With the global shipping fleet growing substantially in size and capacity, Indian ports are facing the challenge of handling larger vessels. Most of the ports in the country have low draughts, ranging between 9 and 12 metres. […]
Pumps perform two key functions – the transfer of liquids from one system to another and the circulation of liquids within a system. […]
Water-intensive infrastructure sectors have given rise to an increased demand for efficient pumping solutions. […]
Due to the wide range of applications across sectors for which they are used, pumps are available in a plethora of sizes and functions. […]
Earthmoving equipment is typically classified into two large groups – for construction and infrastructure, and for mining. These industries in India have been in a state of flux as the regulatory environment has seen transformational […]
Earthmoving equipment constitutes 20-25 per cent of the cost of a construction project. […]
India is emerging as one of the largest markets for earthmoving and construction equipment (ECE) in the world. […]
The central government is serious about improving the pace of infrastructure development in the country. […]
The tunnelling market is largely dominated by the hydropower, railway, road and highway, metro rail and irrigation, water and sewerage sectors. […]
In India, the construction of tunnels is primarily undertaken by domestic contractors with very few foreign players present in the segment. […]
Tunnel development in India is driven by investments in the hydropower, railway, road and highway, metro rail, and water and sewerage sectors. […]
The equipment and technology market can broadly be divided into three categories – drill and blast equipment, tunnel boring machines (TBMs) and other equipment. Tunnelling equipment is usually acquired through purchase of new machinery, purchase […]
Tunnel construction requires various types of materials including explosives, concrete, steel, shotcrete material, lattice girders and rock reinforcement supplies. Materials used in tunnelling vary with the design and construction methods chosen for each project. The […]
Significant progress in technology as well as increasing focus on cost efficiency and safety have necessitated vast changes in the methods and techniques employed in tunnelling. […]
Geosynthetics are increasingly being accepted as construction material in different fields of civil engineering. […]
Geosynthetics are man-made synthetic materials, where at least one of the components is made from a synthetic or natural polymer in the form of a sheet, a strip or a three-dimensional structure (woven, non-woven or woven). […]
The increased use of geosynthetics is a much-needed step in a resource-constrained environment. […]
India has emerged as one of the fastest growing geosynthetic markets in the last few years. […]
The Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) has selected 20 cities in Round I of the Smart City Challenge. […]
By 2030, urban areas are expected to serve 40 per cent of India’s population and contribute 75 per cent to India’s gross domestic product. […]
