§1What this business is
Concrete of cement, gravel (rodi) and sand (bajari) is poured into moulds with tensioned PC wire, vibrated, left to set for 42–72 hours, de-tensioned and lifted out with a chain pulley on a gantry, then water-cured for 10–15 days. Poles are used for wire fencing; slotted posts with panels make precast boundary walls of 6 and 8 ft height for homes, farms, factories and plots.
Capacity: Poles: 2,000 ft a day, 6,00,000 ft a year. Wall panels: 1,000 sq ft a day, 3,00,000 sq ft a year (8-hour shift, 25 days a month).
