INTRODUCTION
This world is changing day by day. Technologies are also changed
with time. Technological advancement leads business process in all new
different dimensions. Country like India is growing rapidly. Infrastructure
Development is in big bane. Development forms and methods are also
changed due to change in technology. In case of a conventional
construction of a building or any structure, the main source of raw
material is Sand bricks or Stones or wooden sheets as a wall. The new
concept for making wall has been developed that is Cellular Lightweight
Concrete (CLC) Bricks. It is a light weight, water resistant, fire- proof,
sound proof and environment friendly. The main feature of this bricks is
light in weight. Cellular Lightweight Concrete bricks are made of fly ash,
cement, and foaming agent. These can be extensively used in all building
constructional activities similar to that of common burnt clay bricks. The
CLC bricks are comparatively lighter in weight and stronger than common
clay bricks. Since fly ash is being accumulated as waste material in large
quantity near thermal power plants and creating serious environmental
pollution problems, its utilization as main raw material in the manufacture
of bricks will not only create ample opportunities for its proper and useful
disposal but also help in environmental pollution control to a greater
extent in the surrounding areas of power plants. In view of superior quality
and eco-friendly nature, and government support the demand for CLC
Bricks has picked up.

ABOUT NEW PROJECT

Cellular Lightweight Concrete Bricks (CLC) is produced by adding
millions of Micro-Sized air bubbles into a cement based mixture. The
addition of millions of air bubbles is achieved by using a Proprietary Foam
Generator to produce highly stable and injecting the Foam directly into a
concrete mixer containing a cement/ fly ash/ water slurry. The amount of
cement, sand (if included), water. Fly-Ash and foam included in the Light
weight Cellular concrete mix design depends on the required properties
(i.e. strength, thermal conductivity or durability).Also, depending on the
required CLC density and variance, an appropriate mixer is selected. The
hardened material consists of small-enclosed air bubbles thereby resulting
in a light weight stable cellular material with densities ranging from as low
300kg/m3 to 1800Kg/m3. The Hardened Material Consists Of SmallEnclosed Air Bubbles Thereby Resulting In A Lightweight Stable Cellular
Material With Densities Ranging From As Low 300kg/M3 To 1800 Kg/M3.
Good Curing gives strength and dimensional stability to Bricks. Bricks are
cured either by air curing or high-pressure steam curing procedure.
Because of great-Engineered properties, CLC Bricks have become popular
in wide range of applications in construction sector.

Advantages of CLC Bricks

Low thermal conductivity.
Thermal Performances 5 times better than clay bricks & 10 times
better than RCC
Interiors remain cool in summer and warm in cold winter days.
Savings in recurring energy costs in air-conditioning.
Ideal material for applications in cold storage rooms.

 It is possible to achieve even higher values depending upon the

thickness and the plaster.

Good Sound Insulation

Up to 37-42db sound reduction based on thickness.

Savings in recurring energy costs in air-conditioning.
Can fulfil required STC (Sound Transmission Class) rating.

Reduction of Dead Load

1/3rd the density of clay bricks.

Economic design: savings in cement and steel.
Enables faster construction.
Suitable for low-soil bearing capacity & seismic zones.
Facilitates construction of unplanned walls any where anytime.

Fire Protection
1. CLC Bricks offer great fire protection. With a just 100mm. thickness
of wall 1000 kg/m3,
2. CLC block offers fire endurance for heat transmission for 4 hours
without releasing any toxic fumes during.

Enhances Carpet Area

An engineered block, it can be offered in any thickness as per the

construction design. By using 150 mm thick Bricks in place of 9 inch brick,
the customer gets an additional 2% to 3% carpet area. The savings on
account of additional carpet area gained is more than the cost of Bricks

Other Advantages of CLC Bricks:

CLC offers economical POP or putty finish in internal partition walls.

Accurate size and shapes help in reducing plastering costs.
Better finishing of walls offers good amount of reduction in paints.
Eco-friendly.
Speedier Constructions.
Ease of Work ability.
Universal Acceptability.
Low Water Absorption.
