    Styrocrete is a lightweight concrete that uses waste Styrofoam as a coarse aggregate replacement for gravel, providing strengths equivalent to normal concrete. It offers benefits such as reduced dead loads, improved thermal properties, savings in transporting and handling precast units on site, reduced formwork for precast applications, and relatively low cost due to the use of waste material.

    STYROCRETE

    -Waste Styrofoam as an alternative coarse aggregate in replacement of gravel


    -A lightweight concrete that can be used for structural application with strengths equivalent to
    normal concrete
    Some benefits of using Styrocrete:

     Reduction in dead loads making savings in foundation and reinforcement


     Improved thermal properties
     Savings in transporting and handling precast units on site
     Reduction in formwork(precast)
     Relatively low cost due to usage of waste material
