ABOUT US | history

In the beginning was a man and his vision a colossus throbbing with dynamism and pulsating with energy. A man born to build. A man whose very presence was a source of inspiration.

Mr. John C. Gammon. The founder of Gammon India Limited. A Civil Engineer who can more aptly be called 'The Sculptor of Concrete in India'. A man who preached and practiced order and functional expression in structures - the enduring values that helped build the Gammon edifice.

• From monuments and bridges to reservoirs and jetties, his innovative vision and engineering skill, his intuitive understanding of the materials and systems of construction sought and fought answers to some of the most challenging examples in civil engineering projects.
• His abiding faith in people and their abilities inspired them to meet challenge after challenge.
• Mr. Gammon had several firsts to his credit. The RCC pile foundations for the Gateway of India, the thin shell structures of the Meerut Garages, the colloidal grouting process at Mundali Weir, the hyperbolic cooling towers at Sabarmati - are but a few of his outstanding achievements. Bridges like Bonum and Patalganga, built by him have stood the test of time as monuments to his ingenious skill.
• Today, Gammon India Ltd., not only carries his name and vision, but stands out as a Gateway for technological excellence in civil engineering.
