Cellular light weight concrete, also known as foamed concrete, foamCrete, Foam concrete or reduced density concrete, is defined as cement basedslurry. It is a light weight, water resistant, fire- proof, sound proof andenvironment friendly.
The main feature of this block is light in weight. Cellular LightweightConcrete blocks are made of fly ash, cement, and foaming agent. These can beextensively used in all building constructional activities similar to that ofcommon burnt clay blocks.
The construction industry is very vital because anybody who isconcerned with economic development these days highlights the need forinfrastructure development. The infrastructure is in the form of roads, ports,buildings, factories and so on, and all of them involve construction.
The excellent mechanical properties and durability of CLC Blocksenlarges its scope for application in building construction and development ofinfrastructure, construction of pavements, dams, tanks, under water works,canal lining and irrigation work etc. Enormous quantities of CLC and fly ashare available in and around thermal power stations in all the states.
This industry is in its mature stage and is expected to exceleffectively in developing countries. The growth in industrialization and IT hasfuelled the expansion of the construction industry, especially in emergingcountries. Significant changes in the industrial sector have triggered thedevelopment of the overall infrastructure of many regions. Eventually, thedemand for durable products has in turn triggered the manufacturing of CLCblocks. The market would discover opportunities and is expected to exceleffectively in industrial applications.
