are our last-mile champions, our problem-solvers in real-time, and our frontline brand ambassadors. As SFC scales new heights, this team will continue to be at the heart of our promise—to deliver technologies that work, and support that stays.
