Booming Need
Construction Week|April 2018

Boom and concrete pumps have cemented their place in the industry by ensuring uniform pours and superior construction quality, besides addressing cost, waste and environmental compliance issues.

Booming Need

If one casts an eye around the construction space, one is bound to notice high-rise super structures in every urban centre or town. Metro cities, in fact, boast a number of such mega projects being executed simultaneously, or in quick succession of one another. This is impossible to achieve without indulging in the latest technologies that have emerged within the construction arena. One such key technology is that of concrete pumping systems. Today, having such fast-paced equipment at work ensures that developers can make concrete mixes of a chosen type and ensure that they reach hard-to-access places with ease. These boom & concrete pumps, and their systems, have effectively made such super structure projects a big success.

MOVING UP

As India marches from a rural-centric economy to an urban-based one, backed by the growth in sectors such as manufacturing and services in recent years, the infrastructure needs in urban centres have also risen tremendously. However, ever-soaring land prices in these centres have led to a vertical construction trend. Having tasted success in metro cities and given the obvious benefits that these super structures bring, a recent phenomenon that is being witnessed is that of such high-rises now donning the skies of even tier-II cities. In fact, rapid urbanisation in India is expected to continue unabated; hence, it is safe to assume that such vertical construction will be on the rise.

Commenting on the need for technology support in this area, Sailaj Verma, senior VP, sales, KYB-Conmat India, suggests, “The key elements in terms of technology for skyscrapers are the construction of mega mat foundation, delivering architectural load into the ground, structural system optimisation, high-rise building measurement technology, and construction equipment technology.”
