Concrete demand is accelerating. High-rise construction is getting more ambitious. Sustainability is pushing us toward new cement systems. And infrastructure projects are becoming more complex.
But beneath that growth are challenges the industry can’t afford to ignore.
In Episode 2 of Cast in Concrete, we sit down with Mr Sadanand Govilkar, MD, Avant-Tech Lab, for a candid conversation on the problems shaping the next decade of concrete.
We get into:
→ High-rise pumping: What really happens when concrete has to travel hundreds of feet vertically, and why pumping is as much about science as it is about site execution.
→ LC3 cements: Can limestone calcined clay cement deliver the sustainability gains the industry is looking for, and is India’s concrete ecosystem ready for wider adoption?
→ Aggregate shortage: The supply challenge that could become one of the biggest constraints on construction growth.
→ QA/QC: Why increasing demand means very little if quality systems, testing and execution don't evolve alongside it.
The bigger question isn't whether India's construction industry will grow.
The question is whether our concrete ecosystem, from materials and technology to testing and execution, can keep up with that growth.
This is a conversation about what comes next.
