INSDAG 2021

Due to the covid-19 pandemic the hospitals were facing scarcity of beds and with rapid increase of patients it need extra hospital facilities i.e., Quarantine centres have been designated by the government to avoid the spread of the virus from potentially infected foreign returnees. These facilities strictly adhere to all COVID-19 guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health, govt. Of India. INSDAG wishes to provide most economical and aesthetically pleasing schemes and all relevant design and detail drawings thereof, to their client. The major challenge of the design was to provide a design which can be executed in a very short duration & can be relocated after the purpose is fully served. Considering that we have been appointed as a structural consultant for this project and have been asked to furnish structural solution for “Steel Intensive Quarantine Centre Building for COVID-19” for INSDAG (2019- 2020) Competition.

Institute for Steel Development & Growth (INSDAG) is a not-for-profit, member-based organization established by the Government of India (Ministry of Steel) and Major Steel Producers of the Country in the year 1996 as a “Society” under Societies Registrations Act of West Bengal 1961.
