Consumption of cement generally 400-750kg per m3 Reinforcement
» Cover to reinforcement-2.5 mm-5mm. cover to fibres - nil
» Fine aggregate-particle size 400 micron - 3 mm.
» No coarse aggregate.
» Generally no shuttering.
» Admixtures are mostly used for anti- rusting, workability, high strength, anti-shrinkage, water proofing and pollution resistance.
» Min. thickness 10mm and maximum 60mm or so.
» Homogenous isotopic material at the initial stage, and gains a monolithic format after construction.
» Fire resistant up to 750°C for a period of 48 hours or even more.
Cost effective/eco- friendly houses, buildings- constructed with foundation, basement, walls, any shape roofs etc. all in Ferrocrete Technology, can reduce the total expenditure of the construction to minimum 30% less than that of conventional type construction. Dead weight of Ferrocrete buildings is almost 50% to that of RCC building.
For up stair buildings: where there is the ground floor not strong enough to bear the load of a conventional type building on first floor.
For special shaped buildings, farm houses, church facades, shell houses, etc. where aesthetic appearance to be highlighted.
Ferrocrete partition walls constructed in RCC framed structures like flat, commercial complexes etc. provide more strength and durability compared to the brick wall and consumes lesser space.
» Low Budget Houses - oblique Buildings, Shell Houses, Resort Structures, Church Facades- Domes, Architectural Elements, False Ceiling Panels, Sunshades, Partition Walls, Light Weight Roofs, Heavy Duty Floors, Kitchen Cabinets, Wall Cupboard Systems.
» Tanks for storage of water, oil, chemicals
» Bio- gas plants
» Effluent and waste water treatment systems
» Rehabilitation works
» Landscape elements
» Fish ponds
» Swimming pools
» Plunge pools etc.
