How do you experience the demand for concrete as there are increased construction activities happening in transportation infrastructure, irrigation and realty segments?

Demand for concrete  would be high especially with governments push on infra projects under ‘Bharatmala Pariyojna’ and the ‘National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP)’ a first-of-its-kind, whole-of-government exercise to provide world-class infrastructure across India, and improve the quality of life for all citizens

How is the market for concrete pipes evolving?

Considering the massive infrastructure development plan by the state and the central governments which shall generate huge demands for the pipes, the BIS have recognized this world-class vibration casting technology to revolutionize the concrete pipe industry in India and released the fifth revision to IS: 458 as according to them, it would be difficult to meet that big demand with conventional process.

What is the demand trend? How is technology evolving in concrete pipe making?

Even today, most of the concrete pipes are made using traditional spinning process which is time consuming and low on durability. Vibration technology is the best and most efficient casting method for dry cast pipe where concrete is consolidated by means of vibration and hydraulic pressure.

What are the products and solutions offered by the company in concrete pipe making?

Pre Cast Concrete Pipe making machine from 300 mm to 3500 mm Dia.; Pre Cast Box Culverts upto 3m * 3m; Pre Cast U Drains upto 3m * 3m; Pre Cast Manhole Chambers upto 3m; Electrical/Cable  ducts.

How do you look at the growth trend for your range of concrete machinery?

We could see a growing demand for Fully Automatic Vertically casted Pre-cast pipe machines as customers and contractors are looking forward for fast and efficient precast manufacturing process.

With Pakona pipe making machines highway contractors can cast 40 boxes in a day, thus reducing 25 days cycle of cast-in-situ box culvert directly into a single day. In fact, Pakona PPM 2500 has a distinction of being one of the fastest precast culvert making machine in India
