Bharathi Cement: Building Foundations

High Strength, High Performance Cement for Every Need

Bharathi Cement Corporation Private Limited (BCCPL) is a producer of Superior Quality Cement has set new standards in the cement business. It is a joint venture of Vicat Group, France (pioneers in cement) in India having 51% majority stake.

Bharathi Cement has a 2 production lines with using state-of-the-art technology having a total capacity of 5 MTPA and is located at Nallalingayapalli, in Kadapa district of Andhra Pradesh. The cement is marketed as “Bharathi Cement” since 2009.

The Company was incorporated on May 12, 1999 as Raghuram Cement and Minerals Private Limited. The ownership of the company was changed and the company was renamed later as Bharathi Cement Corporation Limited on August 6, 2008. In April 2010, Vicat SA, France acquired a majority stake in the company. Later, the name of the company was changed to Bharathi Cement Corporation Private Limited from September 1, 2010.

The company commenced the commercial production of line 1 with a capacity of 2.25 MTPA on September 28, 2009 at Nallalingaya Palli, Kamalapuram Mandal, YSR District, AP. It sells the cement under the brand name, “Bharathi Cement”. Later the line 2 was commenced on February 4, 2011 and the total capacity was increased to 5 MTPA. In 2015, a 30 MW captive power plant was set up to meet the power requirements of the company. The company has also 2 subsidiaries,Bharathi Polymers India Private Limited (laminated PP bag manufacturing unit) and Bharathi Rock Products India Private Limited (Aggregates division).

It also invested to build a robust back-end rail and road transport system ensuring the delivery of cement within 24 hours of placing an order.

Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) 43 Grade

Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) 43 Grade is a premium quality cement manufactured from world renowned Narzi limestone. Made using next generation German Technology, the 43 Grade cement develops high early strength as well as high ultimate strength.

Advantages

Superior quality ensures substantial savings in cement consumption
Development of very high compressive strength in early stages helps in early de-shuttering
Superior resistance to sulphate attack due to less C3a content
Low alkali content in cement provides protection against alkali aggregate reaction
High fineness results in better workability enduring dense, durable concrete
High early strength facilitates speedy construction

Applications

Suitable for residential, commercial, industrial structures, bridges and dams, highways, high-rise buildings, runways etc.
Pre-stressed concrete
Recommended for all types of RCC structures, concrete blocks, electric poles, paver blocks etc.

Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) 53 Grade

Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) 53 Grade which surpasses the requirements of IS12269-1987 Grade. It is produced by inter grinding of high grade clinker (with high C3S content) and right quality gypsum in predetermined proportions.

It is recognized for its high early strength and excellent ultimate strength because of its optimum particle size distribution, superior crystalline structure and balanced phase composition and hence widely used and suitable for speedy construction, durable concrete and economic concrete mix designs.

Advantages

Superior quality ensures substantial savings in cement consumption
Development of very high compressive strength in early stages helps in early de-shuttering
Superior resistance to sulphate attack due to less C3A content
Durable Concrete
Feasible for economical concrete mix designs
Low percentage of alkalies, chlorides, magnesia and free lime results in longer life of concrete structures.

Applications

Suitable for Residential, Commercial, Industrial Structures, Bridges And Dams, Highways,high-rise Buildings, Runways etc.
Recommended for all types of RCC Structures, Concrete Blocks, Electric Poles, Paver Blocks Etc.

Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC)

Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) is a premium composite cement produced from superior quality Narzi limestone, using next generation German Technology to meet international standards. The cement is manufactured by inter-grinding high quality clinker with carefully chosen, good quality High Reactive Silica (HRS). Which is collected from Electro Static precipitators (ESP) and contains high quality gypsum.

Hydration of blended cement

Ordinary Portland Cement + Water → C-S-H Gel + Ca(OH)2 (Alkali)

High Reactive Silica(HRS) + Alkali → Secondary Gel Formation

As a result of the above secondary hydration, pore refinement takes place, making the concrete more impermeable to sulphate and chloride attacks. This makes the concrete structure more durable.

Advantages

Low heat of hydration
Resistant to sulphate and chloride attacks
Resistance to alkali silica reaction
Reduction in water demand
Reduced bleeding due to high fineness of cement
Pore refinement leading to improved density of concrete

Applications

Mass concrete work
Marine works
Residential and commercial high rise buildings
Industrial structures
Suitable for wide range of applications as a substitute for OPC

Portland Slag Cement (PSC)

Portland Slag Cement (PSC) is a premium composite cement produced from superior quality Narzi limestone, using next generation German technology to meet international standards. Slag cement begins in an iron blast furnace. Carefully controlled amount of iron ore, along with limestone or dolomite are fed into a blast furnace and heated to 2,700°F. When molten, the iron is tapped for steel production and the slag is diverted to the granulator. Here, the slag is rapidly quenched with large quantities of water.

The process minimises crystallisation and forms granulated slag, which is composed principally of calcium aluminosilicate of lime, which has a glassy form. Formation of this glass provides slag cement with its cementitious properties. At this point, the slag possesses the consistency of fine sand. It is then dewatered and dried. Finally, the slag is ground to a fine powder and becomes slag cement, or it is inter-ground with Portland cement clinker to make a blended cement.

Advantages

Improved Workability
Improved Resistance to chemical attack
Reduced Permeability
Improved Strength
Environment Friendly
Easier Finish
Higher Compressive and Flexural Strengths
Protection against Chloride and Sulphate attack
Reduces heat of hydration
Better cohesive mix
High Carbonation Resistance
Highly resistant to alkali aggregate reaction
Protection of Reinforcement

Applications

Residential, Commercial and Industrial Projects
Dams and other mass concrete works
Water Retaining Structures
Concrete Roads and Flyovers
Marine Constructions
Pre-cast Concrete Products
Foundations and Pile Construction
