About Us
ABC ASHPRO is the most pivotal venture by the prestigious ABC Group, which was started for modernizing the future of the construction business in India by manufacturing environmentally friendly and sturdy AAC Blocks (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Blocks). With ABC ASHPRO, we have been a consistent contributor to the growing landscape of Eastern India and further, where we have supplied our products to clients in more than four states of the country.
In order to move towards a better and more efficient alternative in our constant pursuit of providing the best solutions to our clients, we have invested in imported machinery for manufacturing of the new age ‘AAC Blocks (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Blocks)’ with a project outlay of 30 crores to provide this cost-effective replacement instead of the conventional red bricks or fly ash bricks currently in use. These blocks aided with nanotechnology in their chemical composition make them stronger, lighter, cost-effective, and a lucrative space-saving solution for architects looking to maximize corner-to-corner utilization of floor area.
The Group History
ABC Group is a private company with a wealth of experience in the logistics and manufacturing industry, certified by ISO 9001, 2015. The Group was founded by Mr Tanmay Kumar Mishra with the vision to provide exceptional mining, construction, manufacturing, and transportation services to various sectors in Eastern India. With the assistance of his brother, Mr Chinmay Mishra, and the highly skilled and efficient team at ABC, Mr Mishra has realized his dream over the past 18 years. The team’s dedication has enabled the company to set a steadfast growth trajectory, contributing to the development of infrastructure in the state and India’s economic progress.
ABC’s effectual team ensures timely service delivery to all its principals across its various work sites, primarily Coal and Iron Ore Mining Belts in the state and at Paradip and Gopalpur Port. The team is equipped with state-of-the-art heavy earth-moving equipment, specialized tippers for bulk and liquid cargo, heavy and over-dimensional cargo lifting cranes, and a new fleet of garbage disposal trucks in collaboration with city municipalities across various districts in Odisha. Over the past four years, ABC Group has handled over 20 million tonnes of cargo, highlighting its expertise and commitment to excellence.
Difference between Red bricks & AAC Blocks
AAC blocks are more lightweight as compared to red bricks which makes them easy to carry. The density of AAC blocks is around 550-650 kg/m3, while that of red bricks is around 1600-1920 kg/m3, which also makes AAC blocks easier to install. A team of construction workers can lay around 600-800 AAC blocks in a day, while they can only lay around 150-200 red bricks in a day.
With a higher thermal conductivity of 0.16-0.18, W/mK, as compared to the thermal conductivity of red bricks of 0.6-0.7 W/mK, AAC blocks provide better thermal insulation as compared to red bricks. In terms of environmental factors, time and cost, AAC blocks are a more favourable option as opposed to red bricks.

Why Use AAC Blocks?
Hazardous Waste Disposal
The utilization of Fly ash poses a significant challenge for thermal power plants when it comes to its disposal, but using it as a raw material is ecologically sound since it does not require combustion.
Durable
AAC products remain unaffected by severe weather conditions and do not deteriorate under typical circumstances.
Eco-Friendly
AAC Blocks are devoid of any toxic elements and do not emit any unpleasant smells. The manufacturing, handling, and disposal of AAC Blocks do not entail any health hazards or environmental harm. Additionally, the production process generates non-toxic gases.
Strength
AAC blocks have a larger size than traditional bricks, which results in fewer joints. The decreased number of joints minimizes the quantity of mortar needed and enhances strength.
Insulation
Compared to red bricks, these materials exhibit superior properties such as increased strength, better thermal insulation, excellent sound absorption, and resistance to vibration.
Resistance
Due to its lightweight nature and simple workability, the AAC product can be rapidly installed on-site and transported with minimal breakage.
Cost Effective
Walls constructed with AAC blocks have the potential to strengthen over time and may not require plastering, thereby reducing structural expenses by 35%. Additionally, any breakage or rejects can be recycled, further enhancing its eco-friendliness.
Quick Installation
The AAC product's lightweight and easy workability enables quick installation on-site and transportation with minimal breakage.

AAC Manufacturing Process
AAC Blocks are made by mixing base materials such as Fly Ash, Active Hydrated Lime, or Calcium Oxide with grounded Aluminium Powder to create a reaction that aerates the mixture. The block’s strength is obtained through cement strength and an instant curing mechanism achieved by autoclaving. Fused Gypsum, also known as Calcium sulphate Hydrate (CaSO4 2H2O), enhances the strength of the blocks over time.

Preparation of Raw Materials
Before entering our manufacturing plant, raw materials undergo an inspection to verify their quality. Cement and Lime are kept in storage to prevent moisture and a separate pneumatic-based unloading system is used to ensure their quality. The materials proceed to the next stage only after their quality has been established.
Dosing and Mixing
Safebuilt AAC Blocks consist of Fly-Ash Slurry, Ordinary Portland Cement, Quick Lime, Gypsum (Pop), and Aluminum Powder. The raw materials are mixed using a precise batching system to ensure consistency in every batch. Based on test results, the materials are batched to eliminate variations in quality between batches.
Pouring and Casting
The raw materials are poured into large moulds using an automated mobile mixer to ensure accuracy and uniformity. The moulds are then monitored by a dedicated quality team to ensure they meet the desired parameters.
Cutting and Grouping
Highly durable wires are used to cut the porous green cake into the desired size for Safebuilt AAC Blocks. The cutting process is automated, resulting in accurately measured and sharp-edged blocks with precise dimensions.
Autoclaving and Setting
After cutting, the Porous Green Cake undergoes autoclaving for 10-12 hours. This involves exposing it to steam pressure of 12 bars at a temperature of 190-210, which contributes to the physical and chemical characteristics of Safebuilt AAC Blocks.
Dispatch
The last step in making Ecorex AAC Blocks is dispatching. The automated Grab and Shift assembly process separates the blocks after Autoclaving to reduce human involvement. They are then conveyed to the stockyard using a chain conveyor system, after which they are ready for dispatch.
