With Modern times come modern needs and for one of the fastest growing economies in the world a structure that is bold innovative peculiar is deeply desired. This fulfilled by a 21st century edifice that goes beyond a conventional construction in the name of The Capital developed by the Wadhwa Group. This magnificent commercial building makes a statement that it is part of a future that is strong, progressive and liberal.

Located at the heart of BKC Mumbai’s new financial nerve centre. The CAPITAL is an iconic development that will be the pride of India’s commercial capital and envy for the rest. This cutting edge edifice showcases an everlasting and contemporary façade, while its interiors feature a rich palette of colors and textures designed by international architect James Law from Cybertecture.

Newkem had the opportunity of working on this project by providing Flamebar BW11 – Fire Rated Ductwork for the stairway pressurization system and Structural Steel Fire Protection.

The Pressurization System ensures that incase of a fire the stairways remain at a positive air pressure not allowing any smoke to enter the stairway. This will ensure a safe evacuation during a fire. It was essential that the ducts used in this system were fire rated so that it would work successfully in a fire scenario.

The Two levels in the basement were constructed using structural steel. The steel structures enabled the architect to have wider column spans allowing more cars to be parked. The Steel columns were then concrete encased while the beams were coated with vermiculite cement based ISOLATEK Type CP2 coating by Newkem.
