Building Products  
  ECC manufactures and supplies building materials. ECC manufactures 'System Formwork' components in steel and timber. ECC supplies and places in position 'Ready Mix Concrete' - the high quality concrete of various grades to meet individual customer requirements at their premises.
 
 
FORMWORK
 
L&T Formwork : ECC undertakes design, fabrication and supply of formwork systems for various applications. ECC manufactures and markets these formwork components in India and neighbouring countries. ECC also offers project consultancy services and provides experts for on-site training. Systems marketed include large-area wall formwork, column formwork, flex system for RC floors upto 4.5m, heavy-duty towers for heavy and tall floors above 5m in height, automatic climbing formwork system and advanced formwork systems, like Frami, used for casting RC walls and columns.
 
ECC's state-of-the-art plant at Pondicherry manufactures H-16/H-20 timber beams with a capacity of about 6 lakh running metres per annum. A production plant for manufacture of steel components up to 5000 tpa is also a part of the formwork unit.
 
Slipform: Slipform means a continuously moving form, moving at such a speed that the concrete when exposed, has already achieved enough strength to support the vertical pressure from concrete still in the form as well as to withstand nominal lateral forces. This system is more suitable for structures with uniform cross-sections or uniformly varying cross-sections. Slipform technique of continuous construction is used for cores of multi-storeyed structures, tall chimneys, vertical silos and RCC pylons...... ECC has completed 307 structures using slipform technique (Total area - 12,38,644 sq.m and height - 13,530m).
 
Tunnel Form: With the help of tunnel forms, room size walls and slabs can be cast together like a portal in a single pour of concrete. To facilitate removal of the form, block work or precast walls are provided for the facade. Generally these forms are made of steel components and result in high productivity by repeated usage. This is ideally used for construction of mass system housing.
 
READY MIX CONCRETE
 
L&T Concrete is produced at Ready-Mix-Concrete (RMC) plants at Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Coimbatore, Tirupur, Madurai, Delhi, Bangalore, Mysore, Hyderabad, Vizag and Kolkata. RMC comprises cement, aggregates, water and other ingredients which are weigh-batched at these centrally-located plants. It is then delivered to the construction site in transit mixers.
 
The key to the effectiveness of L&T Concrete lies in the technology used at all stages - from mixing to delivery. L&T's experience in the cement industry - both as a leading manufacturer and major consumer for all its own projects - ensures that technology used and the quality of concrete are on par with international standards.
