How GRC Is Revolutionising Commercial Construction in Mumbai

Image
In the rapidly changing skyline of Mumbai, innovation remains paramount— GlassReinforced Concrete (GRC) is emerging as one of the most revolutionary materials for use in commercial construction. GRC's application in design, concrete slicing, and building sections makes it a preferred material to Mumbai’s architects, engineers, and contractors. As one of India's ever-busy metropolises, Mumbai is witnessing strides toward full utilisation of advanced technologies within its infrastructure, owing it all to the GRC. What Makes GRC Unique? GRC is a composite material made from a mix of cement, fine aggregates, water, and alkali-resistant glass fibres. The result is a product that is lightweight yet incredibly durable. Unlike traditional concrete, GRC can be moulded into thin, intricate shapes without compromising strength. This makes it ideal for commercial applications where aesthetics, speed, and efficiency matter. Lightweight and High Strength: Perfect for Mumbai’s High-Ri...

How GRC Enhances Waterproofing and Durability in Mumbai Monsoons

Image
  Mumbai, characterised by an extraordinarily dense urban verticality (think concrete skyscrapers to the clouds) and localised, erratically timed monsoon moisture events, presents several challenges to builders, architects, and property owners. High humidity, continuous rain, and the coastal air are some of the contributors to the relatively high rate of decay that we are experiencing with our buildings' exterior surface materials. Add that to the severe rain of the monsoon, and needless to say, our buildings are in a relentless war with the elements. There are many products we can use here as GRC offers waterproofing, durability, and ultimately, design possibilities. Here's an outline of some of the many benefits of GRC to structural performance and durability in Mumbai during the monsoon season. GRC: Built for Harsh Weather Conditions GRC is a composite material consisting of cement, fine aggregates, water, chemical admixtures, and alkali-resistant glass fibres. Due to its li...
