Once completed, the Shri Krishna Temple at Kurukshetra in the Indian state of Haryana will stand at 74m (243') tall.
The ACC RMX team formulated a special mix for the project, which could be pumped vertically to a height of 74m. RMX was transported 83km in its wet form and a total of over 100m3 RMX has been supplied to Ashram Trust for the temple construction.
“ACC has been a pioneer in ready mixed concrete, which has helped redefine the quality of construction," said Sridhar Balakrishnan, MD & CEO of ACC. "Being a part of a landmark project by formulating a special mix best suited for the structure, strengthens our ability to deliver cutting-edge building solutions and accelerate value creation."
ACC says that the use of RMX, which is manufactured under computer-controlled operations, is an environmentally-friendly practice that ensures a cleaner work place and causes minimal disturbance to its surroundings.
It adds that this makes its utility more significant in crowded cities and sensitive localities. While it delivers higher efficacy, it also ensures customer convenience as it can be transported in ready-to-use freshly mixed form, and can be custom-made to suit different applications.
ACC has been involved in the development of several major infrastructure projects in India such as the Bhakra Nangal Dam, the JJ Flyover in Mumbai, the Sainj Hydroelectric Power Project in Himachal Pradesh, and the Qazigund-Banihal tunnel in Jammu & Kashmir.
The company has also supplied its concrete products for the construction of metro projects in several cities such as Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai and Nagpur.
