A team of more than 200 people worked in Mohali round the clock to build a building within its 48-hour deadline.
INSTACON, the much talked about building, entered into record books as the fastest completed building of its kind in India.
“We assembled the 200- tonne building, having an area of over 25,000 square meters within the stipulated time of 48 hours, whose deadline ended at 4.30 pm on Saturday,” said Harpal Singh, CMD of Synergy Thrislington, a Mohali-based infrastructure company.
He also showed the certificate issued by the Limca Book of Records for being the fastest 10-storey building in India.
I C Syal, an ex-professor of Punjab Engineering College who designed the building, said the structure can last for 600 years.
“It’s a tube-in-tube structure. There will be no problem of seepage or leakage.
“We also measured the building’s deflection in case of strong winds and earthquakes, which comes to 49 mm as against 123 mm deflection allowed by the government for conventional buildings,” Syal said.
Singh added that other works, including air conditioning, lighting and making toilets functional will be taken up later.
