KCIC has delivered its first foam concrete at Doha Land Project, Services Building. Foam concrete is for pipe and waterproofing protection. A very light concrete with density of less than 500 kilogram per cubic meter; cover for waterproofing membrane. Features and advantages of Foam Concrete:
•Reduced weight, compared with dense weight concrete, reduction in weight from 10% to 87% can be achieved.
•Substantial savings are achieved due to a lower deadweight of the building. •Fast construction speed specially for precast panel technology – typically half, when compared with conventional construction methods
•Fire rated to a minimum of 2 hours for a 75 mm (3") thick panel
•No obnoxious or toxic fume emission – no health hazards both in the manufacturing process and if product is subjected to heat (such as in case of fire).
•Ongoing savings on power / energy costs (for air-conditioning and heating) are very substantial because of its thermal insulation qualities.
•Foam Concrete can be sawn, sculptured with hand or common power tools and be penetrated by normal building nails and screws.
•Low water absorption because of its closed cellular structure
•Acoustic properties are such that sound is being absorbed, not reflected as is the case with dense weight concrete or brick walls.
