How does Capacit'e Infraprojects position itself as an 'Engineering Specialist' in construction?

At Capacit'e Infraprojects, we don't see ourselves as a construction company, but an 'Engineering Specialist' instead.

We believe in professionals who help: build SAFER;  build QUICKER; build STRONGER and  build TALLER.

“There is really no limit to how high you can rise when you start delivering value to your customers.”

From a contractor's perspective, what are the major challenges faced in the construction of skyscrapers?

Complex construction projects, particularly high-rises and super high-rises involve a lot of capabilities to ensure completion of work with speed and quality. Over the years, we continued to build our focus on specialising in high-rise and super high-rise structures to build a niche within the industry segment. Our innovative solutions, equipment and team at ground ensure we complete the project on time as well as build super structures that become icons of tomorrow. We break away from the conventional formwork system, introducing the advanced version where equipped vertical composite panel system for columns and horizontal composite panel system for slabs is used. Further, the crane enabled composite table formwork, aluminium panel formwork and an automatic climbing formwork ensure ease and efficiency of operations. Our in-house Formwork & Construction Methods department allocates the projects and with regular supervision ensures timely completion of each project. Quality of project holds no relevance unless met with the highest safety standards.

We have procured Peripheral Hydraulic Safety Screen from Pioneer Formwork solution providers like DOKA and ULMA to strengthen safety of our workmen on elevated sites.

Here's a list of formworks used for modern constructions:

• Aluminium formwork from Mivan (for Monolithic Casting) including QD-panel system for flat slab construction
• Modular panel system formwork (for vertical elements like column, shear wall, core, lift) from RMD, DOKA, ALSINA
• Modular deck panel system formwork (for flat slab) from RMD, DOKA, Techno-craft
• Prop table formwork (for flat slab) from RMD
• Automatic climbing systems (for building core) from DOKA

How do you look at the demand trend for high-rise and super high-rise buildings?

India is one of the fastest growing developing countries of the world. For the next 20-30 years, we have to build major urban infrastructure supported by real estate development.

Mostly in all the Tier 1 cities, the option would be to go taller due to land scarcity and high-rises are synonymous to luxury living for the urban population.

One more pertinent reason is that high-rises occupy lesser ground area hence constructing more high-rises will give respective municipal corporations larger area for increasing the green footprints.

Hence, there would always be demand for high-rises and super high-rises. At Capacit'e, we realise the importance of perseverance and the need to adapt with this ever-increasing demand for ever-evolving industry. We are consistently aligning ourselves with new-age requirements, identifying market trends and imbibing advanced technology to thrive and prosper. With a renewed vigour, we are now poised to resiliently tide above crisis and steer the organisation in a new direction to become better than before.

Technology plays key role in high-rise building construction. What kind of advanced equipment and smart solutions are being used in your projects for safer, quicker, stronger and taller construction?

Capacit'e is a leading construction company, operating in segments based on its domain expertise. We stand out among the crowd through our innovative solutions and engineering knowhow, driving the business growth and creating value for stakeholders.

We significantly invest in strengthening our capabilities through addition of innovative solutions and equipment. These not only fortify our deliverables to our customers in terms of quality, but also add value to our operational excellence. Among the many reasons of our excellent financial prudence and unrivalled quality are our in-house assets of equipment and solutions. Our sustained investments in building our operating assets ensure the control of project execution remains within our hands with a faster turnaround time (TAT). As we redefine the skylines of our nation, we understand high-rise and super high-rise structures require modern equipment and technologies to ensure safety and perfection in the project.

What are your major steps towards the concept of green buildings?

At Capacit'e, we are committed to the ESG fundamentals and support the cause of sustainable development. We are playing a significant role in conserving water and electricity at our project sites.

We are producing less waste during construction and also do a lot of recycling of waste concrete and steel. Our sites have different collections for wet and dry waste. We are using solar power for common area lighting and site illumination.

But overall implementation of the green building concept is an attribute of the design and should be driven by the developer/client. Many developers are moving towards implementation of green building norms across their project sites.

As part of this construction built environment which contributes to almost 45% of the green gas emissions in the atmosphere - there's an urgent need to get the act together and ensure more sustainable developments.

How do you look at the growth opportunities and what are your growth plans?

We aim to be a solution-driven company with a strong focus on high & super high-rise buildings that have high degree of complexity in construction. We constantly re-think and rebuild, to become agile and resilient ensuring long-term sustainable growth. With the aim to achieve operational excellence, we maximise existing assets and human resources. We understand, manage and mitigate risk in a systematic manner and capture on rising opportunity in F&B sector with government, private corporates, quasi government agencies and real estate developers.
