ACME, the leader and pioneer in the development of green technology solutions in India, today handed-over the Games Village to the National Games Secretariat for hosting the 35^th edition during 31 January - 14 February 2015 to be held at the state of Kerala.

The state-of-the-art Prefabricated National Games Village is spread over 28 acres on the land, which belongs to Kerala SIDCO in Menamkulam to house more than 5000 sportspersons and officials gathered to participate in the Games.

The unique feature of this Games Village is the First Ever use of technologically-advanced means of construction - Prefabrication Technology for the National Games, which has helped the Games Village to be completed in record time of 10-Months and brought in immense savings to the exchequer.

Through the use of Prefabrication Technology, ACME has made the 35^th National Games Village as the ‘Greenest’ & the most energy efficient but also cost effective and time-saving. 

Thanking the National Games Secretariat, Mr. Samir Sharan, CEO, ACME, said, “ACME is proud to be associated with XXXV National Games and privileged to contribute to the making of the history by setting world-class standards in the field of infrastructure sector.  The construction of state-of-the-art infrastructure for the National Games in a record time is a reflection of our dedication, expertise and capability and reflects our mission to participate in nation-building by using novel technologies that bring in savings in terms of time, money and also help the nation to cut down on carbon footprints.”

The advantage of having a Prefabricated Village would also ensure minimum operation costs.  It can also be relocated to any other site with a minimal expenditure for dismantling the existing structure and re-assembling with additional cost in the form of Steel Flashings / Trims, Civil Foundation, Internal Electrification and Plumbing, Hardware, Floor Finish, Wall Cladding etc.

Elaborating the use of the technologically-advanced Prefabrication Technology, Mr. Sharan added, “Prefabrication Technology is the key to the future of the infrastructure sector that is reeling under pressure to meet the requirements of a growing economy supporting 1.2 bn populations.  We had delivered many successful projects in the past in record time and the National Games Village, which is Asia’s largest prefabricated installation, will serve as the model infrastructure for the sector to emulate.”

The National Games is the premier national multi-sporting event in India and the State of Kerala will host the 35^th Edition of the National Games in 2015. More than 10,000 delegates including Athletes, Technical Officials and Team Officials from various States and Federations are expected to participate in the Games.

As per the report - 'The Global Prefabricated Buildings Market - Key Trends and Opportunities to 2017', developing economies in South-East Asia including India hold prospects for future growth in the Prefabricated Infrastructure segment.  This segment is likely to grow at a CAGR of 8.59% till year 2017.  The scope of this technology and its implementation is very high in the country, considering its cost-effectiveness and ability to function in all terrains & under extreme conditions.

ACME wishes National Games Organizing Committee (NGOC) all the very best and hope that they will showcase the best in technology, infrastructure, facilities, and of course sportsmanship, creating an indelible mark in history setting standards for future display.
