Confederation of Indian Industry Introduces Flooring Forum

Flowcrete India will be giving presentations on stamped concrete systems and specialist resin flooring at this year’s flooring focused Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) conference.

The event, entitled ‘Industrial and Commercial Flooring – Technology, Trends and Innovation’, is taking place in Chennai from 27-28 September. The confederation has chosen this theme, as it knows that the floor area is vitally important to the functionality and aesthetics of any building.

The flooring market represents a significant portion of India’s construction industry, with approximately 25 million square metres of flooring constructed per year. In fact, the size of the industrial and commercial flooring industry is estimated to be around RS 4,000 crore and is expected to grow around 16-20% over the next decade.

The CII has organised this forum to provide a space for the industry to discuss and evaluate the flooring sector as well as give construction professionals the chance to find out about emerging technologies.

Flowcrete India is committed to helping the CII educate India’s construction professionals on the advantages and practicalities of state-of-the-art flooring solutions. To achieve this, it is a co-sponsor of the conference and the Vice President of Flowcrete India, Vivekanandan Margasahayam, will be co-chairing the entire two-day event as well as delivering a special address on the first morning of the conference.

To help inform the industry about the latest flooring technologies, Flowcrete’s Technical Director, Grant Adamson, will deliver a 15-minute presentation at 11:50am on day two of the event about specialist resin flooring solutions that are designed to meet the demands of contemporary construction projects.

Flowcrete India is now able to supply The Euclid Chemical Company’s Increte range of stamped concrete systems. Diego Lopez, the Product Manager of The Euclid Chemical Company, will be delivering a presentation entitled ‘Decorative Concrete for Outdoor Floor Finishes’ at 2:50pm on day two.

Leaders from across India’s construction industry will also be giving presentations at the conference on topics including: design standards; engineering processes and available materials; equipment and automation; quality standards; testing procedures; interior and exterior coatings; and refurbishment solutions.

Attendees to the conference that would like to learn more about floors for commercial and industrial facilities can talk to Flowcrete India’s expert team at its stall space. This is an ideal opportunity to discuss resin solutions in-depth, including antimicrobial enhanced polyurethanes, specialist car park deck coating materials, highly decorative epoxies, robust screeds, fast curing surfaces and more.
