To create awareness of blended cement among users, we constructed a Concrete Lab in June 2017. It was a brownfield project. The quality of concrete is exclusively dependant on the quality of its ingredients, mix design and the workmanship for concrete making and placing. We, therefore, use blended cements to develop our concrete mix designs.
The objective of the Concrete Lab is to demonstrate the quality of our concrete mixes in the presence of customers and assure them that concrete made with blended cements is also as durable as that made using OPC. Further, blended cements are cost-effective and eco-friendly as they utilise less natural raw materials and energy.
Benefits of the project
Several environmental benefits, such as savings in:
Energy
Water
GHG
Raw materials
Waste minimisation
Informs users about the properties of blended cement by practically showing them the strength of the cement
Impacts on GreenCo parameters
The Concrete Lab will encourage more customers to use blended cement, thereby reducing the harmful impact on the environment.
