Government and Companies Switching to Green Construction Trends in India

Going “green” has been one of the most noticeable trends in the construction industry in India since the past few years. With the dawn of the 21st century, construction companies, whether small or big, have become more cautious about adopting green practices to build Eco-friendly buildings. Navrattan Infra Private Limited is one such infrastructure development venture in India which has made conscious effort to implement Eco-friendly infrastructure, which has immense scope and relevance in the present scenario.

As of today, all infrastructure projects in India are required to furnish an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report to seek approval from the government of India. Likewise, the developmental projects have to acquire the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) consent to commence work. It raises our concern to know that over the years the EIA norms have been modified to accelerate the approval process leaving behind the environmental concerns linked with infrastructure development.

Social scientists and economist all over the world are pushing for the adoption of “green” practices in infrastructure projects to protect the environment. Green infrastructure development is essential to ensure overall India’s economic growth. Even after 68 years of independence, India is still lagging behind many countries of the world in quality infrastructure growth. Despite this, a large number of infrastructure companies are adopting energy-efficient technologies and using Eco-friendly cement and other materials for construction purposes.

Also, the growing concern amongst the construction companies the authorities have become more conscious about the importance of sustainable resources for the future. To add to it, the industry players are finding green practices to be more commercially viable option as they are now able to curb escalating costs of construction

Rain Water Harvesting

Demand for water is growing in most cities as every urban citizen requires almost double the amount of water than a rural citizen. Moreover, India is rapidly urbanizing. Urban population in India has grown almost five times in five decades from (62.44 million) in 1951 to (286.08) in 2001. Not long ago, most of our cities were self-sufficient in meeting their water needs from the extensive urban water bodies to supply water to citizens. Today these water bodies have completely disappeared. Municipalities have been stretched to their limits to find water for the growing urban populations. Groundwater is being extracted by the government as well as the private parties. The term rainwater harvesting is being frequently used these days, however, the concept of water harvesting is not new for India. Water harvesting techniques had been evolved and developed centuries ago. System of collecting rainwater and conserving for future needs has traditionally been practiced in India....

Blue Crete Cement - Innovative Cement Technology

After years of research scientists have invented a new type of cement that is a cross breed of Geo-Polymer and Nano-Ceramic cement. Geo-Blue Crete is a complete low carbon alternative that looks, acts and works like Portland cement but has three times the compression and tensile strengths of Portland cement. It can be distributed in the same way, with the same equipment, at a low manufacturing cost. This new age cement is a one-part system that only requires a simple paddle mixing of its powdered chemical formula at ambient temperatures. The manufacturing process is not dependent on fossil fuels or large kilns. However, it's delivery system remains the same as OPC and the product itself results in a high-performance concrete at 6000 psi and over. It is water retardant, acid retardant, discourages the oxidation of rebar, and has a near-zero coefficient of expansion, which makes it excellent in below-freezing temperatures as well as in tropical regions. It does not trans...
