ACC Wall Panels

ACC Wall Panels 

The industry got a new member with ACC Blocks which were lightweight with ease of modification and workability. The block was porous which made them lightweight but also reduces their durability. 

Here we are now looking at a new member in the building construction industry i.e. ACC Wall Panels which are derived from materials used in ACC Blocks but also contain rebars inside which imparts strength and enhances its durability. Being lightweight and workability similar to blocks but covering a large area at once made these new elements matter of talk.

ACC Wall Panels

They are 3 meters tall and can range in width with the companies specification. They are composed of quartz sand, calcined gypsum, lime, cement, water, and aluminum powder which are autoclaved under heat and pressure. These materials incorporate lightness, high thermal resistance, workability, and importantly strength. They are casted in molds in such a way that they have interlocking patterns which help in fitting and installing work.

These blocks are used in Multi-Residential Construction for non-loadbearing wall panels, which are fixed to a reinforced concrete structural frame. While in domestic residential buildings construction they are used as loadbearing wall panels which are limited to 1-2 storey built-up. For Industrial Construction, they are used as non-loadbearing wall panels spanning vertically and incorporated into industrial wall applications. Mezzanine doors and ceiling panels for fire exits are also now being made through ACC Wall Panels.

Great Man-Made River (GMR)

Libya's Great Man-Made River: The Great Man-Made River in Libya is one of the most ambitious Civil Engineering projects in the history of mankind.  In the year 1953, the Libyan Government found not only vast oil reserves but also a vast quantity of fresh water locked under the strata. Most of the water was trapped around 7000-30000 years ago, which is divided into 4 different basins. The first basin is named the Kufra basin, which is near the Egyptian border which covering almost 35000 sq kilometers and is quite deep, around 2000 m deep. The other basins are in the Sirte Basin, which covers 10000 sq kilometers, the third in the Murzuk Basin, and the last in the Jabal Fezzan Basin, covering 4800 sq kilometers.  The GMR project will be used to transfer water to the North of the country to provide water for irrigation purposes for more than 6 million people. This will be a changing point for Libya, and Colonel Muammar Gaddafi called it the Eighth Wonder of the World. The work sta...
