Name of the Expo:
Innovative World of Concrete ICI-IWC 2013
Date: October 23 -
26, 2013
Venue: Hitex / NAC, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India
India is currently
facing the uphill task of building & modernising her infrastructure
involving planning and construction of highways, expressways, bridges,
airports, ports, metro and mono rails, power projects, irrigation facilities,
etc.
Beginning with the
National Highway Development Program involving construction of Golden
Quadrilateral and East - West - North - South Corridors, huge expenditure is
being incurred on building physical infrastructure in India.
During the 11 th Five
Year Plan (2007 - 12) a staggering sum of US $ 514 billion (Rs. 20,50,150
crores) was spent on 10 sectors of infrastructure.
The Government of
India (GOI) is now planning to double this investment in the 12 th Five Year
Plan (2013- 2018) by infusing a massive investment of around US $ 1024 billion.
Since concrete has
been recognised as one of the essential components of infrastructure
development in India it will be essential to evolve & adopt innovative
solutions for planning and execution of concrete infrastructures, especially
when huge expenditure is planned in the immediate future.
Although there are a
few examples of adaptation of certain recent advances in the sphere of concrete
technology such as highstrength and high-performance concrete,
Considering the
crucial importance of infrastructure development for the Indian economy, the
Indian Concrete Institute (ICI) has decided that the main theme of the
Innovative World of Concrete (IWC) being held in Hyderabad on 23 to 26 October
2013 will be "Innovations in Concrete for Meeting Infrastructure Challenge
To create awareness
amongst the construction engineers about modern concrete construction
practices, an International Seminar and Exhibition on ‘Modernization of
Concrete Practices – ISEMCC-82’ was jointly organized by the Structural
Engineering Research Centre and Anna University during 21 to 27, January, 1982
in Chennai. It generated great enthusiasm among the participants and a
resolution was adopted at the conclusion of ISEMCC - 82 to form the “Indian
concrete Institute.”
The Institute was
registered as a society on 7th September, 1982 with headquarters in Chennai and
has been in service to the industry and the professionals, since then, with the
following objectives.
** To promote growth of concrete
construction and its sub-specializations.
** To disseminate information and to
arrange to train personnel for the needs of changing concepts in the
technology.
**
To collaborate with national and international agencies in creating better
understanding of concrete construction technology.
**
To indentify R & D problems of practical relevance to concrete
construction technology.
** To institute and distribute awards for
outstanding achievements in concrete construction technology.
** To arrange periodical seminars and
exhibitions on the subject and
** To arrange annual lecture series on
selected topics of relevance to concrete constructions.
