Hyderabad, June 16, 2025: The Association of Consulting Civil Engineers (India) [ACCE (I)], Hyderabad centre is organizing a Two-Day National Conference on ‘Next-Gen Highrise Buildings – Advancements in Composite and Steel Structures’, on July 11th and 12th at ESCI campus, Centenary Convention Centre, Gachibowli, Hyderabad. 800 participants across India are expected to attend the event, representing diverse regions and sectors of the construction industry. The conference will also feature more than 14 eminent speakers, who will share their insights and perspectives on various aspects related to high-rise buildings and the evolving landscape of civil engineering. The conference aims to shape the future of urban infrastructure by promoting innovative and sustainable high-rise construction practices.

Rapid vertical growth is becoming a necessity in urban spaces. The structural design, stability, and sustainability are emerging challenges in the construction of high-rise buildings. The conference on Next-Gen Highrise Buildings will focus on sustainable design, encouraging the use of innovative materials and techniques to reduce environmental impact. It will also explore the use of advanced systems for withstanding natural disasters for resilient structures, which is critical for the safety and longevity of high-rise buildings. Apart from this, the conference will explore cutting-edge technologies and applications in tall building constructions with a focus on Composite and Steel Systems.

The conference will provide a vibrant platform for knowledge sharing and collaboration, encouraging the exchange of ideas and innovations among professionals. It aims to showcase the latest research and developments in the field of high-rise construction while also facilitating networking opportunities with industry experts, researchers, and thought leaders from across the country.

Speaking on this occasion, Mr. Rajkumar Kacharla, President South, Vice President, ACCE(I), said, “We are not just constructing buildings—we are crafting a sustainable legacy for generations to come. This conference is a testament to how the civil engineering fraternity is stepping forward to redefine urban growth with resilience, innovation, and responsibility. The conference will feature insightful sessions on smart infrastructure and urban resilience, along with in-depth discussions on climate-conscious design, digital tools, and green construction norms. It brings together industry pioneers, civil engineers, architects, and decision-makers to explore advancements shaping the skylines of urban India. Looking forward to lively and interactive sessions to shape the future of urban infrastructure in India.”

Adding to this, Mr Er. Kashiram Adepu, governing council member and immediate past chairman, ACCE (I) Hyderabad Centre, said, “ The rapid growth of the urban regions and also tier I and tier II cities is forcing vertical growth in these centres. The civil engineering fraternity needs to continuously upgrade and stay in line with the best practices being followed for strong, stable, and sustainable high-rise buildings.  This conference will provide the right platform and act as a catalyst to drive engineers, policymakers, and innovators to embrace smarter, safer, and more sustainable building practices that will define our skylines for decades.”

According to Mr. Er. Bheem Rao Jaligama, Vice-Chairman and In-charge Chairman, ACCE(I) Hyderabad Centre, said, “This conference is a vibrant step toward smarter and more sustainable urban development. It encourages engineers to innovate reliably and build with resilience. Together, we are shaping cities that are smart, sustainable, and ready to meet tomorrow’s challenges.”

Addressing the gathering, Er. C. Ramesh, Hon. Secretary, ACCE(I) said,
“This platform fosters collaboration and knowledge-sharing within the engineering community. It drives innovation while reinforcing the latest research and sustainable development.”
