Interarch has delivered the largest pre-engineered building in Jaipur, Rajasthan for JCB India.
Interarch in 2014 designed, manufactured and delivered a fabrication shop and assembly shop for JCB India Ltd in Jaipur. The buildings are spread over the area of 30,400 sq m and 22,800 sq m, respectively.

The project is designed according to the latest IS design codes, IS 800: working stress design for both the buildings with consideration given to all the geographical data like wind velocity, seismic zone as per IS standard for every particular site. The lateral forces resulting from the seismic or wind loads are resisted by diagonal bracing and jack portals at intermediate column locations.

The design of the building was such that temperature was kept in control for monitoring the thermal expansion and contraction.

The expertise of Interarch design and engineering department reduced the engineering time of the fabrica?tion shop and assembly shop which were very complex due to functional requirement of the manufacturing and exceptional high loading required in the building. Interarch for the first time designed a building bearing heavy load of approximately 225 m hanging from the roof and for the column grid of 40 m x 24 m to take care of the high loads higher grade of steel 450 MPA has been used for the built up members.

Interarch certified builders and employees had to work under very stringent quality and safety conditions and had to deploy innovative solutions like the highest safety standard which were followed in line with the international standard to achieve zero accident and logistic and warehousing control at site to meet site standard norms. Daily tool box meeting to review the site status and way forward was done, regular quality check jointly with client was done and corrective measures to achieve the best quality in line with global standard were taken. The highest level of safety standard were showcased by the Interarch Project Management team at the site, achieving zero accident with over 150 skilled workers working at site. The hard work paid and the company delivered the largest pre-engineered building in Jaipur in record time with testimony and award from the largest EPC company in India. The project was completed in record period of six months.

TotalEnergies and Holcim have commissioned a floating solar power plant in Obourg, Belgium, built on a rehabilitated former chalk quarry that has been converted into a lake. The project has a generation capacity of 31 MW and produces around 30 GWh of renewable electricity annually, which will be used to power Holcim’s nearby industrial operations. The project is currently the largest floating solar installation in Europe dedicated entirely to industrial self-consumption. To ensure minimal impact on the surrounding landscape, more than 700 metres of horizontal directional drilling were used to connect the solar installation to the electrical substation. The project reflects ongoing collaboration between the two companies to support industrial decarbonisation through renewable energy solutions and innovative infrastructure development.
