ACC Concrete, a subsidiary of ACC, introduced an innovative concrete solution M–100 grade for construction of high intensity towers.
The company on Tuesday organised a live demonstration seminar of pumping special high tower concrete in Mumbai.
Vertical solution
It is for the first time in the world that M100 was manufactured without natural sand but by using fine aggregates, said the company.
The M100 concrete attains a high compressive strength of 100 MPa (1 MPa equivalent to 1 Newton force/ mm2) after 28 days.
ACC Concrete has become the only ready mix concrete company in India to offer specialised solutions for high intensity towers.
Mr Hans Fuchs, Managing Director, ACC Concrete, said vertical growth is seen as the only solution to meet the growing demand for space in metros in India.
Special mix
In Mumbai alone, 128 towers with height over 300 feet are planned to come up in the next three-four years.
Concrete pumping to such heights requires special mix of desired RMX grades, he said.
ACC Concrete is one of the largest manufacturers of ready mix concrete in India with over 51 modern plants in Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Goa, Chandigarh and Ahmedabad.
