Mahindra Lifespace Developers Limited (MLDL), the real estate and infrastructure development arm of the Mahindra Group, announced the adoption of multiple new technologies for speedier construction, and improved cost and quality management. These pioneering technologies herald a new approach to construction and are expected to fast-track the adoption of new materials and techniques in Indian real estate. Mahindra Lifespaces hosted a live demonstration of these technologies at its project ‘Mahindra Happinest� in Palghar (Mumbai Metropolitan Region) recently.
‘Flat Pack-Snap Lock� Stay-in -Place Formwork - one of the six technologies approved by Global Housing Technology Challenge - India (GHTC-India), MoHUA, Government of India, as part of ‘Housing for All� is being adopted in the project. The benefits of the technology are rapid construction, improved wall finishes, precision engineering and design flexibility. It helps to reduce the consumption of natural resources like water, sand and embodied carbon. This also helps to protect the fertile layer of earth and the increases the scope to use alternative building materials such as plastic waste, glass fibers and electronic waste, etc.
Holographic Computing is the second technology being adopted at the project which helps in faster construction. It is a cloud-based, real-time, multi-stakeholder collaboration across the design-to-development value chain
Arvind Subramanian, MD & CEO, Mahindra Lifespace Developers said, “The adoption of new technologies in our construction process is integral to our goal of bridging the innovation gap in the real estate development cycle, while continuously enhancing quality standards and processes. Embedding new digital tools and methods into the construction value chain will enable us to deliver projects faster, with greater value for our customers; and will also help strengthen transparency and collaboration across stakeholder groups.�
The on-site presentation at Mahindra Happinest, Palghar also included a live demo of ‘Rebar Automation� (robotics in construction), which has the potential to significantly reduce construction timelines. The event was attended by dignitaries representing the Indian real estate industry and other allied sectors.
Karthik Kodali, Founder & MD, Kalzen Realty said, “We are delighted to collaborate with Mahindra Lifespaces to introduce ‘Stay-in-Place Formwork� technology in the Indian real estate sector. Our solution unifies the complete construction life cycle on a real-time digital platform that enables synergy between stakeholders, trades and processes. The adoption of Kalzen’s solution by one of India’s most trusted real estate brands will impact the construction industry positively.�
