HPL’s
plant at Jangpura, New Delhi is the only plant
manufacturing Autoclaved Cellular Concrete
in Delhi. This light weight concrete, varying
in density from 300 Kg/M3 to 1000 Kg/M3 has
a smooth homogeneous texture and is strong
and sound. The product has a fire rating of
two hours. It is both termite and insect proof,
making it the ideal product for partition
walls and other applications and reduces load
on the building.
Autoclaved Cellular Concrete is manufactured
under elevated hydro thermal conditions. The
products produced are as follows.
1) Insulation blocks suitable for lining of
walls and roofs of air conditioned buildings.
2) Blocks for partitions and/or load bearing
walls.
3) Reinforced slabs for roofing/flooring or
cladding/partition walls.
The
product can be easily cut and plastered. It
can be nailed, easily bored through and its
surface can take all types of finishes. Cheaper
quality can also be made by mixing certain
quantities of fly-ash without sacrificing
structural strength.
HPL manufactures sufficient quantities of
the light weight cellular blocks to cater
to the present needs of Delhi.
The product is much favoured by cost-conscious
engineers who want to reduce the load on the
foundations. Examples are power plants, factories,
and hotels. |
