Bengaluru… INSTRUCT – Institute for Research Development and Training of Construction Trades And Management a professional registered body of Engineers & Architects headquartered at Bengaluru, is organizing ‘NIRMAANA 2024‘ a two day knowledge dissemination International conference on Smart and Sustainable construction with Futuristic Technologies’ on 12 and 13 September 2024 at Prestige Srihari Khoday Centre for Performing Arts, Kanakapura Road, Bangalore.
The conference will disseminate knowledge on Smart and Sustainable construction using futuristic technologies with technical sessions, discussions on the latest tools used in civil engineering construction processes. The Technology adoption in civil engineering construction including Design, Execution, Project monitoring is revolutionizing the construction process in terms of savings in cost, time and labour and on sustainability aspects too. Construction projects are made smarter and sustainable with adoption of digital technologies too. Some of the most beneficial and most rapidly used technology and tools are
1. Building Information Modelling – BIM
2. Internet of Things- loT
3. Virtual Reality and augmented Reality -AR&VR
4. 3D Printing
5. Drones and GPS
6. Light Detection and Ranging – LIDAR
7. Embedded systems for Structural Health Monitoring
The urgent need to know and adapt these tools into the construction industry. Programme Committee of INSTRUCT decided on drawing focus on the challenges and issues in adopting to tech platforms during NIRMAANA 2024, International Conference.
According to Dr CR Parthasarathy, Chairman, NIRMAANA Conference, “India is in the cusp of Infrastructure development which include roads and highways, railways, ports and waterways, hydro power plants, mass rapid transit systems, crude oil underground storage structures, sewage systems etc. Technological integration is a must requirement along with digitisation. In India, these construction activities are growing by leaps and bounds, with many outstanding projects which are ongoing or in the planning stage. Nirmaana 2024 aims to bring the necessary know-how to delegates from the Infrastructure Development sector and the Construction Equipment industry, and to the civil engineering professionals at large. Speaking about the organization, Er.Sheshadri, Chairman, INSTRUCT, explains that “INSTRUCT has been continually addressing the issues and challenges in the Construction Industry through training and updating sessions for the construction fraternity. It has been our practice to choose relevant topics after deliberating on the current and future needs of the industry by considering the complex nature of structures being built and the technologies that are being increasingly deployed such as the pre-cast and pre-engineered construction techniques”
NIRMAANA is a biannual event of INSTRUCT held mainly to focus, deliberate and sensitize the industry and its members on adoption of new technical tools and deliberate on advances made around the world. Speakers from India and abroad are invited to deliver special lectures on the topics of concurrent importance.
Er.Ravindranath BV, Secretary General, Organizing committee, speaks about the opportunity and exposure and feels that “Given the complexities involved in constructing civil engineering structures, there is a need for more advanced technical know-how on modern construction tools and new technologies. India’s infrastructure construction activities are growing at a fast pace since the last few years. To keep pace with the speed and integrating the complexities involved, projects are to be elevated to digital integration mode to achieve grater success. This is possible by switching over to technologien adopted around the world with digitisation. NIRMAANA 2024 conference aims to address these requirements by the industry”.
The invited speakers are well-known names from the industry sharing their vast experience with the attendees. It would not be an overstatement to say NIRMAANA 2034 in a one-of-a-kind opportunity to rub shoulders with the who’s who of the diptal world of construction industry, industry. It is an opportunity for practitioners and academicians keen to ask questions and find answers to challenges that they encounter time and again
Prof TG Sitaram – Chairman, All India Council for Technical Education( AICTE), New Delhi, will be the Chief Guest and also deliver the keynote address,
