High Volume Fly Ash Concrete Technology Transfer Project The HVFAC technology was developed at Canada Center for Mineral and Energy Technology CANMET, Canada in the late 1980's to make concrete that incorporates large volumes (50-55%) of fly ash which partially replaces cement in concrete and has all the attributes of High-performance concrete.

The HVFAC project in India was funded by Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and was jointly being implemented by CANMET, Canada and CII from 2003 to December 2005.


The overall goal of the project was to strengthen India's ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to promote sustainable development in India by implementing the use of HVFAC technology

This was achieved through seminars and workshops organized to create awareness amongst concrete users and specifiers, undertaking technology adaptation studies, preparing a summary status report on fly ash usage in India, disseminating the information on the technology through distribution of the HVFAC technology booklet and website and promoting Demonstration projects of various applications of HVFAC. To spread awareness on the technology amongst the stakeholders the Project Website www.hvfacprojectindia.com was also launched.

 

To adapt this technology to Indian materials and conditions for a range of potential applications and to develop techniques and practices specific to the Indian context Laboratory development work with Indian materials was carried out.

Several reputed construction projects in the country have been completed using this technology, the chief being: Bandra Worli Sea Link Project, Mumbai, Rajasthan Atomic Power Plant 5 & 6 Project, Rawat Bhatta, Delhi Metro Rail Project, New Delhi, and Centre of Excellence Project, Bangalore. Apart from these over 30 concrete road projects have been completed across the country.
