Ferrocement Applications

We are Civil Engineers, specialised in FERROCEMENT construction techniques. Our

activity is largely concentrated on ferrocement tanks for storage of water, oil chemical,
petroleum products etc, containers, elevation treatment, sloping roofs, domes, resort
structures, water proofing treatments, manhole covers, heavy duty floors wall cupboard
systems. Low cost houses, anti-corrosive treatment, rehabilitation works, site cabins, etc.
Ferrocement structures have advantage over the conventional materials like RCC steel, Ferrocement
wood and plastic as these are durable strong, waterproof and also competitive in price structures
generally. Ferrocement structures are constructed using ferrocement plates made on
machinery set up. These plates are joined suitably to make different components such as Highrise
footings, columns, beams, floors walls, roof, dome structural plates other structures such buildings
as tanks, containers, silos, floating dock etc are constructed. The Quality of ferrocement
works are better assured because the components are manufactured on machinery set Inbuilt
up. Moreover, the execution time at work site is reduced, contributing least shutdown. Ferrocement
Maintenance cost of ferrocement structures is almost negligible. Structural

1. TANKS, CONTAINERS AND SILOS Mini

We manufacture tanks for storage of water and other materials such as structures
chemicals, petroleum products and powders with suitable coatings/linings
wherever necessary. The tanks give very satisfactory service. It can be

2. FLOORS AND ROOFS
We construct floors, roofs for residence, office, Earthquake
factories, sheds, using ferrocement columns, resistance
beams and panels.

3. HEAVY DUTY FLOORS TILES resistance
These tiles have steel plates on the top surface and are suitable for loads
which cause heavy wear and tear impact in the warehouses and workshops. Ferrocement -

4. WATERPROOFING resistant
We carry out durable waterproofing using our
material of
Ferrocement membrane technique. This is structural treatment which prevents
construction
cracks formation by layers of wire mesh in the membrane. The vibrated
cement matrix used is of high quality having more strength and very superior
waterproofing property. Roofs

5. MANHOLE COVERS Rainwater

We manufacture manhole covers, heavy duty harvesting
as well as light duty which are far superior and durable as compared to
conventional ones.

We manufacture wall cupboard with and without
shutters for storage of office records and factory materials as well as for
domestic purpose. Vehicular

7. ANTICORROSIVE MEMBRANE TREATMENT
We provide ferrocement anticorrosive membrane treatment, frequent painting is Foot bridges
not necessary and no other special treatment is called for, for several years. If the
area is highly polluted, epoxy or polyurethane treatment is also required. Thus Irrigation
there will be considerable saving in maintenance cost.

8. FERROCEMENT BUILDINGS
We construct ferrocement residential, office building with floors, roofs and walls
Swimming
using ferrocement columns, beams, and panels systems. With this systems, there pools
is reduction in consumption of cement and steel and almost no shuttering is used.
Dead weight of Ferrocement buildings is almost 50 % to that of RCC building. Ships, boats,
barges, docks
9. FERROCEMENT DUCTS
We construct efficient ferrocement ducts with thin sides suitable for circulation of Ferrocement
cool or hot air. These ducts are structurally strong and are capable of resisting Furniture
atmospheric damaging effects and are definitely better than conventional ones.
Ferrocement ducts require supports at large intervals.

10. REHABILITATION OF STRUCTURES

Ferrocement membrane protective layer is a superior technique for repairs to
damaged / deteriorated structures as compared to guiniting. Ferrocement
membrane consists of layers of closely spaced wires which prevent crack
widening. The cement matrix is in proportion of about 1:2 and has admixtures
which reduce shrinkage and develop early high strength. The matrix is vibrated
locally using light vibrating tools. Finish of the membrane is just like plaster
as against the normal rough finishing of guiniting. It is generally noticed that heavy
corrosion of RCC structures takes place at the junction of beams and columns
and occasionally on the seaward side. It is possible to carry out local patchwork of
ferrocement treatment in such cases, leaving the other area in good condition

untouched. Thus the original strength of the structure is restored. Ferrocement
lining is used for rehabilitation of damaged and deteriorated sewer lines, water
supply steel pipelines.

11. CHEMICAL RESISTANT TREATMENT

Ferrocement membrance with an overlay of epoxy, bitumen, polyurethane,
chlorinated rubber, lead lining and glass fibres will be an ideal chemical resistant
treatment. There will be a good bond between ferrocement membrance and
anticorrosive overlay. The consumption of overlay will reduce substantially. The
treatment will be structurally strong. So there will be less chances of anticorrosive
membrance getting ruptured.

12. IRRIGATION STRUCTURES

Ferrocement plates are used for construction of canals, gates over dams, cross
drainage works, aqua ducts, check dams, penstocks etc.
Ferrocement lining is used as waterproofing and abrasion resistant treatment as
required.

13. RURAL APPLICATIONS

Ferrocement technology can be a suitable application in rural areas for
construction of cattle sheds, silos for storage of food grains, Low cost houses,
community centers, well linings, gobar gas plants, lavatory blocks water storage
tanks, etc.

14. MARINE APPLICATIONS

Marine structures constructed with ferrocement are better than steel and wood.
Boats, trawlers, Barges, floating docks etc have been constructed in ferrocement
and are giving satisfactory service. Ferrocement resists marine atmosphere and
unlike steel, the corrosion phenomena is negligible. Wooden boats are attached
by marine bores and damaged due to warping, cracking, joint opening, aging, etc.

15. ELEVATION TREATMENT

Elevation treatment such as fins, projections - curved, folded and hollow, sun
shades to the building have been provided with advantage. The thickness being
much less as compared to RCC, there is dead load reduction. Elevation with very
small thickness of 20mm - 40 mm is not possible with RCC
