Precast technology to be used for OGH new complex
The Telangana State government is determined to ensure that a new complex of Osmania General Hospital (OGH) will be built in one-and-half-year. The government has decided to employ precast technology to speed up construction of the complex. Health Department officials told The Hans India that government opted for precast technology. It would not in any way affect the quality of the construction.

Hyderabad: The Telangana State government is determined to ensure that a new complex of Osmania General Hospital (OGH) will be built in one-and-half-year. The government has decided to employ precast technology to speed up construction of the complex. Health Department officials told The Hans India that government opted for precast technology. It would not in any way affect the quality of the construction.
The decision was been taken after consultations with experts who had already used the technology elsewhere, the officials added. Giving details of the advantages of precast technology, Dr N V Ramana Rao, a structural engineering specialist, said there would not be any disturbance at the construction site as it was in the case of traditional way of construction of buildings.

A better quality of construction can be achieved because the blocks would be precast at the factory, and all that they need was only assemble the same in accordance with the plan. This would not only save time but also cost escalations that normally happens in traditional ways of constructions can be obviated. Besides, using precast technology makes the building maintenance-free to a larger extent, he said.
C A Prasad, director of an engineering consulting company, having experience in designing precast technology, pointed out that with good project management team the life span of the construction would be much more. Shridhar C.N, Head (Design & Marketing), Preca, said due to the hollow property of the hollow core slabs used in the construction would result in noise reduction, more fire resistance and thermal resistance.
This would directly benefit in energy savings in the long run. Central Building Research Institute (CBRI), former Director Prof K Ganesh Babu, said that “a third party monitoring the quality construction to oversee the progress of the construction would help the government meet its objectives.” The entire exercise is aimed at providing a better medical care for the poor.
