02 Apr 2021 CW Team

Immense opportunities for growth will emerge in 2021 for the EPC industry globally and India, predicts AK Tyagi, Chairman & Managing Director of one of the leading homegrown players in project engineering and turnkey contracting, Nuberg Engineering Ltd, in an exclusive interview.

In this interview, Tyagi describes the processes in the clean energy EPC project and why hydrogen is receiving special attention as the next-generation clean fuel. As part of its efforts to enhance its offerings in green products manufacturing, the Noida-based company is presently building the country’s first commercial-scale hydrogen purification, compression, storage and dispensing facility for hydrogen fuel cell-based vehicles.

Tyagi says automation is enabling the development of the detailed initial design that is more than 95% fit as the final design, thus, enabling real-world estimation of engineering resources, material, and labour. Such automation, he adds, also helps us to focus on construction execution and related supply chain at an earlier stage to compress timelines and costs.
