The total urban housing need of India is expected to increase to 44-48 million units by 2022. The Hon'ble Prime Minister of India has envisioned housing for all by 2022, when the nation completes 75 years of Independence. To achieve this objective, the Central Government has launched a comprehensive mission “Housing for all by 2022.”
Precast technology is the best system of construction to meet such an ambitiuos goal. The conference will debate the different precast / prefabricated technologies and other sytsems of construction that are best suited to the Indian environment, are cost effective, and are the right solution for the country's preparedness to meet the expected demand.
Presentations
The conference will present information on the following topics:
Various Pre-Engineered types of constructions in India for Residential, Office, Commercial and Educational Institutions. These include:
- Prefab Structural Steel (using rolled steel and fabricated sections)
- Light Gauge steel or cold formed sections for use in construction of 4 to 6 storied buildings
- Pre Engineered sandwich panels with shortcreting application on either side
- Pre-Engineered wall panels with puf, and rockwool insulations
- Glue laminated Timber structures
- Structure showcasing examples of constructed Precast concrete Buildings
