Advanced Material Handling for tall buildings

17 Apr 2023 CW Team

According to Pratik Kataria, Director, Sainath Developers The House of Kataria, his teams deploy tower cranes, elevators and material hoists to move men and materials vertically, and conveyor belts to move materials horizontally. With this equipment, materials can be moved to high altitudes swiftly and securely.

“We choose from tower cranes (free-standing/anchored, floor climbing, self-dismantling), passenger/material hoists, scissor lifts, service lifts, man lifts, jump forms for core walls, curve hoists, rope suspending platforms and concrete pumps,” says K Satyanarayana, Managing Director, Starworth Infrastructure and Construction Limited (SICL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Puravankara Ltd. “Our choice of equipment depends on the specific needs of the project, implying the type of building, its height, the cost viability and duration of the project. We also consider the safety requirements, including visibility of operations by the operator, automation, and safety locking limits.”

“We use tower cranes, hoists, scissor lifts, high-rise table lifting systems and construction lifts to handle materials when we construct tall buildings, depending on the specific needs of the project,” adds Anoop Kumar Bhargava, CEO & Director, Empire Centrum.

“To lift and shift construction materials like reinforcement and concrete at higher levels, we use tower cranes (jumping crane, hammerhead crane, self-climbing mast type, monkey crane, luffing), concrete pumps and concrete pipe lines, boom placers, man material hoists, stirrup making machines, binding wire tying machines, window cradles, construction suspended cradles and screens,” says Madan Mistry, Head - EPC, Omkar Realtors & Developers...

Smart Roads, Smarter India

India’s infrastructure boom is not only about laying more kilometres of highways – it’s about building them smarter, safer and more sustainably. From drones mapping fragile Himalayan slopes to 3D machine-controlled graders reducing human error, technology is steadily reshaping the way projects are planned and executed. Yet, the journey towards digitisation remains complex, demanding not just capital but also coordination, training and vision.Until recently, engineers largely depended on Survey of India toposheets and traditional survey methods like total stations or DGPS to prepare detai..

What Does DCPR 2034 Mean?

The Maharashtra government has eased approval norms for high-rise buildings under DCPR 2034, enabling the municipal commissioner to sanction projects up to 180 m on large plots. This change is expected to streamline approvals, reduce procedural delays and accelerate redevelopment, drawing reactions from developers, planners and industry experts about its implications for Mumbai’s vertical growth.Under the revised DCPR 2034 rules, buildings on plots of 2,000 sq m or more can now be approved up to 180 m by the municipal commissioner, provided structural and geotechnical reports are certified b..
