Mumbai: In its quickest time ever, the state-run City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) in Navi Mumbai has erected a 12-storey, 96-apartment tenement construction in a document 96 days on the charge of sooner or later according to condominium.

The construction was once made the use of ‘pre-cast’ era, by which components of the construction’s superstructure had been forged in a close-by manufacturing unit the use of reusable moulds. The venture was once constructed below the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana’s Mass Housing Scheme, below which a number of tenements throughout Navi Mumbai are being constructed for Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) and Lower Income Groups (LIG).

The particular person components — partitions, beams, columns, slabs, staircases and so forth. — had been then transported to the development web page close to Bamandongri Railway Station and lifted into position, in contrast to the ‘cast in place’ manner the place concrete is batched on web page after which used to forged the partitions and slabs of the construction in a metal formwork.

For the venture in query, a complete of one,985 precast components of the superstructure had been assembled over a built-up space of 64,000 sq. feet. Pre-cast concrete components are standardised and simply reproducible, have a smaller environmental footprint, build up time potency, cut back wastage of uncooked subject material and lead to much less cluttered and more secure development websites.

“The project was flagged on April 4 and finished on July 9, not just in fabricating the superstructure but also all the wiring, mechanical and electrical fittings. It meets the RERA norms of timely completion of projects. We made a concerted effort to finish the building under our ‘Mission 96’ campaign, which we hope to reproduce with other mass housing projects in the future,” stated CIDCO spokesperson Priya Ratambe.

“Mission 96 has showcased that precast technology is capable of building superior quality structures in factory-controlled environments, reducing floor cycle time, and can also mitigate lower manpower availability,” stated Sanjay Mukherjee, managing director, CIDCO.
