Disposal of solid waste materials such as fly ash, waste plastics, scrap tyres, waste glass, steel slag, and in particular demolished concrete, has become a serious problem of worldwide significance. The recycling of this material is known as RSW (Recycled Solid Waste). The use of RSW materials in construction has been hindered by difficulties in achieving consistency, quality and acceptable performance when high proportions of RSW material is used.

 

Our team has developed a unique pre-setting pressure technique along with the use of geo-polymers to overcome these issues. As a result a large volume of RSW can be utilized in producing various building products, including structural concrete components (such as beams, columns, slabs, piles, poles, railway sleepers, bridge girders, tunnel segments and retaining walls) or non- structural components (such as tiles, bricks, pavements, drainage pits and sewer pipes)
