CEMENT
The foundation of a building needs special
attention. The conditions that it is subject to are very
different from those faced by any other part of the building.
It is constantly attacked by harsh sub-soil chemicals and
brackish water. It is the lowest part of the building, so
if there is a damage it is difficult to repair it.
Dalmia
SUPERFOUNDATIONTM
- Is a superior quality cement specially designed to cater
to the needs of different kinds of foundations. Its special
formulation with ultra-low C3A provides extra
protection against the harsh sub-soil chemicals and brackish
water. Its non-permeable structure ensures that no water
enters the foundation, giving a solid base for the constructions.
Foundations made with Dalmia SUPERFOUNDATIONä are expected
to have a life, 10-15 times longer, than those made with
ordinary cements.
