Tripura’s first high-rise earthquake-resistant building aims for 2026 completion

Agartala: Tripura is poised for an infrastructural leap with the construction of its first G+14 high-rise government building at Gurkhabasti in Agartala, integrating cutting-edge earthquake-resistant technology and green building standards.

Tripura falls under seismic zone 5, and the 14-story administrative complex worth Rs 133.89 crore incorporates a pendulum-based base isolator, which can withstand earthquakes up to a magnitude of 8.8.

Kiran Gitte, Secretary, Public Works Department, said the building had received a four-star rating for green building safety.

The state expects the building to be fully operational by December 2026.

“This base isolator was designed and tested in the United States, with IIT Mumbai playing a crucial role in its implementation,” he said.

According to Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha, the main purpose of constructing this G+14 building using advanced technology is to bring all the directorate offices of the Tripura government under one roof.

“I am very happy because such a building has never been constructed in Tripura before. In India, there are only one or two similar buildings in places like Delhi and other major cities. Tripura falls under seismic zone 5, and recently, there was an earthquake in Myanmar that measured 8.2 on the Richter scale, causing significant damage,” the Chief Minister said.

CM Saha added, “This G+14 building, constructed with advanced technology, aims to consolidate all Tripura government directorate offices into a single location, streamlining services and minimizing public travel.”

The project is being implemented by the Public Works Department (PWD) and executed by Engineering Projects (India) Ltd. (EPI).

The G+14 building project, initiated with a foundation stone laying in January 2023, is progressing as planned.

The foundation work and installation of seismic isolators have been completed, and the building is projected to be fully operational by December 2026.

The pendulum-based isolator system, manufactured by Earthquake Protection System (EPS), California, USA, reduces seismic forces by allowing controlled movement during earthquakes.
