The recognized enefits of a reduced Water/Cement - ratio are increased durability and increased concrete strength. The water savings are very often forgotten. In times of droughts in India saving of water used in construction becomes an important factor. On average for any 10% OPC replaced by POZZOCRETE 2.5% of water is reduced. Read more what that means in real figures......
DIRK India produces AMBUJA HiRise Cement containing 35% of processed fly ash (active Pozzocrete) . This Pozzolan Portland Cement permits a substantial reduction of the Water/Cement ratio other Pozzolan Portland Cements can not achieve.
We have looked at one local project in Nashik (India):
With all other technical benefits of Ambuja HiRise cement, also has an excellent potential to save millions of litrers of water in the construction industry Due to the use of processed fine and superfine fly ash, the use of Ambuja HiRise cement allows on an average 10% saving of water in concrete whilst achieving similar or better workability. For a project of the stracture of the recently nearly finished prestigious Nashik flyover project which needed about 1.75 lac cubic meters of concrete, the savings of water if Ambuja HiRise would have been used, would have amounted to 2.8 million litres.
