Title:

Development of Naturally Red Coloured Paver Blocks Using Red Soil Stabilization Technique

Value Proposition:

Develop a red coloured paver blocks using red soil, by soil stabilisation technique. The paver block gets pleasant, naturally red colour with reduced sand requirements.

Summary Application:

Wider range of application for pathways, vehicle parking sites, cycle ways and for motor ways. The developed paver blocks are suitable for both light weight to heavy weight vehicle usage. Self-interlocking system suitable for laying above the percolation concrete pathways.

Advantages:

i. Uses naturally available red soil instead of pigments

ii. Replaces fully or partially the scarce river sand requirement

iii. Strength can be easily altered for wider application

iv. High wear and tear resistance

v. Low cost (Rs. 25 per block for 30Mpa strength)

vi. Increased thermal comfort
