NERDC
Status Summary
2001 Census• Shortage of housing > 200,000• Another 1,000,00 or more sub-standard units needed improvement
Tsunami of December 2004• >70,000 units completely destroyed• >30,000 partially damaged
Annual demand for new houses ~ 100,000

Meeting Challenges Thro’ innovative technology
Technological shift achieved thro’
•Introduction of pre-cast standardised building components to house construction•Minimising in-situ construction•Minimising usage of sand & timber•Introduction of new and cheaper raw materials•Size reduction of components by new and better structural designs•Minimising the use of indirect materials•Minimizing skill labour requirement by newer construction methods•Reduction of wastage by centralised mass manufacturing of building components
New areas needing attention
•Soil investigations in Tsunami affected land
•Provision of shelter in disaster situations
•Newer structural designs & construction techniques for withstanding disasters
•Newer financing mechanisms for low income groups
Good Governance in providing shelter
Organisational Framework
Ministry of Housing and Construction
National Housing Development Authority – Main facilitator for fulfilling nations housing needs(low income groups)•Review•Planning•Ownership•Motivation•Management•Infrastructure
Other institutions directly involved in the provision of shelter
• Ministry of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources• Plantation Human Development Trust• Private property developers – high end customers• Individual house builders NERDC
Good Governance in providing shelter -contd
Housing Development regulatory bodies
• Urban Development Authority- Issue permits for urban housing projects
• National Physical Planning Department- Integration of social, physical & env. Issues- housing designs to suit env.- new township development
• Central Environmental Authority- Env. Protection license (EPL)- EIA
• Coast Conservation Department- regulates developments in the coastal zone
• Land Reclamation and Development Corporation- reclaim land earmarked for development
Institutions Providing Utility Services
• Ceylon Electricity Board• National Water Supply and Drainage Board
NERDC
Future activities
• Incorporate new technology into national standards• Include new technology in the specifications of government buildings• Expedite training of manpower • Train consultants – regional level• Induction programmes to local government officials

Pilot Projects
Policy•NERDC buildings to use this technology•Special materials to be supplied by NERDC, until industry takes over (imported items)•NERDC to undertake construction of buildings with potential entrepreneurs as sub-contractors for a specified period of time• Govt. buildings of different categories
e.g. Schools, commercial, hostels, offices, etc.• Houses, both housing projects and individual• A few NERDC buildings • Joint operation between NERDC and prospective entrepreneurs (Licensees)• First few pre-stressed/pre-cast concrete yards
Dissemination of the New Technology - contd.
Technology transfer
Training &Awareness
• Transferred the building construction technology to nearly 400 potential entrepreneurs.• Established 20 pre-stressed yards to manufacture concrete building components• Established nearly 100 entrepreneurs to manufacture concrete building components
• Has conducted 41 training programmes on cost-effective housing technology and over 1500 participated during the last 15 yrs• Participated in 34 exhibitions between 2002 and 2005• Conducted 31 awareness programmes between 2002 and 2005• Produced brochures containing details and type plans of model houses
Support services
• Imported HTS wires in bulk and distributed to the manufactures of pre-stressed concrete components. Until mid 2004 only.• Pilot project are undertaken to train and to give confidence to prospective entrepreneurs• Regular programmes are held for the benefit of licensees to impart technological development•
Monitoring & feed back
• Monitored the progress of licensees so as to ensure quality of work and to obtain feed back information for future developments• Licenses are required to be renewed yearly in order to ensure continuity and progress • Licensees are summoned on regular basis to discuss problems and find solutions for them.• Licensees are trained for improving their entrepreneurship and business acumen
