Orbit is a 25-storey office building strategically located in the heart of Hyderabad’s IT Hub, constructed using precast technology. It is one of the tallest commercial buildings in India built with this method.

Constructed by Aurobindo Realty, the Orbit building was honored with the “Best Office Architecture India” award by the International Property Awards – Asia Pacific Property Awards 2018.

Designed with precast technology, the building is also proposed for LEED v4 Gold Certification from USGBC, demonstrating its commitment to environmental sustainability and energy efficiency.

Dextra’s Groutec couplers played a key role in precast element connections. Approximately 60,000 couplers were installed in precast elements at the precast factory before being transported to the construction site for grout connections.

With the growing demand for modular buildings worldwide—especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, where healthcare and quarantine facilities were urgently needed—Groutec couplers have become a widely adopted solution. They are designed and manufactured in compliance with Eurocode 2, BS 8110, ACI 318, IBC, and AASHTO standards.
