2. LITERATURE CASE STUDY: INSTACON TOWER, MOHALI

3. INTRODUCTION LOCATION: Mohali, Punjab, India. COMPLETED ON : December 1, 2012. DEVELOPER: Synergy Thrislington, a Mohali-based infrastructure company. SIZE OF THE PROJECT: 2,553.60 sq m The first building of its kind in India, the structure was built with the assistance of three cranes and more than 200 highly skilled technicians and workers. A dead load of 1,200-1,500 kg sq m along with a live load of 320-350 kg sq m, the 48-hour masterwork stands tall in this vibrant city . COSTS: 8-9 Crore . It required 40-60 days for Instacon's units to be manufactured in the factory . DURING CONSTRUCTION

4. CONCEPT Shotcrete pumps

5. BUILDING MATERIALS: The external structure of the building comprises double-skinned PUF panel (PVDF galvalume coated sheet) that ensures thermal insulation. The core material used is mild steel, which is lightweight, strong, flexible and environment-friendly. The steel is also coated with rust retardants and anti-corrosive paints to avoid rusting. Brick, sand or gravel is not utilised in the constructing process; however, concrete is used only in the foundation and in a three-inch deck flooring . Internal wall and false ceiling: LAGYP™ gypsum boards. CONSTRUCTION: Around 80-90 per cent of the work was completed in the factory under a controlled environment. In this system, different units of the building such as wall panels, columns, etc , were produced within the factory and then transported them to the actual site where 10-20 per cent of the work was carried out by simply installing them. Also , utility arrangements such as HVAC, plumbing, electrical, fire-fighting, etc , were fitted in the floor frames of steel. Deck sheet for flooring Concrete EPS Concrete wall for internal and external partition Cast in-situ foundation

6. EPS Concrete Wall -130 mm thick Slab and Column Detail Slab to C olumn J oint A lightweight structure with a unique bracing system. Sustainable , non-toxic and recyclable. Reduced the amount of waste, carbon footprint and the impact on green spaces at the actual site. The structure is also energy-efficient as it provides floor insulation using the HVAC technique, the energy recovery ventilator (ERV) system and electrostatic precipitator system for fresh air circulation, lux-controlled curtains for temperature maintenance, occupancy sensor, temperature sensor, remote control switches and LEDs.

7. PROBLEMS FACED IN CONVENTIONAL CONSTRUCTION Time Consuming Cost Escalations/variations Poor Quality Construction Shortage of Skilled Manpower Time over runs Unsafe Buildings ADVANTAGES: Energy efficient houses Safety at Construction Earth Quake resistance Faster construction mode saves time. No Cost escalations Less Electricity Consumption Early return on Investment . Quicker income from rental . Minimal material wastage and increased asset value. Economy of scale in manufacturing Salvage Value after lifetime Availability of more carpet area Partition
