Lime for Construction & Infrastructure

Soil stabilisation, stabilised sub-bases, mortars and plasters.

The application

What lime does in construction & infrastructure

Lime stabilisation turns marginal soil into a workable, load-bearing sub-grade — which is why it sits under so much of India's road programme. Hydrated lime also goes into mortars and plasters, where it brings workability and long-term durability that cement alone does not.

Where it is used

  • 01Soil stabilisation for roads, embankments and sub-grades
  • 02Stabilised sub-base and capping layers
  • 03Lime mortars, renders and plasters
  • 04Construction chemicals and dry mix formulations

Before we quote

What decides the grade and the price

Five things the sales desk will ask. Having them ready turns a first call into a quotation.

  1. 01Quantity per consignment and how often — a one-off lot and a monthly contract are priced differently.
  2. 02The form that suits your intake: lumps, a ground powder or hydrated lime, and the size fraction your feed system takes.
  3. 03The parameters that matter for the duty — for a flux it is CaO and reactivity; for dosing it is particle size and available lime.
  4. 04Packing for the journey and the storage at your end: bags, jumbo bags or bulk.
  5. 05Delivery point and the dates material is needed on site, so transport is priced to the door.
