Tunnel development in the country is driven by investments in the hydropower, railway, roads and highways, metro rail, and water and sewerage sectors. While the railway sector was the first to undertake tunnel development, the […]
Tunnel construction is critically dependent on geotechnical investigations, as these offer the best inputs for identifying the most efficient technique to be deployed for tunnel excavation. Another factor that determines the choice between mechanised and […]
With the growing number and increasing complexity of infrastructure projects in the country, the demand for tunnel development has gained momentum in the past few years. With projects involving longer tunnel lengths and given varying […]
With increased investment in infrastructure development, the country has transformed into one of the fastest growing markets for tunnel construction. A number of sectors such as railways, roads, hydropower, water supply and metro rail offer […]
Rising investment in tunnel construction has resulted in high growth in the tunnel equipment market. The entry of new manufacturers has widened the choice for project developers. Foreign players have now started setting up manufacturing […]
As a geologically complex activity, tunnel construction poses numerous challenges. Addressing these challenges requires the adoption of not just advanced tunnelling methods but also new-age materials. Diverse geological problems such as difficult terrain conditions, thrust […]
Tunnel projects face three key issues and challenges – geological complexities, poor contracting practices and safety issues. Of these, geological complexities pose the maximum risk to tunnel projects and have impacted the largest number of […]
With the increased focus on infrastructure development, tunnel construction in the country has picked up pace in recent years. Tunnels play an important role in setting up hydropower projects, developing urban mass rapid transit systems, […]
The steel sector, one of the country’s core industries, contributes about 2 per cent to GDP. At present, the infrastructure and construction sectors are the biggest consumers of steel, accounting for about 50 per cent […]
Dipesh Dipu, Partner, Mineral Policy Consultant, Brookings India The earthmoving and mining equipment industry has witnessed a fair degree of uncertainty in the recent past on account of lower-than-expected demand from the mining and infrastructure […]
Steel forms a significant part of the “material requirement” for infrastructure development. Government’s continued focus on infrastructure development translates to significant opportunity for steel manufacturers, as the metal finds extensive use in such projects. Steel […]
Creation of infrastructure, an economic determinant of GDP growth, critically hinges on the pace of construction activity. In the past few years, several government programmes that lay emphasis on infrastructure development have spurred growth in […]
Jayanta Roy, Group Head, Corporate Headings, ICRA The steel industry is inherently cyclical and follows the typical “boom-bust” commodity cycle. For the industry, while demand is influenced by local conditions, prices are influenced largely by […]
The construction equipment finance business is witnessing robust growth owing to the spurt in the road, irrigation, railway, affordable housing and mining sectors. Public and private sector banks, non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) and private financiers […]
The Indian steel industry is dominated by the private sector, which accounts for an 80 per cent share of the total market in terms of production. In terms of capacity too, while the steel capacity […]
In the past, when dealing with difficult sites for construction purposes, the conventional practice has been limited to either replacing unsuitable soils with other more suitable materials, or bypassing these soils with costly deep foundations. […]
