Robo Silicons heralds a new age in building construction materials and provides fresh impetus

The cycle of changes catches up with every industry or profession, old patterns, styles or techniques makes way for newer ones. When the same happens, the result is indeed starling; a coat of freshness comes about and makes for delightful sample of the same. They bring about that vital commodity called better and easier substance, cohesion and solidity. One such fine and young company in the city Robo Silicons (P) Ltd is just doing that. Just a year old new age company, it has already achieved much during the said period and looks all set to leapfrog to greater heights in the coming days.

Buildings have achieved greater sophistication of late, one sees highly sophisticated and refined taste brought into focus, the result, lots of swanky, sturdy and powerfully resistant buildings around us. But has anyone bothered what makes the same tick, the ingredients that go into the same? Majority of the people don’t seem to bother about the same.

Building construction industry is seeing the last of another past relic, that is, river sand and the entry of a newer and better technology, which crushes rock into finer substance devoid of impurities and the end result – Manufactured Sand. This new technique has been brought to Indian shores by Robo Silicons (P) Ltd with technology provided by a Swedish company. The company is the second of its kind in the Nation and the first in South India to achieve this creditable feat.

Brief Insight into the product technique

River Sand is a process, which has been around for as long as one will not be able to fathom, lakhs of years. It is a process, which has been basically brought about by forces of Mother Nature. Flowing water dashed against rocks and caused the softer and feeble material to break down and sprout out sand and silt. Subsequently, this elongated and flaky material smoothed out and rounded by itself, with fluctuation in the water flow velocity helping to form particles of different sizes, the same of which getting deposited in layouts of graded material. This river sand also contained impurities such as marine products, oversized material, clay and slit, moisture and other organic impurities. What resulted from the same – Poor Quality and Inferior Sand.

Another starling revelation too came into limelight, that is, through passage of father time, the above deposits have been mercilessly exploited and sadly not replenished at the same pace. The same caused a crisis of sort for the construction industry – acute shortage of river sand. Further making the whole issue shakier has been another revelation that the Govt. of India is contemplating a ban on river dredging in deference to the need for ensuring environment protection through preservation of underground water table.

This is where Robo Silicons (P) Ltd has come to play a very vital, useful and able role, It secured the help in the form of technology and equipment, of a known and respected Swedish company, Swedale, to crush rock into finer and refined substance in much the same way as Mother Nature did, but devoid of impurities.

The output – Manufactured and quality Sand called RoboS. This new development has come as a boon to builders, resulting in plenty of savings in cement plus terrific cost-reduction. Moreover, they brought about rich and fine quality touch up.

Build-up intricacies and such other ilk

The company has an extremely well constructed factory in Keesara Mandal of Ranga Reddy District. The same is well supported by the state-of-the-art equipment and a full-fledged in-house laboratory with the required staff to perform the work of manufacturing and testing of the said product. The company procures its sand from a single quarry, which ensures that its grading and quality is totally consistent and far superior to river sand. The other advantages of the product are:

High-Compression Strength: RoboSand particles possess uniform cubicle in shape aspectand possesses varying internal gradation. This in turn ensures lower uncomplicated voids and thus ensures greater and better compressive strength to concrete and help withstand the quirks of greater load fluctuations.

Greater and better durable factor: The better cohesiveness of RoboSand balanced physical and chemical properties and superior strength helps in warding off severe environment and climate change fluctuations. The same helps the buildings using RoboSand to counter years and years of nature pitfalls.

Does away with construction defects: Factors such as optimum initial and final setting time, refined fineness which help in warding defects as segregation, bleeding, honeycombing, voids and capillary is secured through usage of RoboSand.

Greater Economy Savings: It brings about far greater and a sort of unmatched savings and reduced wastage in overall project and cement costs.

Easy Availability: It is available in sufficient quantities and as and when one wants to.

Final Sum Up

Think and think over again…. The Government of India is in the process of imposing ban regulation norms on digging on riverbeds. This comes in the midst of growing environmental concerns and greater awareness of protection of nature bounties. When that happens river sand will become a scarce item. And what happens next, go for alternatives. The alternative is Guess what - Manufactured and quality sand “RaboSand”.

The company has on its client rolls such respected names as Concrete Priyadarshini (Ready mix Unit), L&T Concrete Mixing Unit, GE Capital International Services, Gandhi Medical College and Hospital, Army Dental College and numerous reputed builders and so on.

The company has come along beautifully, making rapid strides thanks to a combination of smart leadership and guidance of management, latest technology and equipment and above all sound work ethic. Mind you it is the second company in the country to possess such high quality and trustworthy product, that’s a marvellous achievement by any standards.
