| The raw materials used for Ready
mixed Concrete viz. cement, sand, coarse / fine aggregates,
admixtures and water are mixed at a centrally located
computer controlled batching plant that monitors weigh-batching,
water-cement ratio, dosage of admixture, moisture content,
etc. with precision to produce the Readymix Concrete. |
| The plant is capable of programming
multiple types of mixes for producing different grades
of concrete both automatically and manually. |
| Readymix Concrete is then transported
to the site in transit mixers, in plastic condition, without
affecting the composition. Transit mixers are trucks fitted
with rotating drums for carrying Readymix Concrete. The
capacity of the transit mixer is 7m3 and Neptune has enough
number of such mixers. |
| At the construction site , the Readymix
Concrete is placed by pumping with concrete pumps which
can pump upto 300 m horizontally and 70 m vertically (i.e
upto 20 floors), and @ 35 Cum/hr of concrete. This facility
equips Neptune to deliver its Readymix Concrete to places
which are otherwise difficult, time consuming and expensive
to deliver. |
|
| Apart from the normal Readymix Concrete,
Neptune has developed competencies to manufacture and deliver
different value-added concrete products like Colored and Textured
Concrete, Fibre Reinforced Concrete, High Performance Concrete
etc. The details are given below. |
| Coloured and Textured Concrete |
 |
Used in pavements, garden
paths, car parks etc. |
|
Concrete cast in situ and textured |
|
Incorporates colour hardeners that dramatically
increase abrasion resistance |
|
Wide variety of colours offered |
|
Textures with natural stone finishes such
as cobblestone, slate, random stone, tile etc obtained |
| Fibre Reinforced Concrete |
| Millions of virgin Polypropylene
Fibres uniformly distributed in all directions throughout the
concrete mix: |
|
Inhibit plastic shrinkage
cracks |
|
Increase abrasion resistance |
|
Reduce permeability |
|
Increase impact resistance |
|
Increases flexural strength |
|
Typical applications: pavements areas
and floors, roads and highways, airport runways and aprons,
warehouse and factory floors, high abrasion and impact zones |
| High Performance Concrete |
|
Incorporates Microsilica /
PFA / GGBS as binary or tertiary blends |
|
Very low permeability |
|
Increased resistance to chloride attack |
|
Improves sulphate attack, reduces absorption
and permeability |
