The infrastructure sector in India has seen impressive transformation in the
last few years. For a speedy progress of our country, the development of
Infrastructure in Indian cities and multi-modal transport connectivity are
extremely vital. Keeping this in view, CONSTRU India 2010 will focus on six
major segments viz. Urban Infrastructure & Transport, Green & Intelligent
Buildings, Build with Steel, Construction Engineering & Design, Construction
& Building Materials, Electricals in Building.
CONSTRU India 2010 offers an opportunity to meet top manufacturers,
architects, construction engineers, contractors, specifiers, consultants and
decision–makers in the infrastructure industry from all over India and
overseas. With a successful 11-year track record, the 2010 edition will
feature over 150 exhibitors showcasing latest technologies, equipments &
services in approximately 5000 sq.mtrs. exhibit-display area.
Sectors covered :-
Urban Infrastructure & Transport
Urban transport is a key element of urban infrastructure. The urban
development ministry is examining the proposals of seven metro rail projects
in different parts of the country, with a total investment of Rs 43,360
crore. Two pioneering efforts in public transport in India have come about
in Kolkata and Delhi. Delhi Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS), a joint
venture between Government of India and Government of National Capital
Territory of Delhi, is being implemented by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation
(DMRC).Road and highways minister Kamal Nath said, “India will soon get a
loan of $ 3billion loan from the World Bank for building roads in the
country”. This section will analyse the scenario, estimating basic
investment needs in Urban Transport & discussing methods of resource
mobilization.
Construction Engineering & Design
Construction Engineering & Design is needed, to ensure a safe and a
stable construction environment, especially as it relates to rehabilitation
projects. Engineering experts are dedicated to designing and building safe,
livable, and healthy projects for residential and commercial structures,
retaining walls, drainage and soil stability, road & highways, railways,
ports & dams, airports etc.
Build with Steel
According to the Investment Commission of India investments of around US
$ 30 billion in steel are in pipeline over the next five years. It has been
forecast that the apparent Steel use point in India will increase by 11.8
percent in 2010. The per capita consumption of steel in our country is 46
kg, which is much below the global average of 150 kg. The aim is to increase
the target to 90 kg by 2014. Simultaneously, steel consumption in the
country in the last five years has risen by a compounded annual growth rate
(CAGR) of 9.54 percent.
Electricals in Building & Construction
Electricals are an essential element to any successful building project
from conception to day-to-day operations.. India Offers a huge market , as
per estimates of Building Materials and Technology Promotion Council, an
investment of the order of Euro 1000 billion would be required in
housing/building sector until 2010. Energy efficient products and
eco-friendly solutions are now the key growth drivers for the Rs 5000 crore
lighting industry .Developments in newer technologies like LED's which have
a lifetime of upto 50,000 hours or approx 25 years,will open new ways of
deploying lighting solutions. The market potential offered by energy
efficient lighting products is huge. Therefore, the demand for Electricals
in Building & Construction is on a rise
Green & Intelligent Buildings
Green building brings together a vast array of practices and techniques
to reduce and ultimately eliminate the impacts of buildings on the
environment and human health. There are several key steps in designing
sustainable buildings which reduce loads, optimize systems, and generate
on-site renewable energy. This section is designed to showcase the progress
made, deliberate the potential opportunities and challenges facing the
industry and to create a roadmap for sustainable growth and development.
Construction & Building Materials
India faces an increasingly urgent challenge for building a reliable and
efficient infrastructure speedily. Geosynthetic products like the Geogrids,
Geotextiles, Geonets, Geomembranes offer new, viable geotechnical
engineering materials which helps in significant economic and social
benefits. Better quality of construction and building materials can play a
significant role in achieving not only speed but also major improvements in
quality and economy in infrastructure construction. This Section dedicated
to the innovative use of materials in construction and repair.
