Citius, Altius, Fortius. Faster, Higher, Stronger. The words of the Olympic motto are an inspiration for the construction industry. Every project stake holder aspires to reduce the time taken for the completion of his project. Faster completion leads to enhanced profits. Structures in urban and semi-urban areas are reaching for the sky. Paucity of land has lead to rising costs which keep pushing structures higher. And finally, it’s the strength of structure and it’s ability to withstand the ever aggressive environment that determines both its life and value.
