Planning of Residential Township with Prefabricated System at Ambivali, Kalyan

Abstract

India is one of the fastest, emerging and developing country in the world. The development of the construction sector is rapid with the commencement of new construction technology. The primary aspects of construction management of any project are time, cost and quality; in addition to this the important factor of prefabricated technology includes construction waste reduction. However, in India conventional method takes more time and energy for planning and designing; whereas prefabrication is a new technology which is more convenient, environmental friendly and effective. Prefabrication is a modern approach of assembling components of structure in factory and transported assembly to construction site where the structure is to be erected. Prefabricated Construction (PFC) plays a significant role as it has the potential to cater the increased demand as well as to resolve the current problems in the construction industry like poor productivity, rising cost of materials, shortage of skilled labors and safety risks. Therefore, utilization is planned for prefabricated materials and components for master plan of proposed township at Ambivali in Kalyan taluka, Thane district of Maharashtra state. Difficulties may occur while application and execution- enhancing people attention towards adopting new techniques, difficulty in transportation of components, methods of installation and assembly, location of casting yard. Along with providing solution for difficulties faced, utilizing vacant area by planning and implementing prefabrication technology has to be done. Township will be proposed using proper guidelines and codal provisions given by town planning department and authority of prefabricated structures for hygienic, healthy and safe place for people.
