Mr M.Karthik has been a member of the board since 1998 and has vast experience in execuIng various bridge projects undertaken by the VME group.

VME through the years

VME Group was founded. One of the pioneers in mechaniza9on of earthwork using excavators 1986 and other sophis9cated equipment.

Ventured into building bridges for the Tamil Nadu State Highways based on Precast Technology. 1992 Won an accolade from World Bank team for quality and also speedy execu9on for the very rst bridge. A bow string girder bridge at Katpadi for Southern Railways which won a Na9onal Award by the Indian Ins9tute of Bridge Engineers. This bridge was completed in 1998 where the en9re span of 1998 42 meters weighing 750 tons was cast separately and placed in posi9on. Setup its own Ready mix concrete unit.

2008

Set up Indias First Completely Automated Precast Factory along with global associates VaBe and Elema9c of Finland. Diversied into Real Estate domain with VME Realty. Launched it First Project Lakeside in August 2010 . The en9re construc9on will be done using Precast Technology.

2010

An Outstanding Award
The group has over the last twenty ve years focused on planning, execuIon and transfer of specialized projects in the eld of construcIon like road over bridges, railway bridges and other presIgious highway projects.

AWARD WINNING PROJECT MOST OUTSTANDING BRIDGE

Our Partners
Valkeakosken Betoni Oy One of the largest manufacturers and suppliers of precast elements in Finland. Valkeakosken Concrete Ltd was founded in 1993, in Finland, by Mr. Markku Lehtinen.

Equipment Supplier
Elematic Oy Elematic is the leading supplier of precast concrete machinery and equipment worldwide and the only one-stop-supplier in the industry providing precasters on five continents for five decades.

VME Precast FACILITY

VME Precast uses cu]ng edge technology to create precast concrete elements which includes Hollow Core Slabs for oor and roof slabs

Wall Panels

for External, Internal and Sandwich panels

Columns & Beams for framed structures

They are precisely cast in a controlled environment and properly cured. Other products like Stair case, Water tanks, Boundary walls ,Gallery stands for stadiums and much more are also manufactured in our factory. VME Precast is the only Precast factory in India oering a total building solu9on under one roof.

Hollow Core Slabs

Extruder Hollow core slabs of varying depth are produced

Hollow Core Slabs

Longer spans and greater strengths of hollow core slabs is specially advantageous for long span buildings where unobstructed space is required. Grade of concrete used is M 60 HCS weigh 40 to 50 % less than conven9onal RCC slabs of the same dimensions. HCS are manufactured in 160, 200, 265mm thick as standard products. Annual ProducIon capacity 1,80,000 Sqm

Advantages of Hollow Core Slabs

Longer span and greater loads than conven9onal slabs of same depth. Longer span, meaning less beams and columns required which gives more unobstructed space and saving for the client. Gives be`er heat insula9on and also can be used for insulaIon by lling cool ambient air in the holes of HCS which reduces air- condiIoning requirement of a building by 30% Does not require any scaolding at site and erec9on can be done in all weather condi9on Be`er re resistance and many more..

Hollow Core Slab Test

2.5Mt 2.5Mt

265 mm thick Hollow Core Slab of 8m length is being tested by placing two blocks weighing 2.5Mt each. The slab was designed for 500kg/Sqm but the loading was 5 9mes more than the design load ac9ng like a point load and the slab did not fail.

Wall Panels
CIRCULATING TABLE MOULD Wall Panels are produced using circulaIng Table Mould
150mm thick load bearing walls and 100mm thick par99on wall panels provide more oor space compared to conven9onal system of Brick walls of 200mm thick, columns and beam frames. Electrical conduits and boxes are placed into the panels in the factory. Low maintenance cost. Higher durability compared to in-stu structures. Grade of Concrete used is M 35-40 Annual ProducIon capacity - 1,80,000 Sqm

Demoulding Demoulding of the wall panel.

Advantages of Wall Panels

Wall panels can be customized to clients specica9on to achieve best building design. Energy Saving - Sandwich Panels with insula9on, the air-condi9oning requirement of a building can be brought down by 30%. Panels with faades to enhance the aesthe9cs can be done. All Electrical Conduits can be done inbuilt in the factory Windows can be prexed on the panels Does not require plastering and very less pu`y is required

 Columns & Beams

VME has a long range of standardized beams using both normal reinforcement and High Tensile steel for pre stressing. BEAM - Our standard cross sec9ons include IB- beams, RB-beams, LB-beams, ITB-beams and special at beams FB-beams. In all types it is possible to provide exposed reinforcement for composite structure. COLUMN - VME produces standard rectangular RCC columns. Annual ProducIon capacity - 18,000 Rm of columns and beams can be produced.

Advantages of Precast Column & Beams

Using Precast beams and columns will save considerable cost and time as time-consuming shuttering and scaffolding are avoided. Higher quality and more accurate compared to in-situ work. Grade concrete used is M 45 Precast columns and beams are fast to install, and does not require any storage space on site, as the units are generally erected directly from the trailer into its final position. Using prestressed beams will enable large spans, which opens up waste areas inside the building.

Advantages of Precast
Quality Control In VME, the Precast Elements are produced in a controlled environment in a state-of-the-art plant. Hence the highest levels of quality control can be maintained as opposed to on-site pouring of concrete Strength Precast elements casted in the factory are of higher grade concrete mix proportions as compared to the conventional way of on-site construction. Weather Dependency Precast concrete elements are cured in the plant itself which cuts down the time required for curing and at the same time ensures proper effective curing. Dependency on the weather is also avoided as changes in the weather will not delay production or affect the erection schedule. Weather Resistance Unlike other precast materials that can rust, rot or degrade in the presence of moisture, precast concrete actually gets stronger if the un-hydrated cement particles in it react with water, thus making it completely water-resistant. Durability Using precast concrete elements improves construction quality and thus extends the life cycle of buildings. Corrosion & Fire Resistance Precast concrete is designed to withstand the most common corrosive agents. Most precast materials other than concrete and steel are flammable or do not perform well in high temperatures. In fact, even steel looses its structural capacity quickly which can lead a building to collapse. Precast concrete is one of the few noncombustible building materials which does not loose its structural capacity nearly as quickly as steel, and performs very well even in elevated temperatures.

Advantages of Precast
InsulaIon Precast Sandwich panels have an insulated membrane between two concrete layers which reduces huge heat transmission thus saving energy to a large extent. Water Tightness When precast concrete products are produced in a quality-controlled environment and used with high- quality sealants, it makes the nished product completely water-proof. Eciency Precast technology saves up to 50% of construc9on 9me. Environment friendly Precast technology contributes to best green building prac9ce in a number of ways. Buildings made with precast sandwich panels can achieve anywhere between 30 to 40% savings in energy. Apart from this, less community disturbance also takes place as less dust, noise and waste are created at the construc9on site . Low Maintenance Precast concrete produces products of the highest quality, where stringent quality control measures are adopted so the usual post construc9on problems like leakage or cracks can be avoided. Seismic Buildings made with precast concrete elements have also got be`er resistance to seismic condi9ons. AestheIcs Precast concrete products can be given dis9nc9ve facades like marble, granite and brickwork.
