TAMBARAM:
Labour intensive techniques need to be discarded in favour of modern construction technologies and mechanisation on a large scale, according to A. Ramakrishna, adviser, Larsen and Toubro Limited.
He was speaking at a three-day international conference on recent advances in concrete and construction technology at S.R.M. Engineering College, Kattankulathur.
Dr. Ramakrishna said modern technologies and large-scale mechanisation had to be adopted to meet the targets of Vision 2020.
The construction industry employed three crore people, many of them unskilled labourers.
