cement is used unlike conventional cement concrete.

Major ingredients of Geo-polymer concrete are as below:

a) Fly Ash ( to be collected from location within NTPC plants wherever

available and grounded to required fineness, if required)

b) Ground Granulated Blast Furnace slag

c) Aggregates ( Coarse and fine)

d) Sodium Silicate

e) Sodium Hydroxide

f) Chemical admixtures like super-plasticiser, retarder, shrink-reducing

compound etc.

Fly ash produced by coal-based power stations of NTPC, if available, will be

issued free of cost for the production of Geo-polymer concrete.

1.2 Additional Information on Geo-Polymer Concrete:

A) Batching & Mixing:

The solid constituents of geo-polymer concrete mix such as coarse aggregate,

fine aggregate, fly ash and slag are to be mixed dry for 2-3 minutes, then Geo-

activator solution, consisting of sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide pre-

mixed in tanks at site, is added to the dry mix in batching plant mixer. The whole

mixture is mixed until a homogeneous cohesive mix is obtained. Pumping

devices shall be used for transferring activator solution from tank to the mixer.

Proportion of different ingredients and mixing process are to be

finalized/established during mix design finalization and trial mix at site.

The concrete batching plant shall have to be modified for

handling/feeding/dosing/weighing etc of ingredients and production of Geo-

Polymer Concrete of suitable grade.

B) Geo-activator:

This solution shall be prepared using Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH)& Sodium

silicate(Na2SiO3) with water in a certain ratio. The ratio of Sodium Silicate and

Sodium Hydroxide in activator solution shall be decided during finalization of

Design mix. Separate tanks having adequate capacity are to be constructed

close to batching plant with fencing and a lockable gate for preparation of

Sodium Hydroxide and Sodium Silicate solution. These tanks shall be provided

with acid-alkali resistant lining and covered with GI sheet. Each tank shall be

fitted with a chemical resistant pump of suitable capacity and dual valve in the

discharge line for recirculation (to enable mixing) and also for transferring the

Geo-Activator solution to mixer. This connection pipe from Pump discharge to

batching plant mixer shall be HDPE of suitable Diameter.

Preparation of Geo-activator solution is a critical process and extra care needs

to be taken during the preparation in respect of safety of personnel handling the

chemicals.

1.3 Scope of Work:

Geo-polymer concrete road shall generally be constructed over soil sub-

grade/embankment. However, in some projects/stations Geo-polymer concrete

pavement may have to be constructed over existing damaged bitumen surface

also.

The construction of Geo-polymer Concrete road works shall comprise of
