India has bid good bye to manual concrete mixing, once so prevalent in all fields of construction. A switchover to machine mixing at small projects and concrete batching and mixing at big projects has been found both economical as well as qualitative.

These are required to bring down the temperature of the water being circulated around the plant machinery. During circulation, the water draws heat from the machinery and gets hotter. Hot water is brought to the cooling towers where it is made to lose heat and become fit for re-circulation [...]

That's [...]

Most of the special structures such as tall RCC Chimneys, natural draught cooling towers and high rise buildings require pile foundations to bear and transform various kinds of loads safely to the ground. Tall structures face all kinds of heavy dead loads, live loads, wind loads, seismic loads, temperature stresses. Due to the large height involved, wind and seismic loads are prominent and [...]
