M
inistry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), Government of India, is currently
implementing Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana- Urban (PMAY-U) with an objective to provide
all weather pucca houses to all eligible beneficiaries in urban areas. Launched in June 2015,
PMAY-U is one of the largest public housing programs in the world, with a goal of providing homes
to over 11.2 million urban families by 2022 when the nation completes 75 years of its Independence.
Further, due to rapid urbanization, massive construction activities are undergoing and planned in all
the States/UTs for creating affordable housing with allied infrastructures.
Traditionally, dwelling units in the country are constructed using conventional technology. With the
massive construction requirement & taking into consideration the important factors such as fast
depleting natural resources, achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) & international
commitments to reduce carbon footprints , there is urgent need to find substitute for energy intensive
building materials such as burnt clay bricks, and minimize the use of scarce natural materials such
as river sand, water, timber etc. Globally, there has been technological advancement in the area of
building materials and fast track prefabricated/pre-engineered construction practices. The use of
alternate technologies in our country is in a limited extent so far.
In the PRAGATI1 meeting held on 12th July 2017, Hon’ble Prime Minister emphasized and exhorted the
States/UTs to accelerate adoption of innovative and alternative construction technologies to improve
the pace and quality of work under PMAY-U and address the challenges of rapid urban growth and
its attendant requirements. Construction of houses at the scale of PMAY (U) offers an opportunity
for inviting alternative technologies from both within the country and across the globe, which may
trigger a major transition through introduction of cutting-edge building materials, technologies and
processes.
In the light of above, MoHUA initiated Global Housing Technology Challenge India (GHTC-India) in
January, 2019 which aimed to identify and mainstream globally best available proven construction
technologies that are sustainable, green and disaster resilient through a challenge process which will
bring a paradigm shift in construction practices for affordable housing.
Construction Technology India (CTI), 2019, the 1st Biennial Expo-cum-Conference was organized on
02-03 March 2019 for providing a platform for exhibition, assessment and promotion of Innovative
Construction Technologies from across the globe. Both Indian and International Technology Providers/
Companies participated in this challenge process.

PRAGATI (Pro-Active Governance And Timely Implementation) is a multi-purpose and multi-modal platform chaired by
Hon’ble Prime Minister, aimed at addressing common man’s grievances, and simultaneously monitoring and reviewing
important programmes and projects of the Government of India as well as projects flagged by State Governments.
During CTI, 54 technologies were shortlisted by a Technical Evaluation Committee (TEC) set up by
MoHUA. These technologies have been grouped into six broad categories namely (i) Precast Concrete
Construction System - 3D Precast volumetric, (ii) Precast Concrete Construction System - Precast
components assembled at site, (iii) Light Gauge Steel Structural System & Pre-engineered Steel Structural
System, (iv) Prefabricated Sandwich Panel System, (v) Monolithic Concrete Construction, and (vi) Stay in
Place Formwork System.
In order to showcase these technologies, six Light House Projects (LHP) consisting of about 1,000
houses each, with allied infrastructure facilities are being implemented with six different technologies
from above six groups at Indore (Madhya Pradesh); Rajkot (Gujarat); Chennai (Tamil Nadu); Ranchi
(Jharkhand); Agartala (Tripura) and; Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh). The LHPs will demonstrate and deliver
ready to live mass housing which are fast, of high quality and durability, sustainable and economical
With large scale uses, as compared to conventional brick and mortar construction. These projects shall
serve as live laboratories for all stakeholders including Research & Development leading to the successful
transfer & replication of technologies.
All the 54 shortlisted technologies and the associated Technology Providers are important for bringing
paradigm shift in construction practices in the country. This Compendium provides concise information
of the 54 technologies, its application in real projects in India and abroad and also provides contact
details of technology providers.
The details of 54 innovative technologies included in the Compendium will provide synoptic view of
these technologies which will be helpful to policy makers, public & private construction agencies and
other concerned stakeholders for its adoption in their future housing projects. I urge prospective users

D Prefabricated Sandwich Panel
System
64
Brief about Technology
Sandwich panel systems are factory made wall panels replacing conventional brick & mortar walling
construction and can be used as non-load bearing as well as load-bearing applications. The two broad
sub categories of sandwich panels have been considered;
a) The panels made of inner & outer boards (cement/fibre/MGO) with infill core of lightweight con-
crete / patented / proprietary materials etc.
The panels made of inner & outer boards (cement/fibre/MGO) with infill core of lightweight concrete
/ patented / proprietary materials are both load bearing & non load bearing categories. When used
as infill (non load bearing walls), Steel / RCC frames may be used.
The design of RCC/Steel frame, walling component & slab shall be based on structural & functional
requirements of the building in accordance with relevant Indian Standards/ National Building Code.
The foundation shall be designed as per loading condition & bearing capacity of the soil.
Special features of the Technology/ System
• The system is dry walling system, brings speed in construction, water conservation (no use of
water for curing of walling components at site). The sandwich panels generally have light weight
material as core material, which brings resource efficiency, better thermal insulation, acoustics &
energy efficiency
• Being light in weight results in lower dead load of building & foundation size
• Higher stories can be constructed using structural frames
Essential Requirements of the Technology/System
• The joints of panels with each other need to be perfectly locked by materials ( cement, glue,
dowel bars, polymer modified mortar etc. )& mechanism (leveling of panels etc.) prescribed by
Panel manufacturer
• Cutting/chiseling of panels for openings such as doors, windows, service conduits etc. requires
little training & through tools/machines prescribed by Panel manufacturer
• The panels if used as floors/ roofs, shall require screeding concrete of minimum 35 mm thickness
with nominal reinforcement/ GI wire mesh for monolithic action to avoid leakage through panel
joints
b) The other category is based on reinforced Expanded Polystyrene Core Panel System (EPS). These
reinforced EPS panels as walling, slab, staircase components are finished on site by spraying short-
crete on both sides.
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Core Panel System is based on factory made panels, consisting of self
extinguishing expanded polystyrene sheet with minimum density of 15 Kg/m3, thickness not less
than 60 mm, sandwiched between two engineered sheet of welded wire fabric mesh, made of high
strength galvanized wire of 2.5 mm to 3 mm dia. The panels are finished at site using shortcrete.
The design of EPS wall & slab panels shall be based on structural & functional requirements of the
building in accordance with relevant Indian Standards/ National Building Code. The foundation shall
be designed as per loading condition & bearing capacity of the soil.
Special features of the Technology/System
• The panels have high load carrying capacity. The residential buildings upto G+3 configuration can
be designed as load bearing structure
• The panels being light weight, helps in easy installation, transportation & reduction in construc-
tion time
• The EPS core has high thermal & acoustics efficiency, which can further be customized to deliver
specific thermal insulation requirements
• Buildings made using panels are lightweight, but are at the same time rigid due to two sheets of
reinforced plaster that interact to create an enveloping ‘shell’ of the whole structure. This aspect
makes the building seismic & wind resistant
• Building with any geometric shape/complex architectural drawings can be constructed
Essential Requirements of the Technology/System
• As the wires used are thin, it must conform to the specification i.e. minimum tensile strength of
600 N/mm2 & minimum galvanizing/ zinc coating of 60 gsm
• The Shotcrete should be done preferably in two layers, first layer must be done pneumatically by
trained persons
• EPS must be of fire resistant grade 65
