In the recent past, demand of some leading customers of the Company in certain markets has shifted from routine concrete mixes to concretes of higher grades and having special performance characteristics. The Company possesses adequate expertise to produce and deliver such concretes. After conducting extensive laboratory and field trials the Company has developed and produced the following special concretes: |
 |
|
|
|
High strength concretes (HSC) |
|
|
High performance concretes (HPC) |
|
|
High-volume fly ash concrete (HVFAC) |
|
|
Self compacting concrete (SCC). |
|
Self-compacting concrete produced in one of the plants of the Company being placed in position |
|
| |
|
|
Concrete grades of M50, M60, and M70 are now being produced satisfactorily from some of the Company’s plants. In addition, the Company has successfully demonstrated its capability of producing high-performance concretes with differing performance characteristics such as high-early strength, high flowability, stringent durability characteristics satisfying the specified water and chloride permeability properties, etc. |
At some locations, the Company has produced and delivered high-volume fly ash concrete (HVFAC), having around 50% replacement of ordinary Portland cement by fly ash. Further, the latest development in concrete technology, i.e. self-compacting concrete, has also been mastered by the Company’s technologists. |
| Aggregate |
Besides producing ready-mixed concrete, RMC-India also ventured in to Aggregates Quarrying and Processing business. With a modest beginning made in October 2000, the Company has established a total of seven aggregate crushing and processing facilities till date.
