Nest-In's Prefab Technology: The Beacon of a Sustainable Future in Construction
As India progresses towards a developed future, countless innovations propel that journey forward with advanced technologies and modernised techniques. The infrastructure aspect has seen accelerated growth with the introduction of prefab technologies.
Where traditional RCC construction methods used to reign, now emerging prefab technology has cemented its footing. RCC construction faces the hindrance of adverse weather, as the entire construction process takes place on-site. Material quality may not always be superior, and copious amounts of precious natural resources are used to make the raw materials; for example, large volumes of water are required to dry and cure cement. Additionally, there is heavy dependency on a large labour force and transportation infrastructure. Thus, while RCC structures are strong and stable, their construction process is laborious, unsustainable, and slow.
Prefab construction processes are 2x faster and greener than RCC methods.
Nest-In from the house of Tata Steel provides a range of prefabricated construction solutions in India. In this blog, let’s discuss the merits of prefab construction over RCC construction in India, and how Nest-In is at the forefront of a future in sustainable construction
Innovative, Cutting-Edge, and Contemporary Prefab Solutions
India has set ambitious targets for reducing its carbon emissions in the Paris Agreement:
- To achieve 45% reduction in emission intensity by 2030
- To achieve net-zero emissions by 2070
17% of our country’s greenhouse gas contribution comes from the construction sector alone. If India is aiming to achieve its carbon targets within the stipulated timelines, it is essential to explore less energy-intensive construction methods that help control carbon emissions.
This is where Nest-In's LGSF construction solutions become crucial. Nest-In's prefab construction technology offers six key benefits to the construction industry:
- Accelerated construction speeds (at least 2x faster than RCC construction)
- Modernised construction solutions using innovative technology
- Hassle-free and turnkey solutions for businesses, governments, and individuals
- High-quality light gauge steel frames from the trust of Tata Steel
- 100% customised prefab structures for each customer’s need
- Easy to install in tough and remote locations across India
Benefits of LGSF Construction over RCC Construction
RCC has been the most reliable and popular choice for India’s construction industry for decades. However, the construction needs of today’s population need modern and innovative solutions. India now requires rapid and reliable construction technologies that stand the test of time, such as Nest-In’s LGSF structures.
Studies say that prefab structures have the capacity to reduce:
- Embodied carbon emissions by approximately 15%
- Operational carbon emissions by about 3.2%
Here's a snapshot of the benefits of LGSF construction over traditional RCC construction methods:
Speed of Construction
Nest-In’s LGSF buildings are constructed 2x faster than RCC buildings, because the prefab components are made to precision in a factory-controlled environment and are transported to the site for final assembly. This way, there is no delay in the construction process due to factors like adverse weather, and there is reduced dependency on transportation, heavy machinery, and a large labour force.
Sustainability
Nest-In’s prefab structures are more environmentally sustainable for many reasons. The prefab construction process uses 48% less fresh water as the above-ground structure is entirely dry, and water is only used to create the foundation. 65% less material sources are used, and overall, there is 53% less greenhouse gas impact from the construction process. Additionally, the steel used in the LGSF buildings can be recycled and reused at the end of the product lifecycle.
