Enjoy sound-proof doors with 60-min fire rating

Sauerland Spanplatte Germany, world’s largest component supplier to the door industry has partnered with several door manufacturers in India to provide you a dual performance Door-set.

Keep the noise out on daily basis and provide passive fire protection for 60 minutes for the main door in case of any fire accident. What a big advantage to the home owner!

Ever thought to expect such features from the door? Sauerland Spanplatte with their vast experience of more than six decades and spanning exports to 90 countries have been active in the Indian door industry since 2008. They have introduced the eco-friendly tubular core option to timber infill successfully. Last year, more than 8 lakh doors were made in India using the tubular boards technology.

But the door constructions are still primitive. The basic purpose of the door is to provide privacy - privacy of sight and privacy of sound. While the present door systems provide privacy of sight only, the door fails to provide privacy of sound, which is a matter that needs correction by builders and architects. Sauerland have up-scaled the technology for the Indian door industry to introduce fire protection cum acoustic doors with cores in several configurations and options for up to 44 dBs sound reduction and fire rating up to 60 minutes. The door sets need to be provided with perimeter seals and drop seals for achieving the privacy of sound.

Sauerland cores when used in a main door with their acoustic and fire properties provide sound reduction of 34dB and act as a fire containment door for 60 minutes without using any inorganic material like Gypsum board, Cement board or Calcium Silicate or Fiberglass to achieve 60 minutes fire rating as per BS 476: Part 22: 1987 or as per IS 3614 Part 2 (1992).

The acoustical features benefit on daily basis by keeping out or keeping in the sounds, restricting the noise pollution to a great extent whereas the fire performance of a door set is a passive protection in case of an eventuality or an accident.

Now, door manufacturers in India can offer the builders and architects a triple acting door set which provides sound proofing and much necessary fire protection of 60 minutes clubbed with smoke containment technology.

Sauerland Cores are having very low formaldehyde level of E1, which means they are safe for internal use in residential buildings.

Ashok P Chhajer, OE Sales, BKT Tyres

It is necessary to arrest the stagnation and create opportunities

Incepted in 1987 and Headquartered in Mumbai, Balkrishna Industries Limited (BKT) is a leading manufacturer in the Off-Highway tire market. Ashok P Chhajer, OE Sales, BKT Tyres, talks about BKT’s expansion plans in India and his belief that a turnaroundin the health of the construction sector is eminent.

Could you talk about your expansion plans? Our top management is overlooking the implementation of the expansion plan. It will include end-to-end automation;right from raw material handling to production of the end product. Nevertheless it is expensive and ambitious, but we have been known to do things differently. The existing Aurangabad plant will be relocated to a new location to bring this expansion plan into action.

So, you are saying the relocation has begun. Have you finalised everything? Yes everything is done and the work is on, in full swing. The new site is based in Aurangabad itself.Butthe location is different; the location is bigger and can help in achieving the desired capacity augmentation.

Something like the facility you have in Bhuj? No. Bhuj is a massive property about 350 acres and this one is relatively smaller. From the existing facility which is spread across 15 to 20 acres, we are going for a facility which will be spread across 30 acres to 35 acres. So, this capacity expansion that you’re doing, is it keeping in mind the Indian market or the international market? BKT caters to a global market. And now we have started addressing the needs of the Indian market too. It is needless to say that BKT is a global brand. So, whatever we do, we keep in mind the needs and requirements of our global product market.

BKT is a global player and much of its market is overseas. At the same time the market share of BKT in the domestic market has increased from 8 per cent to 15 per cent. Yes India as a market fits into our global aspirations. We are growing and will continue to grow.

With your global expertise in place what are your key focus areas? Initially our sole focus was on the domestic agricultural market. In the last four years we have become even more aggressive about it. This has a lot to do with the response to our COMMANDER range of tires.At the same time we remain bullish about product offerings in the construction and mining sector which includes the OTR tire range.

As one of the key industry player, do you have any feedback for the government? Nitin Gadkari, Minister for Road Transport & Highways of India, in his inauguratory Excon speech covered all the areas.He detailed out the government’s plans with regards to construction and infrastructure. This has added a lot of faith in the minds of the participants at Excon. These projects have a lot of business potential and we all keen to capitalize.

So, you are very happy with the way things are going currently? I agree that the construction sector is not in the best of health. Having said that it is necessary to arrest the stagnation and create opportunities. After listening to MrGadkari, I believe the government remains optimistic and is keen to ensure the sector flourishes. So, I am banking on the promises which have been made and hopefully everything will be in place.

11 th GRIHA Summit focuses on ‘Integrated Approach to Sustainability’

Highlighting that nearly 65 per cent of India’s population is rural, Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister for Road Transport & Highways and MSMEs, said that creating employment for the rural, agriculture and tribal sector is a high priority for the government. This requires knowledge, technology and innovation that can drive sustainable development in India.

The Minister was speaking at the 11th edition of the GRIHA Summit, co-hosted by GRIHA council and UNSW, Sydney, at the India Habitat Centre in New Delhi. The theme for this year’s Summit is “Approach to Integrated Sustainability”.

Speaking about various green initiatives of the government, Gadkari said, “Creating waste into wealth is the new vision for the country. We are working hard to formulate a policy on biofuels in the transport sector. We are also promoting ethanol and bio-compressed natural gas (bio-CNG). The sector is growing very fast. There are plans to make bio-CNG from rice husk in Delhi. We have also launched India’s first motorbike powered on 100 per cent bioethanol.”

Citing the example of Nagpur, the Minister said the city earns nearly `300 crore from recycling sewage water and nearly 80 buses in the city are plying on bio-CNG, made from sludge and various kinds of biowaste. He also spoke about the use of flyash waste being used in construction and the mandatory use of 8% plastic in road construction. In Maharashtra, the Minister spoke about the rejuvenation of rivers and nullahs in a few districts, by deepening the water bodies and using the material for making aggregate used in road construction.

Her Excellency Harinder Sidhu, Australian High Commissioner to India, said India and Australia face similar challenges of urbanisation, which get further complicated by climate change. Talking about the need to make homes and cities liveable and functional, she said, “We commend the GRIHA Council for making frameworks that reduce emissions from our built environment.”

His Excellency Freddy Svane, Ambassador, Royal Danish Embassy to India, emphasised Denmark’s commitment to reduce 70 per cent emissions by 2030, through their own efforts and not by any carbon trading mechanism. Talking about India’s efforts, he added, “The social aspect of sustainability is important. Billions of people in India should be able to enjoy the same quality of life as developed countries, but with more responsibility and with the help of technology and innovation.” He also talked about developing a strategic partnership between India and Denmark.

During the inaugural session, several new projects across India that have demonstrated compliance under the GRIHA rating system received awards. ITC Kohenur in Hyderabad, “Integrity” Campus at Titan Corporate Office in Bengaluru, National Academy of Customs, Indirect Taxes and Narcotics (NACIN) in Hyderabad, Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Kozhikode Campus (Phase V), and Bihar Museum in Patna are among the recipients of a 5-star GRIHA rating. The rating variant GRIHA is designed for new constructions having built-up area more than 2500 square metres. The rating system consists of 31 criteria categorised under various sections such as site planning, construction management, occupant comfort and wellbeing, sustainable building materials, performance monitoring and validation, and innovation.
