PROPERTYSCAPE ISSUE • JUNE • JULY 2012 ACC’s Self Compacting Concrete M-100 Grade Hans Fuchs, MD, ACC Concrete Ltd. Hans Fuchs, Managing Director, ACC Concrete Limited shares information about an innovative concrete solution. Q: Tell us about M-100 grade concrete? A: ACC Concrete Limited, India’s leading manufacturer of ready mix concrete and a subsidiar y ACC Limited, recently introduced an innovative concrete solution M–100 grade specially designed for the construction of high intensity towers in India. M-100 grade concrete, a specialized concrete solution, is a one stop shop offered by ACC Concrete for high strength and performance of vertical Hi towers in the country. Q: Could you share with us what makes this important? A: Insufficient availability of land is leading to subsequent scaling of land prices in mega cities like Mumbai. Buying land is no more a feasible option in cities and hence, the way to grow and expand vertically. To build up tall and high intensity concrete sk yscrapers, availability of right specialised Ready Mix Concrete (RMX) solutions is the most critical thing for builders in India. Q: You had a demo of the pumping process? A: Yes. Witnessing an upcoming trend of Vertical Hi Towers in India, ACC Concrete organized a live demonstration seminar of pumping Special Hi Tower Concrete at the ACC Thane complex. The demo-seminar showcased the process of pumping the special grade of concrete and the display of self compacting and temperature controlled and ‘M – 100 grade of concrete’ over 300 metres. Distinguished customers of ACC and major builders across the city attended the seminar and discussed the potential of using specialized concrete solutions for the upcoming high rises in the city. Q: I believe the demo made history of sorts? A: Yes, this was for the first time in India that M-100 RMX was pumped over length of 300m and for the first time in world that M-100 was manufactured without natural sand but using only manufactured fine aggregates. Q: Would you highlight the key characteristics of M-100 grade? A: ACC’s expertise in RMX is backed by 100 years of Global expertise from Holmic and 75 years of indigenous experience of ACC in India. Today, vertical growth is seen as the only solution to meet the growing demand for space in metros in India. In Mumbai alone, 128 towers with height more than 300 feet are planned to come up in next 3-4 years while 75 towers of height more than 300 feet already exist. Concrete Pumping to such heights requires special mix of desired RMX grades in which ACC Concrete specializes. Q: What is the milestone which this helps ACC achieve? A: ACC has added a significant milestone to RMX Pumping INTERVIEW contribution and innovations in the construction industry by manufacturing Self Compacting RMX of M100 grade. This concrete attains a high compressive strength of 100 Map (1 MPa equivalent to 1 Newton force/ mm2) after 28 days. With the introduction of M-100 grade, ACC Concrete has become the only ready mix concrete company in India to offer specialized solutions for high intensity towers in the country. CREDITS: ACC Concrete is one of the largest manufacturers of Ready Mix Concrete in India with over 51 modern plants in major cities including Mumbai. The company has contributed to landmark structures in India's metro cities. Its achievements include construction of iconic structures like J.J. Flyover, Mumbai-Pune Expressway, Sripati Arcade - Mumbai, the Indore-Dewas bypass, Kolkata and Delhi Metro Rail projects as also construction of mega housing projects, townships, commercial complexes, factories, bridges, flyovers, roads and railways.
