Technology Transfer

Advantages & Performance

Build local capability around licensed chemistry, equipment know-how, process documentation, and practical cellular-concrete applications.

LCM production benefits
Equipment integration links formulation preparation, foam generation, mixing and documented quality checks. Operating capacity and performance are confirmed with the selected machine and project materials.

A Transferable Process

Align formulation licensing, foaming equipment, operating procedures, and team training in a defined transfer program.

Local Manufacturing Setup

Establish agreed manufacturing and commissioning steps for foaming generators in the licensee's own operating context.

Application Flexibility

Adapt lightweight cellular concrete processes for casting methods and project requirements that have been technically reviewed.

SIP System Integration

Stay-In-Place formwork is integrated into the casting methodology where the structural design allows, so the wall arrives already formed and insulated.

Cellular concrete performance

Repeatable production controls

The quality-control record tracks raw-material lots, solution dilution, foam density, fresh concrete density and curing conditions. Tolerances come from mix qualification and project requirements, never from assumed universal limits.

LCM construction benefits

Local operating capability

Operator training covers safe start-up, calibration checks, sampling, cleaning and fault escalation. Training records and maintenance schedules transfer process knowledge to the local production team.

Technical Process

What a transfer program puts in place

Every project is scoped around the same inputs: intended use, target output, local material sources, available utilities and acceptance criteria. Formulation, foam generation, mixing, transfer, placement and inspection are planned as one workflow, not as separate operations.

No dilution ratio or cement-to-sand ratio can be fixed in advance. The recipe is established from product data, the mix design and the materials on site, then qualified through trial mixes before production release. A generator delivers steady foam only inside its verified operating envelope, with output matched to mixing and placement; capacity, pressure and flow are confirmed with equipment data and commissioning measurements. Pump and hose performance follow the mix, the route, the lift and the rate of placement.

Foam density, fresh concrete density, workability, material consumption and interruptions are recorded on a repeatable sampling plan. Placed material is protected, and curing, demoulding, loading and follow-on trades follow approved project criteria and strength evidence; curing time varies with formulation, geometry, temperature and humidity. In SIP assemblies the formwork is never removed, so the wall arrives already formed and insulated, with any insulation or cladding contribution designed and verified for that assembly.

Transfer operating know-how

Coordinate formulation, equipment, procedures, commissioning, and training with clearly defined responsibilities.

Measure actual economics

Track concentrate consumption, production yield, downtime, rejects, and maintenance to calculate site-specific cost per cubic metre.

Improve with controlled data

Use consistent quality records and trials to assess changes in materials, settings, staffing, and output.
