My Projects
Redevelopment of Railway Station
The project involves the ₹2,400 crore redevelopment of an existing railway station into a Multi-Modal Transport Hub (MMTH) spread across 125 acres, integrating rail, metro, bus, and private vehicle systems within a single complex. Key features include two 16-storey office towers, a 54,900 sqm passenger concourse, 8.6 lane-km of elevated six-lane roads, and dedicated parcel buildings to streamline cargo movement. Designed for accessibility, sustainability, and efficient land use, the hub will expand passenger handling capacity from 1.2 lakh to 3.2 lakh daily, with completion targeted by 2027. The project combines modern infrastructure with commercial viability and is positioned as a model for future transport development in India.
Redevelopment of Residential Apartments
This studio focuses on Construction Project Formulation and Appraisal through a feasibility study for the Redevelopment of Residential Apartments, initiated due to the structurally dilapidated and unsafe condition of existing buildings that posed risks to residents. The project, estimated at ₹500 crores with a 2-year timeline, aims to deliver safe, modern, and sustainable infrastructure while improving community living standards. Covering a site area of 22,754 square meters, the redevelopment includes 300 Permanent Housing Components (PHC) to rehouse existing residents without displacement, along with 454 Free Sale Components (FSC) and 32 commercial shops to ensure financial viability through developer returns. This balanced approach of social welfare and commercial incentives makes the project both essential and sustainable, serving as a model for future urban redevelopment.
Thermal Insulating Sustainable Concrete
The research investigates the development of sustainable lightweight concrete with improved thermal insulation by incorporating materials such as sintered fly ash, lightweight expanded clay aggregate, micron balls, perlite, and polystyrene. Following IS 10262 guidelines, an M30 grade concrete mix was designed to balance structural strength with thermal efficiency. The study evaluates performance through mechanical tests (compressive and flexural strength, specific gravity, water absorption) and thermal conductivity analysis to measure heat transfer. Field applications, including the use of aluminum bubble sheets and the new concrete, are also explored, emphasizing their potential to enhance building energy efficiency and support eco-friendly construction practices.
Thermal Insulating Concrete
This research focuses on developing thermal insulating concrete by incorporating sintered fly ash aggregates (SFA) and polypropylene fibre into the mix design. Material properties of cement, SFA, and fibres were studied in detail, with emphasis on SFA’s physical characteristics such as color and texture that influence performance. Comparative testing between conventional M30 concrete and the proposed mix examined temperature differences in constructed rooms, demonstrating the material’s insulating potential. The study also highlights applications in prefabricated building components where lightweight structure and thermal resistance are crucial, aiming to advance sustainable, energy-efficient construction without compromising strength.
