Mumbai in particular is leading the race to build some of the region’s tallest structures. For builders the availability of right specialised Ready Mix Concrete (RMX) solutions becomes most critical. Recognizing this trend, ACC Concrete has developed a special grade of Ready Mix Concrete eminently suitable for high rise complexes. The demo-seminar showcased the process of pumping the new special M100 grade of ACC concrete over a spread of 300 metres to display the self-compacting and temperature-controlled features of this concrete. A new self compacting temperature controlled concrete offering to strengthen India’s high intensity towers. This is the first time in India that M100 RMX was pumped over a length of 300m equivalent to 200 metres or about 650 feet in vertical height); it is also the first time in the world that M100 grade concrete was manufactured without natural sand and instead using only manufactured fine aggregates. ACC Concrete is now the only ready mix concrete company in India to offer specialized high strength solutions for high intensity towers.ACC Limitied: www.acclimited.com
