Introduction: INDIA consumes about 300 billion tonnes bricks, exhausting approximately 450 billion tonnes of clay every year and about 6000 acres of top soil land is made unfertile for a long period. The Government is seriously concerned over soil erosion for production of massive quantities of bricks, in the background of enormous housing needs. ENVIRO FLY-ASH CELLULAR Concrete Blocks (CLC) ENVIRO Concrete Blocks are high quality, lightweight concrete blocks produced, and using innovative technology from Germany to ensure highest quality to affordable prices. The available sizes of the concrete blocks shall be as follows: 1. 600mm x 200mm x 200mm 2. 600mm x 200mm x 150mm 3. 600mm x 200mm x 100mm Benefits and advantages: 1. large size, however light weight. Saves foundation cost, helps the mason 2. Substantial weight reduction (dead-load). Using them helps in the reduction of dead-load on the structure and consequently reduction in quantum of steel and also the size of foundations, columns and beams in the structure as compared to conventional walling material. 3. It’s strength gains momentum with time because of Pozzolana used, unlike clay bricks. 4. It’s supplied in ready-to-use form. No water has to be absorbed at site before use unlike clay bricks. 5. Easy handling, rapid construction 6. Optimum thermal insulation (From 500 to 700 % over conventional concrete). Resulting in enormous fuel savings for cooling down rooms, thereby making living environment inside the building more comfortable during summer and winter. In case of air-conditioning, energy cost can be reduced 40%. 7. Unsurpassed fire-resistance = life, property and insurance cost saver 8. Excellent sound absorption, ideal for the hospitality industry 9. Good workability (can be sawn, drilled, nailed, milled at site). 10. Hurricane and earthquake resistance 11. Savings in steel reinforcement in high rise. Lesser steel required for foundation due to less dead- load 12. Nails can be put with normal hammer. Can be cut to any size and shape with carpenter’s saw. 13. Low water absorption. It floats on water. 14. Increases Brick-layer’s Longevity: By lifting less weight every day a masons career is often extended. 15. Productivity increase: Since labor is usually 60% of wall cost, this increased productivity lowers the overall masonry wall costs. Get 28% more wall per day. 16. Environmental Friendly. Fly-ash is extensively used making it a GREEN product. No energy for curing required, no toxic or harmful additives required or released. * In extreme hot and cold environment, Thermal Insulation is a MUST. Walls and roofs should be insulated to avoid huge energy waste and at the same time to live in a comfortable cool/warm climate. It’s mandatorily used in Japan. very economical product that will make the masonry industry more competitive as we expand into the ENVIRO block is a future. ENVIRO Block offers the same reliable performance and benefits as medium weight block while enhancing several key properties including:
