Chetan Raikar, Chairman & Managing Director of STRUCTWEL Designers and Consultants Pvt. Ltd., and Past President of American Concrete Institute – India Chapter has scooped up the prestigious ‘Industry Captain’ trophy at the 10th CIDC Vishwakarma Awards 2018.

The red carpet ceremony was attended by more than 500 industry-leading figures and professionals from across the country.

CIDC was established by the Government of India and the construction industry. It launched the Annual CIDC Vishwakarma Awards, a truly premier award ceremony to recognize the work and achievements of individuals and organizations of the Indian construction industry.

This is the most recent accolade awarded to Chetan and supplements the numerous awards bestowed on his company STRUCTWEL, including the recent Award for ‘Excellence in built environment’ by Indian Buildings Congress (IBC) and the Platinum Award for ‘Engineering conservation of the earthquake-affected stone masonry palace and temple at Morvi, Gujarat’ by Quality Council of India (QCI).

Structwel is an ISO 9001:2015 Certified consultancy organization rendering services in Architectural, Civil, and Structural, Electrical, Mechanical and other fields. In its 51 years of operation, STRUCTWEL has been associated with reputed organizations, offering consultancy for iconic medium- and large-sized projects.

Chetan Raikar noted: “Taking the top spot in multiple award categories is a reflection of STRUCTWEL’s commitment to operational excellence, outstanding customer service and a focused approach on building the brand. However, at the same time I believe a recognition from an apex body like CIDC is a great responsibility. One commits to putting more effort in the task of giving it back to the construction industry. Improving the quality of engineering human resource, is a field that I believe needs a lot of effort from the industry, and we at STRUCTWEL are committed to it.”

ICACI President, Radhika Markan commented: “The India Chapter is proud of the achievements of Mr. Chetan Raikar, a valuable member of our Board of Direction. Chetan and his company STRUCTWEL boast an impressive line-up of awards. Such awards motivate individuals and organizations to raise their performance in their specific domains leading to significant contribution towards the development of the Indian Construction Industry and the country as a whole.”
