ECMAS’s innovative approach to high-rise construction in India

The surge in population, rapid urbanisation, limited ground space, and escalating real estate costs have spurred the development of gated communities featuring high-rise structures, including super-tall constructions.

The demand for taller, superior, and more intricate buildings is on the rise in both commercial and residential sectors. As constructions delve deeper to accommodate the growing number of vehicles, the popularity of high-rise buildings has surged, necessitating top-tier construction materials such as high-performance concrete, self-compacting concrete, precast elements, and steel structures. Companies are adopting advanced construction methods to meet criteria related to sustainability, durability, stability, and maintenance. This trend creates opportunities for manufacturers of construction materials and chemicals to innovate and deliver measurable outcomes.
