Advantages
Advantages of Pavements with pavers
1.
Easy and speedy installation : Large areas can be completed in very short
time
2.
No Curing, No waiting : As paver fixing requiresno mortar or cementing
material te pavement can be opened to traffic immediately ater
installation
3.
Easy Maintenance : Pavers can be extracted from the damaged area's &
refitted again with minimum breakage, labour and in minimum time & cost.
There is no patch work & potholes, cracks as in case of RCC & Bitumen
paving.
4.
Underground repairs & Maintenance easy : laying of pipeline / conduit /
cables / trenches etc. is very easy as pavers can be removed & refitted in
minimum cost & time
5.
Excellent Drainage : Pavement made by pavers have crevice which put the
water back into the ground. The sand bed underneath provides excellent
drainage & eliminates water logging therefore water does not accumulate on
interlocking paver pavements.
6.
Stops Fire / Spills from Spreading : The crevices in the pavement curtais
fires and spills to where ever they start due to spillage getting soaked
into he crevices and high fire rating of concrete interlocking blocks.
7.
Reusability : Pavers can be reused imparting in flexibility for planning
and replanning.Large areas can be shifted at a later dat if required with
very little breakage
8.
High Strength and durability : pavers have a compressive strength of 250
kgs/ sq.cm and above therfore they are extremely duable and long lasting.
9.
Load Transfer : Pavers have a unique ability to tranfer vertical loads
from unit to unit. sand joints between the pavers transfer tloads through
shear, thereby spreading loads over a large area and reducing stress to
the sub-base. transfer of loads through joints enables pavement to act as
a flexible interlocking systems, rather than a loose collection of units
and thus a suitable replacement of reinforced concrete or asphalt.
10. Excellent aesthetics : Pavers are available in different
colours, thus different areas can be highlighted like parking ways,
traffic lanes etc. which add to the overall aesthetics of your
environment.
11. Excellent skid resistance : the slight rough texture (semi smooth) and
tapered edges of the pavers gives good skid resisting properties to the
pavement, making it safe even during monsoons for drive ways/ path ways
and other traffic areas.
Advantages of Gurjari's Concrete Blocks for
Construction
1.
Rugged Strength, Durable and minimum drying shrinkage : Gurjari's concrete
blocks are made in a fully automated high tech plant by a process which
involves : compaction by high pressure and vibration. The blocks are steam
cured. because of law water cement ratio, perfect grading and special
curing process the shrinkage is minimum and comprehensive strength of 60
kg/cm2 and above, which is 100% strong than bricks hence more durable.
2.
Cost wise economical than conventional brick work : Block masonry is
economical than brick masonrys. More over 140m thick block masonry is
equivalent to 230 mm thick brick work and one can use 140mm thick block
masonry instead of 230 mm thick brick masonry in framed structures
3.
Lighter Foundations : As a m2 of 140 mm thick block work @ a density of 1920 kg/m3 weigh 441 kg/m2
i.e the dead weight is reduced by 56%. This does an overall cost saving of
12% to 15% in concrete & steel in multistoreyed buildings.
4.
Saving in shuttering : Shuttering in RCC parapets and pardis can be
totally avoided by going for reinforced block partition masonry with cross
stiffening by bond beams. One sq.ft of 3 inch RCC pardi has a concrete of
Rs. 8/- while 2 sq.ft of shuttering which cost of Rs. 20/- can be totally
saved. RCC column in compound wall can be eliminated using hollow blocks
thus saving shuttering cost.
5. Saving
in Plaster : one can avoid plaster for internal walls or minimise the
thickness as the masonry's surface is perfectly plumb. Plaster cost is
nearly 35% of the wall cost.
6.
Saving in Energy : Because of the insulating properties one can save upto
40% in air conditioning cooling and heating costs.
7.
Saving in mortar : cement consumed in block masonry is nearly 4 to 6 times
lesser than in brick masonry
8.
Lower maintenance cost : being made of superior and inherently durable
material block masonry requies lesser maintenance cost compared to brick
masonry ( there is no leekage or seepage)
9.
Speed : Construction speed of block masonry is two times as comapred with
brick masonry
10.
Excellent thermal & accoustic properties : gurjari's block on account of
the hollow acts as insulant and keeps building warm in winter and cool in
summer. moreover concrete nlocks absors 10% of the sound waves hence it is
a better accoustic material than the bricks
11.
Concealed Fittings : Without any sort of chasing or any sort of
pre-planning concealed electrical wiring and plumbing is easily possible
with gurjari's block masonry. contact us for further details.
12.
Increase in carpet area : About 10% increase in carpet area is acheived by
using 140 mm thick block work instead of 230 mm thick brick wall.
13.
No Effloresence " effloresence or salt peter action is practically
eliminated.
14.
convenieny sizes : gurjari's blocks are available in over 30 convenient
sizes and shapes. on account of excellent strength and wide range there is
practically no wastage at site
15. Good
resistance to fire : Alongwith good carrying capacity, gurjari blocks
provide maximum fire reistance. however steel needs protection from the
fire concret ,masonry offers this protection to a great extent. besides,
building constructed with concrete blocks attract lower insurance premium
rate.
16.
Confirms to indian Standard : Gujari's blocks confirms to is 2185 (part 1)
grade b (5.0)
17.
Excellent for covering under ground cables : telephone and electric
transmission lines can be covered by using blocks thus making them safer
and easier to maintain
