SAINTGITS – NIT WARANGAL – NRIDA TIE-UP
Department of Civil Engineering, Saintgits College of Engineering, made an association with NIT Warangal as part NRIDA research project. This tie-up mainly focuses on traffic survey, structural evaluation using FWD, pavement condition index, and roughness values of various roads to determine structural and functional performance. The college made association with the data collection of 15 Roads with Mixed Seal surfacing, Dense graded BC surfacing 30 mm or 40 mm thick and OGPC + Seal Coat surfacing.
The project includes 3 stages:
Stage 1- Detailed inspection of the project site for traffic data collection, estimation of PCI, assessment of pavement layer properties from DPR
Stage 2 – FWD study and roughness evaluation after the monsoon season
Stage 3 – FWD study and roughness evaluation during the summer season
MOU WITH TVASTA MANUFACTURING SOLUTIONS – 3D PRINITING
Mou signed between Saintgits College of Engineering and Tvasta Manufacturing Solutions to share the expertise available at both ends for mutual benefits in the field of education, scientific, and industrial research. 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a process of creating three-dimensional objects by layering successive materials on top of each other. Unlike traditional subtractive manufacturing methods, where material is removed from a solid block to create a shape, 3D printing builds up the object layer by layer. The Memorandum of Understanding envisages the following:
- Research Synergy: Forge a research alliance to advance 3D concrete printing technology and share expertise to pioneer innovations, explore new applications. and develop an intellectual property portfolio as _an output from the said research alliance. Access Facilities for Saintgits Ph.D. Scholars Conducting Research at Tvasta R&D Lab based on mutual convenience.
- Tech Exchange: Facilitate the seamless exchange of technical knowledge and insights. fostering accelerated development and continuous improvement. This includes a dedicated focus on practical structural design aspects as well. Consultative Support for Structural Design, Encouraging Faculty (Consultancy) Involvement in Real-World Building Projects.
- Talent Empowerment: Provide faculties and students with hands-on internship through exposure to real-world projects and nurture future-proof engineers in the 3D printing domain based on mutual convenience.
- Market Stimulus: Offer exclusive pricing benefits on concrete 3D printers to Saintgits, as an educational institution, promoting wider adoption and enhancing both parties’ market presence
- Certification Course: A collaborative certification course in 3D concrete printing technology, authorized by the Construction Skill Development Council of India (CSDC) based on mutual convenience
- 3D Printed Bus Stop: Tvasta and Saintgits will work on developing a structural design for a 3D printed bus stop that will be used in the campus
MOU WITH KERALA TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY – BIM TRAINING
Saintgits College of Engineering signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Kerala Technological University, KTU to train and to provide support for the skill development of faculty and students in Building Information Modelling (BIM). The main aim of the collaborations is to impart training with the use of modern communication media and technologies for the development of skills appropriate for a learning society in the context of innovations, research and discovery by establishing educational network related to engineering science. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a process that involves creating and managing digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of a building or infrastructure. BIM is used throughout the entire lifecycle of a project, from conceptualization and design to construction, operation, and maintenance. Key components of BIM include: 3D modeling, data integration, collaboration, interoperability, visualization, analysis and simulation and facility management.
