Hindustan Times ( 11 Aug )
carries following news report :
“ BMC’s incredible claim : Can build
homes by recycling 95 % of construction waste “
Mumbai’s municipal corporation has made an
incredible claim — that it will recycle most of the 1,200 metric tons (MT) of
construction wastes generated daily
into building material.
Next year, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation
(BMC)’s solid waste management (SWM) department plans to recycle 1.140 million tonnes (95%) of this
waste into clay, bricks and sand.
Construction experts said they were sceptical of
the claim as the recycling process may not generate sand and bricks. They
however added that it can convert C&D waste into aggregates — finer forms of concrete bricks — that can be
reused by industries.
The BMC has issued
tenders seeking bids for the project. “We expect the tendering process to be
completed over the next six months. The project should start by early 2018,”
said a senior SWM official.
According to the CPCB, India generates 14.7
million tons of C&D waste a year.
This is expected to increase in the future
Claim is credible but “ successful and timely implementation
“ , could be a different matter !
And then there is a question of BMC’s ability to :
·
Buy / collect those 1200 tons of construction
waste from hundreds of construction sites , scattered all over Mumbai
·
Find buyers to whom it can “ sell “ the re-cycled material at good
prices
·
Do , both of these without lining the pockets of decision-makers
involved !
A better ALTERNATIVE would be to :
Invite WinSun Decoration Design Engineering Company of China , to bring
its 3D house printing technology to India , by setting up 100 factories
for pre-fabricating 3D printed houses
Then leave it to thousands of small
builders to " Assemble
" on site , a few thousands houses each, on a " Rate Contract "
basis
Both , in " Pre-fabrication
" and in " On site Assembly " , mass production is the only foundation !
Why WinSun ?
# On 29 March 2014
, WinSun
constructed TEN , 3D printed houses ( 200 sq meter each ) in Shanghai , each costing $ 4,800 ( approx Rs 3 lakh ! )
# On 17 July 2015 , using its 3D printing technology ,
WinSun built a 2 storey villa , in just 3 HOURS !
# WinSun holds 98 patents for construction materials
# For 3D printing
of houses , WinSun , mostly uses,
recycled
construction materials
# 3D house-printing
technology saves,
* 30% -60 % of
building materials
* 70 % of
production time
* 80 %
of construction cost
# Egypt Government has placed on WinSun , an order for
supplying 20,000 pre-fabricated , 3D printed houses
# In Egypt , WinSun will establish 12 Dream Factories ( to build
pre-fabricated houses ) , within 2 years
These factories will mostly use desert sand as its main construction material ,
which was found ideal for 3D printing of houses !
# In next 3 years , WinSun will set up ( in JV with local
parties ) , similar factories in 20 countries , including Saudi Arabia , UAE , Qatar
, Mexico , S. Korea , Russia , Morocco , Tunisia , and USA

It is time to leapfrog the 21st
Century !
