Concrete is used more than anything else for building on Earth. Only water is used more. But making cement the usual way lets out about 0.9 tons of CO₂ for each ton of cement. This is almost 8% of the…
Ever looked at a crack spreading across your driveway after the rains and thought, “It’d be great if this thing could fix itself before I have to?” You’re not alone — every engineer has thought that at some point. The…
Imagine a construction project where costly rework is virtually eliminated, timelines are met with precision, and every stakeholder, from the architect to the facility manager, works in perfect harmony. This isn’t a far-off dream; it’s the reality made possible by…
In July 2025, India reached a historic milestone in sustainable infrastructure with the first-ever field trial of plastic geocells—technical textiles made from end-of-life mixed plastics. The initiative, driven by CSIR-Central Road Research Institute (CRRI) and BPCL, and supported by NHAI,…
In urban areas, one of the most overlooked side effects of rapid development is stormwater runoff. As cities grow, natural ground surfaces are replaced by concrete, asphalt, and rooftops—leaving little room for rainwater to soak into the soil. This can…
India’s construction equipment industry isn’t just growing – it’s evolving at a pace and scale that sets it apart on a global scale. While the numbers tell an impressive story – the real excitement lies in the underlying changes: such as, the…
As the construction industry moves towards more eco-conscious practices, one material is gaining recognition for its sustainability and performance—hempcrete. Made from a mix of hemp hurds (the woody core of the hemp plant), lime, and water, this bio-composite is reshaping…
India’s construction industry is growing at an unprecedented pace—while it builds our future, it’s also silently contributing to one of the biggest environmental crises: construction and demolition waste. According to the CPCB (Central Pollution Control Board), India produces over 150…
