International Design Engineer on the Rise in India with three Major Contracts

New Delhi: International design engineer Web Structures today announced it has won three major contracts with leading Indian real estate developers to create the tallest residential skyscrapers in Northern India, in Pune and in Kolkata.

The three deals are a first in India for the civil, structural and geotechnical engineering firm which works partnership with leading international architects, including Foster + Partners, Kohn Pederson Fox (KPF) and Conran & Partners, to create iconic buildings across the world. Its team has also played a role in the Freedom Towers project in New York.

Developers in India are looking to Web Structures to help turn their plans into reality because of its world-leading engineering expertise in helping create tall buildings in earthquake zones.

Web Structures has been called in on an ambitious project for developer Ireo, to create North India’s highest tower - the 50-storey skyscraper at Victory Valley in Gurgaon, part of the NCR (National Capital Region).

Three towers form the residential centrepiece of a total gross 2,000,000 sq ft floor area on the development. They will give residents spectacular views across the region

Web Structures revealed it has also won the contract to work on a 30-storey luxury development in Pune for property developer Marvel Realtors. It will be the highest tower in the city.

The third Indian deal announced today is with Forum Projects, where its team will work on the developer’s plans for two 39-storey towers in the West Bengal city of Kolkata – linked by an amazing three-storey bridge with a jogging track and swimming pool in the sky.
The luxury towers will have a 400,000 sq ft area, with stylish villas in the sky and the spectacular sky-bridge at the top of the development will span 60 metres.

India’s growing economic strength is fuelling a new demand for high-rise living in cities across the country. Skylines are changing rapidly as skyscrapers rise and records for tall buildings tumble.

The practice, which has offices in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Shanghai and London, has also revealed it is in discussions with Indian developers on further ambitious projects in cities across India, including Mumbai and New Delhi.

Many cities in India are situated in earthquake and cyclone zones and building skyscrapers to withstand extreme conditions requires technical, specialised engineering solutions.
