NXTBLOC’s ZMARTBUILD WALL Systems: Durable, Economic Walling Solutions

NXTBLOC’s ZMARTBUILD WALL systems are steel reinforced walling solutions that offer attractive savings while focusing on safety and durability.

 

NXTBLOC’s ZMARTBUILD WALL systems

Surat-based BigBloc Constructions became a trailblazer in AAC walls when it set up India’s first AAC Wall Plant. A joint venture between Gujarat based BigBloc Construction Ltd and Thailand’s SCG International Corporation Co. Ltd., (SCG International), SIAM Cement BigBloc Construction Technologies aims to provide the best walling solutions to the Indian market; it has launched a wide range of large format AAC Wall products of 8 - 12 feet and of 2 feet width, with a thickness of 3-8 inches for the Indian market.

Marketed under the brand name ‘ZMARTBUILD WALL by NXTBLOC’, the company provides next-generation, durable, efficient solutions with considerable savings. The AAC walls are lightweight, soundproof, and fire resistant, offer superior build quality, eco-friendly and are more economical compared to traditional bricks.

Growing Awareness of the Advantages of AAC Walls

Today, in the fast-modernizing construction industry of India, there is a growing awareness of steel reinforced AAC walls, which combine the advantages of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks with the structural strength of steel. The innovative construction method offers a safe, durable and versatile building solution. The enhanced structural integrity offered by steel reinforcement significantly improves the load-bearing capacity of AAC walls, making them suitable for multi-storey buildings and structures subjected to high loads. The construction method is ideal for projects requiring high load-bearing capacity, seismic resistance, and versatility.

The AAC (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) market in India is experiencing significant growth. Global market size (2022-23) stands around USD 19 bn (Rs 1.5 lakh cr) and is poised to grow at 6.2% over the next 5 years whereas the Indian market size (2022-23) stands around USD 0.5 bn (Rs 4,000 cr) and is poised to grow at 15-20% over USD 1.3 bn (Rs 10,000 cr) in the next 5 years.

Advantages

  • AAC walls add to the safety of buildings as they reduce the risks against fires and natural disasters.
  • AAC walls are highly durable while being lightweight, contributing to enhanced longevity of the walls.
  • AAC walls are economical as their usage can increase savings by 5 times.
  • AAC walls can increase construction speed by 6 times.
  • AAC walls bring space to buildings as their usage enables more compact design, leading to an increase in the overall carpet area.
  • AAC walls are a sustainable solution as they can be installed with 98% less water.
  • AAC blocks and walls are sustainable and non-toxic building construction materials

All these features together form a formidable system of Steel Reinforced AAC Walls.

SIAM Cement BigBloc Construction Technologies Commissions India’s First AAC Wall Plant

SIAM Cement BigBloc Construction Technologies has invested Rs 65 crores in a 2.5 cubic meter per annum capacity plant in Kheda, Gujarat. The first commercial production at the plant started in June 2024. The plant, at full capacity, is expected to generate revenues of around Rs. 100 crore per annum. The joint venture also aims to share techno-commercial knowledge, promote mutual growth and cooperation in the construction industry, bring new age building materials to the Indian consumers and generate employment for 250 people.

Factors that set Zmartbuild Walls apart
