ACCE (I) to Host National Conference on Next-Gen Highrise Buildings

Hyderabad, June 17, 2025: The Association of Consulting Civil Engineers (India) [ACCE (I)], Hyderabad centre, will organise a two-day national conference on ‘Next-Gen Highrise Buildings–Advancements in Composite and Steel Structures’ on the ESCI campus, Centenary Convention Centre, Gachibowli, Hyderabad, on July 11 and 12.

Eight hundred 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. Structural design, stability and sustainability are emerging challenges in the construction of high-rise buildings.

The conference 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. Besdies, 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 high-rise construction while also facilitating networking opportunities with industry experts, researchers and thought leaders from across the country.

“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,” Rajkumar Kacharla, President (South) and VP, ACCE(I), said.

“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.”

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.”

Er. Bheem Rao Jaligama, Vice-Chairman and Chairman-In-Charge, 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.”

Er. C Ramesh, Honorary 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.”

ACCE (I) Hyderabad invites professionals, builders, engineers, students and media to be a part of this transformative journey that merges innovation with responsibility.
