Advantages of Precast and Prestress Technology
Quality
Precast technology, by virtue of the industrial process involvement of casting under controlled ircumstances, adheres to the highest standards of quality control.
Speed and Strength
Precast concrete construction does jobs sooner. Depending on size and site conditions, flooring for a number of units can be laid in a single day. Use of higher grade concrete and steel than conventional makes it tructurally superior.
Long Life and Low maintenance
Research has proven that precast elements can ensure more than a 100 year life cycle which reduces the life cycle cost of projects. Precast technology assures uniform quality and eliminates leakage and cracks thereby reducing maintenance costs.
Cost Effective
Early possession, slabs and beams with longer spans at lower depths, lower structure weight, efficient use of resources with minimal wastage and shorter timelines, all contribute to an economic solution.
Weather and Fire resistant
Precast concrete is an all-weather construction material, equally effective in regions with freezing or corching temperatures. It is also non-combustible and does not melt, eliminating the need for additional fire proofing works.
Energy efficient
Prestressed concrete components can improve the thermal storage potential of a building. It effectively onserves energy required for heating and cooling.
Clean and Safe
No shuttering, scaffolding, material procurement and inventory needed on-site. Clutter free and safer site
Long spans
Prestressing allows for casting elements longer than those achievable by conventional systems. A typical 300 mm Hollow core Slab can span up to 16 m and T slabs up to 22m without intermediate columns and beams.
Design
Precast provides a structural platform which will give the architects and structural engineers greater freedom in designing virtually any layout.
Performance
High thermal mass of Precast combined with sound insulation reduces noise and provides an effective sound barrier between roads and urban noises.CLC Block
What is CLC Block?
A type of lightweight concrete known as cellular light weight concrete (CLC) is created in the same way as regular concrete under natural production conditions. It is created by first creating a slurry of cement, fly ash, and water, which is then combined with pre-formed stable foam in a concrete mixer while the environment is still ambient. Either the mixture is poured into prefabricated moulds or blocks. Due to the ball bearing effect of the foam bubbles, the foam gives free flowing qualities to this slurry, allowing it to freely flow into all corners and compact by itself in the moulds without needing any type of vibration or compaction.
Advantages of CLC Blocks
CLC Blocks are competitive with bricks in pricing and offer significant savings for finished structures. Savings in construction cost can be as much as 18% when using CLC Blocks, as compared to brick, after taking into account the resulting savings in gravel, cement, steel, labour, Structure, foundation etc.
- Thermal Insulation: This increasingly takes the top spot when it comes to building design and construction. There are several expensive ways to insulate a sandwich wall structure by adding various rigid insulation materials. While these methods can produce satisfying results mathematically, they are not necessarily the best choices for safety, health, or the environment. The ideal option is to include thermal insulation in the concrete mix, like that found in CLC that has been air-cured.Foam concrete used in clc has a thermal conductivity of about 0.05-0.15 Kcal/mh, which is 20–30 times higher than regular concrete.
- Weight reduction: Because CLC Blocks are only 1/3 as heavy as traditional bricks, handling and shipment are simple.The building's structure will need less steel and RCC thanks to this lightweight material.
- Fire Resistant: Air-embedded in the CLC contributes to the CLC's high fire-rating and fire resistance. A wall that is 13–14 cm thick and with a density of 1200 kg/m3 can withstand fire for 5 hours. A 400 kg/m3 layer of CLC that is only 10 cm thick causes the same delay. Other than that, CLC is non-combustible.
- Work Execution: Unskilled labour is generally used and a minimum skilled staff is required.Because bricks are lightweight, they can be built in two and a half times as fast as cement blocks and clay bricks.
- Environmentally friendly: It doesn't waste resources or produce pollution.
