Bridges and flyovers in India become landmarks. If you want to give anyone directions, they are best described by the nearness of a bridge or flyover. Bridges are of various types. Construction of these structures depends upon location, budget, its use, among other things. Suspension, masonry, arch, steel deck, pylons, cantilever, concrete, are only some of the common ones seen in India.
Akhil Gupta, executive director, operations, Afcons Infrastructure, says, “The success of any engineering project depends on complete understanding and co-operation among various stakeholders involved in the project. Involvement of local people, administration, and sensitizing them about the need of the project and benefits that accrue to the local economy are always kept in mind. We look at opportunities to bring improvement in the design and aesthetics of bridge and work closely with consultants, clients, environment agencies while working on any project.”
For Afcons, from capturing stakeholder expectations and translating into constructible drawings, to designing for extreme engineering, its teams come together to become a dependable force to match ambitions of the organisation and clients alike.
Ranked 13th globally in the construction of bridges, Afcons has executed some prestigious projects like Mahatma Gandhi Setu in Bihar, Chenab rail bridge, Vallarpadam rail bridge (Kerala), Ram Jhula bridge (Nagpur), among others.
