Engineering
 
   
 
Key player and one among the few in the Country to deliver challenging Engineering Marvels.Pre-Cast Concrete Structures:

These are long span structures (Span 22 Meters) with roof elements such as folded plate, Shell etc. These elements are cast in ground and erected using Gantry/Cranes. These buildings are suitable where internal columns are to be avoided, and also it gives ventilation, bright lighting and minimizes the temperature inside. Since its being precast at the ground itself, the quality of the concrete and the finishes are maintained to high extent. Speedy construction can be achieved through these types of construction.


Wall panels are the precast side panels, which are cast in yard and erected in position. These concrete walls have aesthetic grooves and other joinery provisions to cater the requirements of the buildings. These form finished walls, which do not require any plastering.
