How We Became the Leaders in Diaphragm Wall Construction in India
Building strong foundations for a glorious future
Heritage Infraspace Pvt Ltd (HIPL) is an Ahmedabad-based award-winning, ISO 9001: 2015 accredited construction company in India with over a decade’s experience in diaphragm wall construction. We are pioneers of ground engineering solutions for commercial and residential construction projects In India, such as diaphragm wall in basement construction, as well as, deep foundation projects. HIPL also provides critical geotechnical solutions for leading metro construction companies in India, dam projects and subway systems.
HIPL was founded in March 2011, by Gagan Goswami, a civil engineer with a rich and extensive experience of over 16 years, working across construction projects in India and the Middle East, for companies such as ITD Cementation Ltd and Reliance Industries. He decided to start his own engineering construction company in India, without any financial backing, built entirely from the ground up.
What motivated Gagan to start HIPL was his observation that open excavation projects were replete with accidents, causing financial loss, but more importantly a loss of precious human life. Through his research and experience abroad he realised that both the quality of work and safety of workers was taken a lot more seriously abroad. So he decided to introduce some of this innovation in underground construction to India. Introducing diaphragm wall construction, a European method of constructing a slurry wall, while building basements for commercial and residential projects. Apart from safety, this also improved the timeline of constructing major projects. As the company grew, HIPL added other services such as piling, anchoring, waterproofing, RMC and more.
In all this, engineering excellence and continuous innovation remain the core values of the company. HIPL operates across 11 Indian states and more than 25 cities. We have completed over 300 projects, built 42 kilometres of diaphragm walls, and installed over 50,000 anchors, with a devoted team of over 450 of our Heritage family members.
Meet Gagan Goswami, our founder
Mr. Gagan Goswami comes from a family of teachers in the small village of Gandhisagar in Madhya Pradesh’s Mandsaur region. He began his career as a training engineer, working on numerous projects around India. For four years, he worked as an independent consultant on building projects in Oman, Muscat, and Dubai, gaining international experience.
Upon his return to India, he formed HIPL with just 8 team members, and pioneered the use of diaphragm walls for deep basement construction as an important element of underground construction. Under his leadership, HIPL’s focus on worker’s safety, as well as, the use of new technology and machinery in all our projects has made us the leaders in this segment, which we have helped establish in India.
