Fly-Ash, an indispensable by-product of Thermal Power Plants, is an environmental threat across the globe. Power plants are facing an ever increasing challenge disposal of this polluting agent. This unit is proposed to manufacture FAL-G Bricks & Blocks by consuming the Fly-Ash as one of the prime raw material. Secondly, it also helps environment by saving the invaluable top soil by not using them in brick making like conventional brick making. Thirdly, they need no burning, thus further enhancing their Eco-Friendly Brand. This is the reason these bricks are also referred as Eco Bricks or popularly Green Bricks, (though the color is gray).
Fly-Ash Bricks and Blocks are largely used in various constructions, such as load bearing and pillar structure Buildings, Boundary walls, Roads, Culverts, Pavements, and wherever conventional bricks can be used. The general Fly ash bricks fall in the strength zone of 60-250 Kg/Cm2, thus is much stronger then conventional Bricks. These bricks gain strength over a period of time up to 2 years, where as the conventional bricks tend to lose strength over a period of time. Because of this strength, the same mix can be also be used to make the Paver Blocks in the same casting machine with interchanging the moulds. These green bricks can attain very regular and uniform shapes. As no burning is involved, so the shape also remains unchanged. As a result, the final Brick work with these green bricks consumes less mortar to build, less mortar to plaster. Further, the FAL-G being artificial cement itself, it forms a more uniform bond with cement, giving almost a homogeneous structure. Not only this, even exposed brickwork (without plastering) is a good durable structure. So people prefer to leave the Green Bricks Brickworks in garages, boundary walls etc. un-plastered.
Shelter is third skin, according to a German Concept, which implies it’s importance next to human Skin and Clothing. This also shows the attachment of human race to this fundamental requirement. Building Material accounts for major component of the construction cost. Depending on the location they can contribute to 60 - 70 % of the cost of construction. With the ever increasing population, the demand for housing increases. This directly creates demand for this prime commodity of building. Add to the above fact the area under discussion and its surrounding area is undergoing a major infrastructure revolution. As Residential, Commercial, IT companies, and Industrial establishments are coming in, we can conclude that the Bricks unit will prosper and flourish in this environment. There is a central government gadget notification mandating government departments and CPWD to use 100% Fly Ash Bricks in their all constructions- directly of through contractors. This factor will help the marketability of this product immensely. Fly Ash policy of the Government also mandates that 20% of Fly ash Generated by a power plant must be given free of cost to SME sector on a priority basis.

The management has to be vigilant in ensuring higher productivity by the optimal utilization of man and machine hours. Periodic checks on working stages, functioning of machinery, their preventive maintenance and timely repairs will help in energy conservation.
