Literally, Precast is the Future. On a large-scale basis there are several advantages without forceable disadvantages. With Japan covering over 3.2% of World's precast concrete market size with high-definition methodology and improved mixtures. Its India that is in the emerging business of precast concrete.

This should be done for all the construction in India

I'm hoping the new era of connectivity, logistics, shipping and transportation will begin at Dwarka. The Sudarshan Setu Bridge is not just a feat of engineering; it's a symbol of connectivity and progress, ushering in a new era of accessibility and convenience for the people of Gujarat. Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Sudarshan Setu, a monumental four-lane cable-stayed bridge linking Okha to Beyt Dwarka island in Gujarat. Costing Rs 979 crore, this engineering marvel spans 2.32 kilometers, with a central double-span cable-stayed portion covering 900 meters, accompanied by a 2.45-kilometer-long approach road. The bridge flaunts a captivating design, featuring steel pylons and cables arranged in a fan-like pattern. Its aesthetic allure has made it a prominent landmark in Dwarka, captivating the nation's attention. Serving as a vital link, the Sudarshan Setu Bridge connects the mainland town of Okha with Beyt Dwarka island, previously accessible solely by boat. This direct connection promises to substantially reduce travel time, enhancing accessibility for pilgrims and tourists alike. The cable-stayed bridge boasts a deck composed of composite steel-reinforced concrete, with a substantial width of 27.2 meters accommodating two lanes in each direction and 2.5-meter-wide footpaths on both sides. Solar panels atop the footpath shade enhance sustainability, generating 1 MW of power. Stretching across a remarkable total length of 2,320 meters, it holds the prestigious title of India's longest cable-stayed bridge. With three spans, including a 500-meter-long middle span, and two A-shaped composite pylons towering at a height of 129.985 meters, the bridge seamlessly integrates impressive engineering and design features.

🌍 Revolutionizing Green Living with Shipping Containers 🏠 We pour so much into building concrete homes—taking soil, water, and natural resources from the Earth, depleting it bit by bit. But what if there’s a better way? Reuse and recycle is the most eco-friendly path forward, and Dhara and Sonali from Pune are showing us how. Their startup, Studio Alternatives, turns discarded shipping containers into sustainable, affordable, and moveable spaces, helping reduce the carbon footprint of the construction industry—responsible for 39% of global emissions! Positive Impact on the Environment: Reduced Waste: By upcycling containers, they’re keeping tons of steel out of landfills. Lower Carbon Emissions: These container homes require fewer resources and energy to build, directly contributing to the fight against climate change. Sustainable Features: With grey water recycling and gardening zones in the works, they’re taking green living to the next level. One of their most touching projects? A portable school for an NGO, designed to reach kids wherever they are. They’re not just building structures—they’re creating a more sustainable future by rethinking waste. Truly inspiring! Huge shoutout to #TheBetterIndia for sharing stories like this that remind us of the power of innovation and sustainability. 🌱 #Sustainability #Upcycling #ContainerHomes #GreenLiving #ClimateAction #CircularEconomy #EcoFriendly #Innovation #GreenBuilding #TheBetterIndia #StudioAlternatives #ReduceReuseRecycle #EnvironmentalImpact #SustainableLiving

#SelfHealingConcrete: A Potential Game-changer for Indian Roads In 2022, India faced a stark reality where nearly 4,500 accidents were attributed to potholes, claiming over 1,800 lives. The urgent need for more resilient and safer roads is undeniable. Enter the promising technology of self-healing asphalt, a novel approach championed by Dutch scientist Erik Schlangen that could redefine road maintenance and safety on Indian highways. Indian roads, primarily constructed from asphalt due to its ease of installation and cost-effectiveness, suffer from inherent durability issues. Traditional asphalt allows water infiltration through its pores, leading to the formation of cracks and the dreaded potholes. However, Schlangen’s innovation incorporates small steel fibers into the asphalt mix, creating a dynamic material that can expand when heated, effectively sealing small cracks before they evolve into larger structural problems. This self-healing mechanism is activated by heat, a resource abundantly available in India's predominantly warm climate. While the technology typically requires running a heat-generating induction machine over the asphalt to initiate the healing process, the potential for leveraging India's sunny weather could be explored to optimize this feature, making the roads self-repairing with minimal intervention. Currently, self-healing asphalt is being tested across 12 roads in the Netherlands, demonstrating promising longevity since its public introduction in 2010. Although the initial costs are estimated to be 25% higher than standard asphalt, the reduction in frequent maintenance could translate into significant long-term savings. Considering that India loses an estimated $22 billion annually to traffic congestion, with vehicles burning excess fuel and freight delays due to poor road conditions, the economic case for investing in self-healing roads is strong. Moreover, smoother and more reliable road surfaces could drastically improve traffic flow, potentially increasing average vehicle speeds by up to 15 km per hour in major cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Kolkata. This not only enhances fuel efficiency but also reduces the carbon footprint of millions of vehicles. As India continues to develop its infrastructure under initiatives like the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), integrating self-healing asphalt into the road construction protocol could be a strategic move. This technology promises enhanced safety and durability and aligns with sustainable development goals by reducing the need for repetitive, resource-intensive road repairs. #Infrastructure #Innovation #SelfHealingRoads #SustainableDevelopment #SmartInfrastructure #IndianHighways #EngineeringExcellence #NHAI
