How AACE MEGAINFRA Helped a Contractor Reduce Project Time by 30%

In today’s competitive infrastructure industry, project delays can quickly turn into cost overruns, labour inefficiency, and client dissatisfaction. AACE MEGAINFRA PVT. LTD., with its advanced construction equipment and reliable scaffolding systems, recently helped a contractor overcome exactly this challenge — reducing project time by an impressive 30%.

 

This case study explains how the right combination of modern machinery, high-quality scaffolding, and technical support delivered remarkable results.

Client Background

The client, a mid-size infrastructure contractor, was working on a G+5 residential building project. The progress was slow due to:

    • Inefficient ply shuttering
    • Manual concrete mixing
    • Repeated rework due to poor formwork quality
    • Labour shortage
    • Delay in vertical movement of materials

After facing months of delays and rising costs, the contractor partnered with AACE MEGAINFRA PVT. LTD. for a complete solution

Challenges Identified

During the project inspection, our team identified the major factors causing delays:

Low Repetition in Ply Shuttering

The contractor was using conventional ply shuttering with a repetition of only 20–25 times. This increased cost, slowed progress, and required frequent replacement

Concrete Quality Inconsistency

Manual mixing led to poor concrete strength, honeycombing, and extra curing time.

Material Handling Issues

Workers had to carry material manually to upper floors, reducing productivity.

Labour-Dependent, Slow Processes

Even simple tasks depended heavily on manpower, affecting the overall schedule.

AACE MEGAINFRA presented a targeted solution combining equipment mechanization and high-efficiency formwork

Solutions Provided by AACE MEGAINFRA

1. Introduction of Mivan Shuttering (High-Repetition Formwork)

We replaced the conventional ply shuttering with Mivan aluminium formwork, which offers:

  • Repetition up to 150–200 cycles
  • Superior finishing
  • Faster slab cycles
  • Reduced rework
  • Minimal labour dependency

This alone helped streamline the structural casting process.

2. Use of a Concrete Batching Plant

Instead of manual mixing, the contractor used a Terra Equipment Batching Plant supplied through AACE MEGAINFRA. Benefits included:

  • Accurate proportioning
  • Faster mixing
  • High-strength concrete
  • No material wastage
  • Smooth flow of work

This ensured consistent quality and quicker setting time.

3. Deployment of Wacker Neuson & AACE Equipment for Faster Execution

To accelerate site work and improve overall efficiency, we recommended and supplied the following machinery:

1. Wacker Neuson Concrete Vibrator

For high-quality concrete compaction, ensuring zero honeycombing, faster setting, and superior structural strength.

2. AACE Make Plate Compactor

Used for soil compaction, providing a strong and stable base for further construction activities.

3. Mini Crane

Deployed for vertical material lifting, reducing labour dependency and speeding up movement of concrete, steel, shuttering plates, and other materials.

4. Bar Bending Machine

Ensured accurate and quick bending of reinforcement bars, improving reinforcement quality and reducing manual effort.

5. Bar Cutting Machine

Enabled precise cutting of rebar, minimizing wastage and maintaining uniformity across all reinforcement work.
