MAGNUM Concretes Pvt. Ltd. is a complete eco-friendly, technology driven, green venture being set – up at Barang, Orissa. Barang is strategically located being the epicenter of fast developing cities of Orissa like Bhubaneswar, Khurda, Cuttack and Chaudwar.
MAGNUM Concretes Pvt. Ltd. utilizes Fly-Ash as the prime raw material, an indispensable by-product of thermal power plants, which is an environmental threat across the Globe. Coal rich Orissa has seen an ever-increasing chain of thermal power plants that are facing an ever increasing challenge to dispose this polluting agent. MAGNUM Concretes Pvt. Ltd. has taken up the challenge to establish the first and only fully automated Fly Ash Bricks and Blocks Unit in the state of Orissa. Applying state-of-the-art technology, the company is committed to optimize costs to the benefit of its stakeholders, primarily the common man.
With a production capacity of two lakhs bricks per day, it aims to solve the problem of ever increasing building material prices to some extent by selling its bricks at a relatively lower price compared to the conventional red bricks. However, the company assures quality and strength of the Eco-Friendly bricks it produces.
Fly Ash Utilization is just the first eco-friendly aspect of the project. Secondly, it also helps the environment by saving the invaluable top soil by not using it for brick making like conventional brick making. Thirdly, this modern brick needs no burning, thus further enhancing the Eco-Friendly Brand. Due to the eco friendliness of the bricks, they are often referred to as Eco Bricks or popularly Green Bricks.
Advantages of Fly- Ash Bricks:
1. Higher strength bricks
2. Easier and faster masonry & brick-working
3. Less mortar in brick work
4. Less mortar in plaster
5. Gains strength over time
6. Walls can be left exposed/un- plastered
7. Better heat & sound insulation compared to red bricks
8. Far less breakage while handling & transportation
9. Better vibration resistance as compared to the conventional red bricks
Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) & Carbon Credits:
MAGNUM Concretes Pvt. Ltd. has initiated steps to get enrolled into the CDM program to earn carbon credits, also technically known as Certified Emission Reductions (CERs), on the basis of its non-pollutant emission nature. It is estimated that, at present production capacity, the company will make around 14,000 carbon credits (CERs) per annum.
In this connection we have signed an Emission Reduction Purchase Agreement(ERPA) with Zeroemission, Spain, for executing the CDM project, and for Transfer & Sale of CERs that will be generated as a result thereof.
