Precast concrete parts for the emerging India
Precast India Infrastructures has opened a new production plant and extended its product range to include solid walls, solid floors and floor
slabs for the Indian residential and industrial building sector. The Indian construction company Precast India Infrastructures Pvt Ltd. has
responded to the high demand from the local construction industry for solid walls, solid floors and floor slabs by opening a new production
plant. The state-of-the-art pallet circulation system in the city of Pune in Western India is designed for an hourly production capacity of up to
120 m2 precast concrete parts. The production technology was supplied by the plant engineering specialist Vollert Anlagenbau from Germany.
The plant has been planned to cater for further expansion at a later date, with the addition of further product lines such as double walls.
slabs with Echo slipformer technology are produced, as well as prestressed and precast beams and rafters, stairs, compound walls,
paving blocks and kerb stones. Due to the strong growth in the residential and industrial building sector, especially in the Indian conurbations around Mumbai and New Delhi and the increasing use of
precast concrete elements, they decided to enter an additional business sector. The new production plant, initially to produce solid
walls, solid floors and floor slabs, was based from the start on especially flexible production capacity, with the facility for future expansion of the product ranges to include double walls or precast elements with core insulation.

Vollert Anlagenbau of Weinsberg/Germany, under technical project management of Dipl.-Ing. Jürgen Hesselbarth, created 3D planning models for a variety of scenarios. These were presented during
project meetings to allow selection of the best technical and profitable concept for the plant. The plant design included the drawings
for the foundations and pits for the individual processing machines
and the pallet transport system. In order to match the plant technology optimally to local conditions, and at the same time reduce the
transport costs and customs charges, it was decided to make some
