To reduce pollution caused by construction activities, the Central Public Works Department (CPWD) is using pre-engineered building (PEB) technology to build 44,000 sqm built up area in three blocks of G+8 storey at KG Marg, and 49,000 sqm built up area in four blocks of G+7 storey at Africa Avenue in the national Capital. The technology being used will also
help to reduce water consumption during the construction.
PEB is the one which is engineered in a factory and assembled on site.
The Construction Material is Pre-planned using advanced Modelling Techniques of BIM(Building Information System), Fabricated at Shop
and Brought to Site in completely knockdown (CKD) condition, assembled and Erected at Site with Nut-bolts reducing Time of construction.
According to the CPWD, the foundation consists of reinforced cement concrete with crystalline admixture and zinc cathodic protection system to reduce porosity of concrete and corrosion of reinforcement bars, thus increasing its durability.
