CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY (CONTECH)

Construction technology (CONTECH) is the official name for the skills and technology
involved in the construction industry. It refers to the collection of innovative tools,
machinery, modifications, software used during the construction phase of a project that
enables advancement in field construction methods, including semi- automated and
automated construction equipment.
Some of the latest trends in construction technology include the increased use of
prefabricated parts, using computers to design buildings, and using green technology to
construct eco-friendly structures.
One way construction firms are improving productivity is through offsite construction.
There are two forms of offsite construction: modular and prefabrication. Modular
construction is where workers will build entire rooms equipped with all appliances offsite
before the section is transported, inserted, and attached to the building. Prefabrication is
similar to modular where components are built offsite in a similar fashion, but rather than
rooms the components are usually sections like frames, wall panels, and floor systems.
Another way CONTECH is changing the industry is through improvements in safety and
training. New technology like virtual reality and augmented reality are helping to improve
safety by allowing workers to practice being in certain potentially dangerous environments
like operating cranes and other heavy machinery to performing welding work. 
Wearable (PPE) are also being used to improve worker safety by monitoring their
movements and helping to define construction site hazards. Geofencing allows safety
supervisors to establish restricted areas that alert workers when they have walked into
hazardous zones, and e-textiles can monitor important measures like heart rate and skin
temperature on workers. These wearable will allow supervisors and workers to help
prevent and predict an accident before it happens.
6.1 STRUCTURAL WORKS
6.1.1 Earthwork in Excavation
Machine excavation will be done for excavation for footing, foundation trenches and other
related works. Code of safety confirming to IS 3764: 1992 or other relevant standards will be

necessary.

6.2.1.2 Retaining wall, Columns and beams

reinforced concrete for different varying members shall be decided as per structural design
and for the purpose of mix proportioning design mix shall be used. The mix material such as
aggregate and sand will be tested and approved by the consultant’s team prior to use.

wherever necessary. Support – Pipe Clamp

6.2.1.3 Substructure infill works (Basement)

For the purpose of infill works, periphery wall shall be R.C.C retaining walls and all internal

pressure grouting with suitable chemicals.

6.2.1.4 Superstructure frame and deck slab

Structural Steel shall be used for all structural members including beam, column and

ARCHITECTURAL WORKS

6.2 ARCHITECTURAL WORKS

6.2.1 Design Concept

The design of the terminal building is a modern concept featuring steel and glass as the
main materials used for the construction. The terminal building will be equipped with high
quality utilities for HVAC, Electrical, etc. The final output will be delivered during the
Final Design Phase.

"Namaste" a sign of welcome and goodbye has been interpreted into our design
concept for the facade. This feature will be used both on Landside and Airside. Namaste
allows two individuals to come together energetically to a place of connection and
timelessness. The design interprets the definition and the function of the concept into the
facade treatment.
6.3 Elevated Road for T2

 We have approximately 160.0 meter or so from the edge of the TB to the entry /
exit gates of the main road/within that space there is a provision of storm water
drainage etc. in the right of way of 21.5 m from the edge of the road (subject to
confirmation), car park and internal roads.
 The length between the outer edge of the kerb and the edge of the internal road in
front of the car park is approximately 86.0 m. In that 86.0 m. length we can easily
go up to 1.5 m high (proposed plinth level of the TB)
 The elevated road and the kerb @ 1. 5 m AGL will be constructed over the filled
up and compacted earth retained by RCC retaining walls.
 The elevated road shall be of RCC construction with construction joints at every
30.0 m.
 The road will be illuminated by few high level masts having LED lights. These
masts will be supported on the ground over the designed pedestals.
 There could be low level illumination on the edges of the road illuminating the
road surface only.
 This road will merge with kerb and allied facilities like VIP entrances and
Employee / Staff entries.
6.4 Main building T2

6.4.1 Structural

 Will be on the pile foundation over the filled up earth, the details will be provided
by structural engineer at the details design stage.
 RCC stub columns of required design will be provided with pre designed steel
bolts protruding above the finished floor level by about 450 mm or so.
 Proposed steel structure (preferably tubular) will be pre -engineered off site and
assembled and erected and painted at site with strict supervision. This approach
will have quicker erection of structure and cost effective. The workshop where
these members are made must be inspected and certified by structural engineer
and periodic inspections are required during their fabrication at the workshop
floor. Requisite tests must be carried out during their erection and final
completion of the structural system.
 Structural engineer need to review and approve detailed shop drawings prepared
by the fabricator on the basis of the drawings issued by the structural engineer.
 Detail specification of primer coats, water retardant paints and anti corrosive
paints etc to be worked out in detail. It must be strictly adhered to by the
fabricator.

6.4.2 Building Materials (Proposed)

 Floors – RCC deck supported on steel trusses. Preferable to have access floor
system with anti static tiles of required specification as per approval. Access floor
gives flexibility to have various power lines like electricity, clean power,

filled up with sound resistant materials and if required with vandal proof material
etc. The cavity can also be used for wiring of services if required.
 Glazing – all external glazing will be double glazing to achieve 35 db within the
building. They are erected with designed and approved powder coated flush
glazing system. The external glazing shall not be less than 12mm thk. And shall
