Alternate Materials & Technologies

Alternate Materials and Technologies in construction refer to innovative, sustainable, and cost-effective solutions that differ from conventional building practices. These alternatives address environmental concerns, resource scarcity, and affordability while enhancing performance and durability.

Certified Technologies

Introduction

BMTPC is authorised to assess, evaluate and certify innovative building materials, products, systems & technologies having societal benefits for which no Indian Standard is available. PACS aims to mainstream reliable innovations into the construction sector, encouraging quality, sustainability, and affordability. The identified technologies through PACS and GHTC-India enable faster, safer, and more efficient building practices, aligning with national goals for housing and infrastructure development.

Knowledge Hub

Compendiums and technical literature featuring comprehensive data on innovative materials, construction techniques and sustainable practices. These publications serve as essential references for professionals, researchers, students and common man, offering valuable insights, guidelines, and case studies to support informed decision-making and advance construction knowledge.

Disaster Mitigation & Management

About 58.6% land area of India is vulnerable to earthquakes of modern to very high intensity; about 12% of land (over 40 million Ha) is prone to floods and river erosion; 5700 km of coast line out of 7516 km long coast line is prone to cyclones, wind storm surges and tsunamis; 68% of cultivable area is vulnerable to drought and hilly area are at risk from landslides and avalanches. Therefore, disaster resistant construction practices and knowing the hazard, is a first step towards building resilient India.
