Due to the COVID 19 pandemic, companies across the world are focussing on minimising the staff at offices and having more of their employees work from home, as precautionary measures.
The economic repercussion is widespread and can be felt across sectors and industries. The most impacted sector would be the manufacturing sector. Industries and factories had to halt their operations and shut down temporarily.
At a time when we’re looking at a changed scenario post lockdown, where we would see conferences being held on online platforms and contactless dining experiences being planned up, the manufacturing sector also has to step up and take active measures to ensure the safety of all of their staff.
Unlike the service and IT industry though, manufacturing sector cannot afford work from home, especially for those employees working on ground and in the plant, where their presence is required.
These labourers are often immigrants from smaller villages and towns across India and their accommodation is usually taken care of by the respective companies. Once the industries and factories reopen, companies must come forward to ensure their safety and that of the people they interact with.
Providing workers accommodation close to factories and Institutions will be one of the norms of the changed business environment amidst the fight against Covid -19.
Accommodating the workers somewhere in the premises of the factory or institution would reduce the travel requirements of the workers and limit their interaction with other people.
At, Volta Green Structures, we understand the challenges that the industries, factories and institutions face, in having these facilities up and running at the earliest. The construction of these facilities may take a long time and the companies cannot afford to lose time on that.
This is where we bring in the technology of modular steel construction, where we erect steel structures that are strong and require less maintenance, while being flexible in design and easy to move.
The material used for the construction, i.e steel, is also reusable, which helps the company save on the material wastage expenses. In the longer term, once the need of these facilities is done, they can be remodelled and used for any other purpose.
We believe that at a time when the world around is undergoing rapid changes, only innovation can help us keep up. Measures need to be taken at the earliest and the technology we’ve in the country needs to be explored and fully utilised.
Along with this model, our teams have also developed easy to implement and practical models for testing labs, sample collecting centres, testing centres and quarantine facilities. You can check out how we believe the steel construction industry can come together to help Indian healthcare system at this hour of need, here.
We’re looking to collaborate with the various governments at the state and central level, along with different other construction companies, to unite our ideas, use our resources and help #IndiaFightCOVID.
