- No Clay taken from agricultural areas or river beds
Only NATURAL additives
- Rise husk, saw dust as body fuel renewable
energy
- Coal ash and granite slurry as recycling product
from other industries
- NO TOXIC or CHEMICAL ADDITIVES
* The Governmnet spends Rs. 600 Cr. for desilting of over 1000 tanks in the Cauvery basin

WATER
Marginal use of water
- Clay itself contains the required water
- Only marginal quantities are added for
workability
Heat Recovery systems
- State of the art technology to minimize energy
consumption
- Heat Recovery from exhaust air of the kiln used
for drying process

Potential Savings
We carried out independent study on Structural design for Ground + 4 storey and
. Basement + Ground +12 storey
Saving potential on structural cost is 11 to 15% due to dead load reduction (wall
. weight) by 60%
Leads to savings in Steel & Concrete High Energy demand construction materials
Transport cost & natural resources (Fuel) is saved
Walling material compared for comparison

POROTHERM HP Application
Conduiting for electrical, plumbing
- Chasing, Chiseling similar to other type blocks/ bricks
- To be filled with rich mortar
- Plastered as a normal wall
