About the Project

Project Overview

The Indian Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS), a premier training, education, and research institute under the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), is located in Dehradun, Uttarakhand. The construction company was entrusted with the development and expansion of institutional infrastructure to support advanced research in remote sensing, geoinformatics, and space applications. The project focused on creating state-of-the-art academic, research, and residential facilities with world-class standards while preserving the natural surroundings of Dehradun.

Scope of Work

Institutional Buildings: Construction of academic blocks, laboratories, seminar halls, and smart classrooms with modern teaching and research infrastructure.
Research & Development Facilities: Specialized laboratories for satellite data processing, geospatial technologies, and remote sensing applications.
Hostel & Residential Complexes: High-quality living facilities for students, scholars, and faculty, including hostels, staff quarters, and guest houses.
Auditorium & Conference Facilities: A fully equipped auditorium with advanced AV systems for national and international seminars.
Infrastructure & Utilities: Internal roads, stormwater drainage, electrical substations, HVAC systems, water supply, sewage treatment, and solar energy integration.
Landscape Development: Green zones, open courtyards, and eco-sensitive landscaping to promote a sustainable and serene campus environment.

Challenges & Solutions

Precision Requirements: Research laboratories required high-quality construction with strict tolerances, dust-free environments, and vibration-free flooring.
Technology Integration: Complex MEP services (mechanical, electrical & plumbing) were integrated with IT infrastructure and satellite communication systems.
Sustainability: Implementation of green building practices including rainwater harvesting, solar panels, and energy-efficient designs.
Logistics & Security: Construction within a secure and operational ISRO campus demanded strict adherence to timelines, restricted access management, and compliance with safety protocols.

Project Highlights

Establishment of a world-class academic and research hub for geoinformatics and remote sensing in India.
Built to international standards with modern laboratories, research facilities, and digital infrastructure.
Incorporation of eco-friendly building techniques, blending modern architecture with Dehradun’s natural environment.
Facilities designed to support both national and international scholars, reinforcing India’s leadership in space science and geospatial technologies.
