Need of Resource Efficiency

Ours is a resource intensive department.

All works undertaken by PWD use natural resources. Some major natural resources being used by our department are:

Bitumen

Stone Metal

Bricks

Sand

SoilSlide3

Do we need to Innovate?

We are way behind our counter parts in rest of the world, rather rest of INDIASlide4

Innovation CellA Proposal

To keep pace with technical advancements taking place in construction industry we need to continuously upgrade our

knowledge.

We need to have an innovation cell that should have liaison with the agencies like CRRI, IRC, TERI, PSCST etc.

The cell should keep a watch on the new technologies coming

up in

the construction industry and assess their suitability to be introduced in Government

Sector.

The cell should be responsible to revise the CSR and Specifications for the newly introduced items and techniques

.Slide5

Environment SafeguardsNeed of the hour

We are the custodians of the Environment and we have a responsibility to safeguard it for future generations.

We need to adopt such techniques in construction which are Resource Efficient, Environment

F

riendly or at least are not harmful to it.

Research is taking place all over the World to find out ways to reduce negative impacts due to human activitySlide6

This Awareness Workshop is a step in that Direction- An Initiative taken by PWDSlide7

CLAY BRICKS: HISTORYSlide8

Clay Bricks are being used since long back.Bricks have gone through numerous changes in terms of their sizes, shapes, textures, manufacturing processes and materials.

From un-burnt clay bricks to Perforated Bricks to Hollow Clay Blocks.

From very small sized Nanak-

shahi

bricks to big blocks.

Bricks made of Fly ashSlide9

Need to Introduce Perforated Clay Bricks

and Fly ash Bricks

Q

uality

of conventional bricks manufactured with manual molding process has been deteriorating day by

day.

The size, shape, strength and texture are not

uniform.

Brick

Kiln industry is facing huge

labour

problems and also these bricks consume more fuel. Slide10

Perforated Clay Bricks and Fly ash Bricks are more resource efficient.

There is better control of size, shape and strength because of the mechanical production.

Saving of Clay and fuel, which are in shortage.

Consumption of cement mortar for joints is less.

Consumption of cement plaster is less.

Fly ash generated at thermals is utilized.

Need to Introduce Perforated Clay Bricks

and Fly ash BricksSlide11

Introduction of Perforated Bricks in CSR

As a first step towards introducing innovative techniques Perforated Bricks and Fly ash Bricks have been introduced in Common Schedule of Rates through A&C Slip no. 11 (Annexure X3)Slide12
