Info on latest equipment
I read CW regularly and have been a subscriber for quite some time now. The magazine is quite informative and packs in a lot of information in its pages. I would however, like to see more information and material about the latest equipment available today.

Some inputs on PEBs
I read your article ‘Pre engineered Buildings. Advantage: Time…. and Money’ in the CW December 2009 issue. The following information will help customers understand the real benefits of PEB vis-à-vis conventional construction. The customer needs to understand three basic parameters, cost, time, quality and their individual importance and consequence, in the project. They need to monitor and ensure strict adherence to schedule. Otherwise the purpose of going ahead with PEB will be lost.
Moreover special care is needed during erection of PEBs; else customers could face some perennial problems at a later stage.
Normally almost all PEB vendors assign this responsibility of erection to their authorised erection contractors. These contractors are supposed to adhere to the erection guidelines of the PEB vendors. But the ultimate results depend on the individual skills of the workers and proper supervision.
Unlike catastrophic failure pattern of RCC structures, steel as a ductile material will indicate its yield and allows to take appropriate strengthening measures, prior to it collapses. So at the end would like to communicate that complete awareness about the product (PEB) is essential for both the suppliers, erectors and the customers, for its high end promotion.

I am a final year BE (Civil) student. I request you to please print some information about innovative techniques in concrete, which would help me complete my semester project.

Segregate sections
CW provides a lot of information on the entire construction industry. However, if the magazine had different sections, it would give the information in a more systematic manner. For instance, there could be separate sections on residential construction, the concrete industry, power industry, etc.

Sincere efforts CW and CW Interiors have become a part of my must-go-through routine. Branding is something that I had not given any conscious thought to. I was really fascinated by the diversity of thoughts on the subject covered. Keep it up.Tushar Desai, Architect Info on latest equipmentI read CW regularly and have been a subscriber for quite some time now.
