The
factory also produces various concrete products
which are needed for fast construction work.
These include:
1) Portal frames and sections.
2) Prestressed concrete electric poles.
3) Fencing posts.
4) Precast columns.
Reinforced concrete columns, beams, purlins,
stiffeners, portal legs etc. are also cast
in the factory according to the clients' requirements.
The use of precast concrete elements for
roofing and flooring can greatly accelerate
the pace of construction and make site supervision
relatively easier, resulting in saving of
essential raw materials, thus economising
on the overall construction costs.
Amongst the various types of roofing/flooring,
the use of precast channel slabs, batten
and plank system have been found to be of
special importance in low cost housing for
the economically weaker sections of the
society.
The use of channel units leads to saving
in consumption of cement of around 30% and
steel around 25% vis-à-vis cast-in-situ
slabs. Over and above, there is significant
savings in the construction time which leads
to earlier return on investment.
The company has a very well equipped Laboratory
which ensures quality right from the input
stage to the testing of the final products.
Numerous process controls being exercised
in the Factory ensure uniform quality of
products.
For their slum development work, the Delhi
Development Authority utilised the services
of HPL in manufacturing large quantities
of precast drains for improving urban slums.
These drains which are re-usable, can be
uprooted without much effort and laid at
a new site. |
