2. When we talk about the modern construction industry, one needs to talk more about steel reinforced AAC walls. Steel reinforced AAC walls combine the advantages of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks with the structural strength of steel reinforcement. Think of it as a strong fist created by five fingers with individual strengths and traits. The Thumb stands for Safety as it reduces risk against fire and natural disasters. The Index Finger stands for Durability with AAC Walls being lightweight yet having enhanced longevity. The Third Finger stands for Economical where AAC Walls usage can increase savings by 5x times. The Forth Finger stand for Speed and Space as AAC Walls usage can increase construction speed by 6 times and its compact design can lead to increase in overall carpet area. The Last Finger stands for Sustainability as it installs with 98% less water. These Five Fingers come together and form a formidable Fist in form of Steel Reinforced AAC Wall. Surat based BigBloc Constructions has been a trailblazer by establishing India’s first AAC Wall Pant A joint venture between Gujarat based BigBloc Construction Ltd and Thailand’s SCG International Corporation Co., Ltd., (SCG International), SIAM Cement BigBloc Construction Technologies Pvt Ltd aims to provide best walling solution for Indian market.
