POZZOCRETE
…The First Three Years
Dirk India Private Limited
In the year 2000 virtually no fly ash was
being used in high quality concrete in India
WHY?
Through lack of awareness?
Many of the World authorities on fly ash..
Malhotra
Mehta
Naik
And our own Professor Ravindra Dhir
Indian by birth and most started their academic
careers here in India
Poor quality of Indian fly ashes?
Dirk did extensive testing of a number of Indian fly ashes
The quality varies but generally there are many
Good sources of fly ash in India
Lack of availability of fly ash?
Lots of collectors
Power Station Policy of
Fly ash for free
Lack of skills in the engineers?
Look around!
High quality structures built despite a
Poorly educated labour force
You can have the..
Knowledge
Material
Availability
Skill
But…..
CONFIDENCE
Fly ash is used for concrete
around the world – some countries
even import it for use in construction
They have the confidence in the product
Suitable national standards
Controlled sources of material
Competent companies supplying
Quality assured product
In late 2000 Dirk India Private Ltd
was set up to fulfil the needs of the
Indian Construction Industry
Since then……
About 5,00,000 m3 of concrete
has been produced
containing Pozzocrete
Authorities such as
M.S.R.D.C, CIDCO & Irrigation Department
allow quality assured fly ash in specifications
The first ISI Standard Mark in India for flyash
was awarded to DIRK
So why the change in three years?
That little phrase…….
…….28 days strength
We all know of the long term benefits
Increased durability
Better resistance
Longer term strength growth
We all know of the benefits in fresh concrete
Increased workability
Better cohesion
Reduction in heat
But it’s the bit in the middle that has made
The difference
The 28 day strength
Because Pozzocrete is sold to strict
Quality standards, Engineers have learned
that they can rely on achieving the strength
When they want it – every time
They can rely……
Confidence…….
The missing ingredient!
