INTER TECH offers Marconite - a safe, sustainable earthing system

In today’s world of increasing attention to green and sustainable products, materials and solutions, the colour of the earth wire is also usually green. But has the earthing electrode been upgraded to a truly ‘green’ product?

Green, sustainable designing focuses on many aspects of eco-friendliness, but the earthing system remains largely neglected. Earthing in the electrical network ensures safety. But, are we ensuring safety at a cost to our environment? Selection of the earth enhancing material matters a lot when its impact on the environment is significant. Chemicals such as salt, charcoal, and Bentonite affect the sub-soils of the earthing location by way of leaching and polluting the water tables. Trees are burnt for producing charcoal. A scarce resource like water is used extensively in charcoal earth pits. Such billions of polluting earth pits need due attention by people engaged in green and sustainability activities.

A chemically inert, non-leaching, non-corrosive, conductive concrete aggregate like Marconite addresses the need for a sustainable and safe earthing system. And it does not require water for maintenance.

Thousands of people lose their life every year on account of electrical mis-happenings brought about by a poor earthing system. There is also concern for the environmental impact of chemical earthing materials. A Surakshit Bharat needs an effective earthing system that is efficient, reliable and sustainable.
