ELIGIBILITY FOR ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE PRAGATI TOWERS HIGH QUALITY INTERIORS 11. ELIGIBILITY FOR ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE PRAGATI TOWERS 6. SAFETY All Casting activities of Pragati Towers were carried out at ground level 12. ELIGIBILITY FOR ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE PRAGATI TOWERS 7.SUSTAINABILITY Pragati Towers demonstrated Elimination of activities like brickwork, block work, plastering etc at site. Savings in Sand, labour, formwork material, scaffolding material such as wood, timber, plywood etc. Reduction in wastage of materials as casting processes are carried out in stringent quality controlled factory environment. Savings of construction material will not only result in savings of our construction materials but also natural resources from which these materials are derived. 13. ELIGIBILITY FOR ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE PRAGATI TOWERS 8.ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS Frequent Transportation of construction materials in conventional construction creates congestion in the city and nuisance to the public.ADVANTAGES: Transportation of all precast elements at Pragati site was done during night / off peak hours. Relief to public as traffic congestion was reduced in jam-packed area of South Mumbai (Parel). Reduction in nuisances to nearby population like dust, noise, air pollution. Relief to Motorist. 14. ELIGIBILITY FOR INNOVATIVENESS IN CONSTRUCTION PRAGATI TOWERS 1.TECHNOLOGY Potential offered by precast technology was limited to infrastructure projects such as airports, stadiums, bridges, dome roofs, metro projects etc. Pragati towers demonstrated technical feasibility of using Precast Technology for 24 storeyed towers & paved the way of using Precast Technology in Indian Residential Building Construction.First time in India, 24 storied residential building structures are constructed by using Precast TechnologyKANTEERAVA STADIUMCHENNAI METRO RAILINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSPUTTAPARTHY 15. ELIGIBILITY FOR INNOVATIVENESS IN CONSTRUCTION PRAGATI TOWERS 2.DESIGN G+23 Storey Total Precast System in Seismic Zone-3, Mumbai. Designed in conformance to all I.S. codal requirements. Structural connections designed to comply with design codes. Innovative combination of Modular units and Large Panel system to suit the construction needs of the project.

ELIGIBILITY FOR INNOVATIVENESS IN CONSTRUCTION PRAGATI TOWERS 5.SPEED & SAFETY Reduction in number of construction activities & Labour requirement helped in achieving higher speed of construction. Precast Staircases and Slabs offered rapid installation and early safe access to subsequent floors. Zero accidents at Pragati Towers demonstrates the safety standards. 20. ELIGIBILITY FOR OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE OF PROJECT PRAGATI TOWERS 1.RECORD ERECTION TIME Superstructure (1st Floor to 23rd Floor) of Tower A,B & C completed in a record time of 12 months. Planned erection = 3 Dwelling Units/day Peak erection achieved at Pragati Towers = 10 Dwelling Units/day Precast Technology @ Pragati Towers has addressed the DEMAND & SUPPLY issue faced by our construction industry. Speedy completion reduced time for construction and thereby reducing costs associated with the lifecycle of the project.EXECUTION OF LOGISTIC PLANNING IN CONGESTED AREASNOISE FREE ERECTION EVEN DURING NIGHT 21. ELIGIBILITY FOR OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE OF PROJECT PRAGATI TOWERS 2.REDUCTION IN NUMBER OF ACTIVITIES AT SITE Elimination of activities like block work, plastering & brickwork reduced the turn around time of the project.3.LESS LABOUR INTENSIVE Labour requirement at Pragati site was found to be 30% lesser when compared to a similar conventional construction project (similar magnitude).4.MOULDS Battery Moulds Specialized for high speed ofproduction of Precast Wall Panels without offsets Flat Bed Moulds Specialized moulds for Precast Wall Panels with offsets.
