Structural Consultant Mahimtura Consultants Pvt Ltd
The Capital is a building situated in Plot No C-70, G Block of the
Structural Contractor PPSL (part of Capacit’e Group) Bandra Kurla Complex, Bandra (E):the international Finance &
Business Centre of Mumbai. The Capital was constructed by
Parking Number 700-1000 Wadhwa Developers and designed by James Law(Cybertecture).
Concept
Comprehensive sustainable concept of form and function have inspired
the design of the building and its urban context as never before in India.
The extensive use of computer simulations has an important role to play in
the design of these buildings, able to withstand the challenges that are
faced.
The purpose of Law is the creation of high-tech buildings that are healthy
and ecologically balanced environment to live, work or play.
Located in the heart of BKC, The Capital has a cutting edge and
contemporary facade eternal, while the interiors have a rich color palette
and textures.

Existing Value Added Features
1. Automated parking system
a. One innovation in the design of the building is the smart parking system. Using internet and a card system, occupants can enter
the system and order your car from the office to have it in the door and shortening the lap time. The parking lot is for 900 Plus
cars. R.C.C. There are 2 basement levels (about 16 m depth) provided for the car park
2. Natural light and sober specialty led lighting
a. At the podium level, diffusers installed at the ceiling level reflected natural light into the atrium which significantly reduces the
lighting energy demand, in order to keep power- consumption to a minimum.
b. There are sparkling LED stripes protruded on the facade of “The capital” do not only act as an urban information display device,
but also play the role of sun shading devices.
c. The Capital’s architectural positioning and low solar co-efficient double-glazed glass exterior ensures that it gets adequate
daylight of 79.2% for regular occupied spaces.
d. An incredible stepped-in glazed valley façade is created at the West elevation of the building. The facade is stepped while
each floor supported by feature columns and cantilevered in a way that the building itself act as a shading device.
3. Intelligent and high-speed elevator system
a. Equipped with a Compass System to optimize the waiting time considering the active traffic at all times; providing an efficient
vertical transport system with 16 numbers of high speed elevators .
4. Building USP LEED certified gold building with an AAA- grading and achieving over 80% efficiency simultaneously.
a. Eco-friendly provisions that enable 35% increased energy-efficiency over conventional buildings!
5. The quality of the air in the building is 30% higher than the requirement specified by ASHRAE 62.1
6. Health services equipped with innovative technology GROHE offer the highest level of sustainability, efficiency and design on
each floor.
Construction Methodology- Up Down Construction
The ring beam & supporting columns in such a way that it does
not obstruct the view and symmetry of the structural arrangement
All the intermediate slabs are supported over the edge ring beam.
These ring beams, cast in segment are fully supported by staging
till the time the ring beam is complete and the concrete matures.
The details of the R.C.C. ring beam are as follows ……..
Flat floor plates without any drop or beam (only flat edge beam)
projection are provided for the user to make use of full floor to
floor height
Use of Post tensioned concrete slabs above 4th floor with high
grade concrete made it possible to span large column free spans.
Design-Build Efficiency
Precast concrete offers an efficient delivery model for your
project; allowing building construction to proceed while
the design is developed.
Aesthetically Versatile
Precast concrete can take nearly any shape or size, be manufactured in virtually any
color and comes in a wide variety of finishes. With precast, you are limited only by your
imagination.
Low Maintenance
The exterior of a precast concrete structure can be left unpainted without damage
from the elements. If painting is desired, repainting is needed only every five to ten
years. Precast concrete interiors are less subject to damage and easier to wash.
Reduced Costs
Precast concrete products are manufactured off-site, under roof
and are delivered ready to install when needed. This innovative
process compresses project schedules, reduces safety concerns,
reduces site disruption and reduces overall project costs by
requiring fewer trades for construction and fewer people on site.
A study established that precast concrete slabs were on average
23.22% cheaper than the cast-in-place concrete elements and
precast columns were averagely 21.4% less than cast-in-place
concrete columns.
Environment Resistant
Precast concrete structures provide superior resistance to fires,
natural disasters, insects and mold. Like no other building material,
its resistance to rain, wind damage, earthquakes, termites and
decay provides lower maintenance and insurance costs. It can
also withstand many winters of freeze-thaw cycles better than
other building materials.
Thermal Efficient
Costs associated with heating and cooling can be greatly
reduced through concrete thermal mass benefits. Reduced peak
heating and cooling loads can be achieved because concrete
reacts slowly to changes in outside temperature.
Facade and Function
The large oval shape in front of the building, not only serves to
identify it as a construction out of the ordinary, but inside has a
large LED screen media communication providing shade which
hangs inward while news projected that the public is on the
outside.
The perforations could be of any size and shape, and they could
form a sort of a pattern or a figure to mark the facade and give it
an aesthetic appeal.
An automatic irrigation-cum-fertigation system can be installed,
arranged by stations at each level with controls based on plants
water demand.
