Modular Light Weight Concrete System

Advantages

The LWC is a versatile system, it is easily installed and allows easy access for embedding all the piping and cabling conduits with high flexibility thus reducing material wastage and labor.

A special concrete mix is pumped into the formwork through inlet points in the external bearing walls or floor/decks, such that within one shift a whole house structure is ready for finishing.

The light weight concrete can be pumped up to 150 meters horizontally and up to 100 meters vertically, making it accessible to multi-story buildings or high rise structures.

Easy to erect formwork, very light and sturdy, high labor productivity.

STARTA CO. has three ready mix designs based on our R&D, with variable density and insulation specifications to meet the different areas of application.

Mix designs can be customized to meet the client’s requirements.

The walls are shuttered using a light weight sturdy formwork system that can be hand carried and erected at a rate of 10 m2/hour per single laborer;

The system allows for flexibility in Architectural shapes.

The light weight concrete mixture can be poured on site.

STARTA CO. uses a customized mobile light weight concrete mixing machine with a built-in pump.
