Lessons for flood

Recent flood in Sangli and Kolhapoor is leading to disastrous outcomes in terms of living things and wealth . We can not challenge the power of mother earth , but we can learn from our mistakes and can take precautionary measures to avoid the possible damages . Here are the basic 5 things in terms of personal property development or purchase to consider to avoid damages in case there is a floor like situation  : 

1: Check the Blue line and Red line If the property you are looking to develop or purchase false within 50 to 100 m from the river or any water body always check the level of Blue line and red line marked by the Irrigation department of Govt. of Maharashtra. You can easily get the maps from irrigation departments website. 

2 . No Construction beyond blue line :   Blue line is the average level of flood within past 25 years . This is a restricted zone . You can not construct or undertake any type of construction beyond blue line . However this space can be used as playground , gardens or seasonal farming . Do not purchase any bungalow plot , flat if the building is beyond blue line. 

3 : Restricted construction between red line and blue line. Red line is the average level of high flood within past 100 years .This is the highest level of water level achieved during high flood . This is a restricted zone of development . If you are planning to purchase a property which false between red line and blue line , the ground floor of the property should be above the level of red line. You should avoid basements in this zone. 

4: Always take a plinth Plinth is a necessary part of any construction .  Always take a plinth level of 1'6" to 2 ' above existing ground level irrespective of any zone . 

5. Always consult an Architect and structural engineer : 

If you are planning to develop a property which is beyond red line, consult as Architect , he or she can help you to survey the water levels and finalize the floor level. Normal footings and generally avoided near river beds , instead of directly dealing with a local civil contractor it is better to hire a structural engineer who can study the existing soil conditions and design a suitable footings and structure above for you. 

Fast Dry wall Construction

In India , Dry wall construction Practice is taking shape ,  though it is limited to internal spaces  , people prefer dry walls because it increases the construction speed and carpet area of the room .

Instead of 6" thick brickwork , which becomes 9" after both side plaster , we can use a 3" dry wall , which can take care of conducting or concealed plumbing also.

These Dry wall are equally fire resistant , sound proof  to conventional brickwork  but lighter in weight .  best part is we can reuse these walls if installed and uninstalled carefully. 

Each panel width is 600 mm , and height varies from 1800mm to 3000mm . We can choose any panel height to reduce the wastage . 

Bottom and Top of the panels are fixed to floor and ceiling with aluminium channels . If to be used for the floor or roof , a regular support @ 600 mm centre to centre is needed. We can use these panels for slopping roofs also with MS framing.  

#Aerocon #Drywall #Prefab 

due to these advantages these panels are used for Mezzanine floors , on in Prefab structures or for Boundary walls . 

Rates for 2" or 50mm dry wall starts from Rs.135/- per sq.ft.

Rates for 3" or 75mm dry wall starts from Rs.155/- per sq.ft.

 

Assocham Summits Infrastructure Growth Roadmap to Finance Minister

Domestic infrastructure companies should be allowed to list in overseas capital markets through direct equity shares in a bit to spur growth, industry body Assocham has suggested to the government. “Listed and unlisted domestic infrastructure companies be allowed to list in overseas capital markets through direct equity shares as companies once listed abroad have better access to low cost funds and simultaneously they may also be allowed to set up an entity abroad to raise equity and invest the same in India, “it said in a letter to Finance Minister.

             Also, the transfer of holding to such an overseas entity from an Indian entity should be permitted at erstwhile book value, prevalent till March 31, 2010 as infrastructure projects are long-term and require high gestation, it said. Assocham president, Rajkumar Dhoot said, “Lack of availability of sufficient long term debt, dearth of equity funds, withdrawal of tax sops and absence of quick decision making are the key reasons responsible for a sluggish infrastructure growth in India.”

            Advocating the need for long term bank finance availability for the sector, the industry body has suggested for mandatory increasing the bank lending by way of incentives.  “Considering the priority status to the infra sector, a certain percentage of exposure should be made mandatory for all the banks just on the lines of export financing” it said.  “Besides, obligatory targets should also be imposed upon private sector banks and foreign banks operating in India as currently, major portion of infrastructure lending is contributed by public sector banks”.

            It suggested that banks may be permitted to issue long-term, tax free bonds for the purpose of lending to infrastructure sector at a lower rate of interest.  Provisions may also the made by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to provide interest subsidies to the banks for their exposure in this sector, it said.  Incentives doled out to the infrastructure entrepreneurs earlier, should be restored and current regulations be amended, it assed.
