How does Godrej address procurement challenges in sourcing recycled aggregates for RMC, and what cost savings have clients seen in volatile markets?

Our Construction Materials company addresses procurement unpredictability by leveraging our in-house, cutting-edge recycling facility in Vikhroli, Mumbai. This factory recycles concrete rubble into high-quality Recycled Concrete Aggregates (RCA), which are subsequently used in the manufacture of Ready-Mix Concrete (RMC) for prefabricated items.

We offer and manufacture a comprehensive range of prefabricated products such as recycled concrete blocks, pavers, ducts, U-drains, box culverts, and precast boundary wall panels. We provide custom-made, prefabricated concrete solutions tailored to specific project requirements, enabling clients to achieve cost savings even in turbulent markets.

In supplying 3,500+ precast slabs for the Versova-Bandra Sea Link's access bridge, how does using 10% Recycled Concrete Aggregates (RCA) affect procurement, particularly in balancing cost premiums with long-term durability in saline conditions?

Godrej Enterprises Group's Construction business is delighted to have contributed to significant infrastructure projects in Mumbai, including the Mumbai Coastal Road and the Versova-Bandra Sea Link. We provided more than 3,500 precast concrete sacrificial slabs and 500 tub components for the VBSL Temporary Access Bridge, all of which included 10 percent RCA from our Vikhroli facility.
