The Fire Engineering Research Laboratory (FERL) at Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar hosted a technical interaction meeting with representatives from Hilti as part of ongoing industry–academia collaboration efforts.
During the meeting, Hilti representatives and FERL researchers engaged in detailed discussions on construction safety, fire-resistant systems, anchoring technologies, and performance-based engineering solutions relevant to fire safety and structural applications. The interaction included technical briefings and on-site explanations of laboratory facilities and experimental setups.
The session provided an opportunity to exchange insights on real-world industry challenges, innovative engineering solutions, and potential areas for collaborative research and testing. Emphasis was placed on aligning advanced research capabilities at FERL with industry requirements to enhance safety standards and engineering practices.
Such industry engagements strengthen collaborative ties between academic research institutions and leading technology providers, fostering innovation, knowledge transfer, and practical impact in the field of fire engineering and built environment safety.
