About CONSTRU India 2011

The infrastructure sector in India has seen impressive

transformation in the last few years. For a speedy

progress of our country, the development of Infrastructure

in Indian cities and multi-modal transport connectivity

are extremely vital. Keeping this in view, CONSTRU India

2011 will focus on six major segments viz. Urban

Infrastructure & Transport, Green & Intelligent Buildings,

Build with Steel, Construction Engineering & Design,

Construction & Building Materials, Electricals in

Building.

CONSTRU India 2011 offers an opportunity to meet top

manufacturers, architects, construction engineers,

contractors, specifiers, consultants and decision–makers

in the infrastructure industry from all over India and

overseas. With a successful 11-year track record, the 2011

edition will feature over 150 exhibitors showcasing latest

technologies, equipments & services in approximately 5000

sq.mtrs. exhibit-display area.

Sectors covered :-

Urban Infrastructure & Transport
Urban transport is a key element of urban infrastructure.

The urban development ministry is examining the proposals

of seven metro rail projects in different parts of the

country, with a total investment of Rs 43,360 crore. Two

pioneering efforts in public transport in India have come

about in Kolkata and Delhi. Delhi Mass Rapid Transit

System (MRTS), a joint venture between Government of India

and Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi, is

being implemented by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation

(DMRC).Road and highways minister Kamal Nath said, "India

will soon get a loan of $ 3billion loan from the World

Bank for building roads in the country". This section will

analyse the scenario, estimating basic investment needs in

Urban Transport & discussing methods of resource

mobilization.

Construction Engineering & Design
Construction Engineering & Design is needed, to ensure a

safe and a stable construction environment, especially as

it relates to rehabilitation projects. Engineering experts

are dedicated to designing and building safe, livable, and

healthy projects for residential and commercial

structures, retaining walls, drainage and soil stability,

road & highways, railways, ports & dams, airports etc.

Build with Steel
According to the Investment Commission of India

investments of around US $ 30 billion in steel are in

pipeline over the next five years. It has been forecast

that the apparent Steel use point in India will increase

by 11.8 percent in 2011. The per capita consumption of

steel in our country is 46 kg, which is much below the

global average of 150 kg. The aim is to increase the

target to 90 kg by 2014. Simultaneously, steel consumption

in the country in the last five years has risen by a

compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.54 percent.

Electricals in Building & Construction
Electricals are an essential element to any successful

building project from conception to day-to-day

operations.. India Offers a huge market , as per estimates

of Building Materials and Technology Promotion Council, an

investment of the order of Euro 1000 billion would be

required in housing/building sector until 2011. Energy

efficient products and eco-friendly solutions are now the

key growth drivers for the Rs 5000 crore lighting industry

.Developments in newer technologies like LED's which have

a lifetime of upto 50,000 hours or approx 25 years,will

open new ways of deploying lighting solutions. The market

potential offered by energy efficient lighting products is

huge. Therefore, the demand for Electricals in Building &

Construction is on a rise

Green & Intelligent Buildings
Green building brings together a vast array of practices

and techniques to reduce and ultimately eliminate the

impacts of buildings on the environment and human health.

There are several key steps in designing sustainable

buildings which reduce loads, optimize systems, and

generate on-site renewable energy. This section is

designed to showcase the progress made, deliberate the

potential opportunities and challenges facing the industry

and to create a roadmap for sustainable growth and

development.

Construction & Building Materials
India faces an increasingly urgent challenge for building

a reliable and efficient infrastructure speedily.

Geosynthetic products like the Geogrids, Geotextiles,

Geonets, Geomembranes offer new, viable geotechnical

engineering materials which helps in significant economic

and social benefits. Better quality of construction and

building materials can play a significant role in

achieving not only speed but also major improvements in

quality and economy in infrastructure construction. This

Section dedicated to the innovative use of materials in

construction and repair.
