To explore smart sensing technology for on-site strength evaluation of a concrete structure
LafargeHolcim has partnered up with the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IITH) to collaborate on development of innovative and smart building solutions.
This new academic collaboration with one of the reputed institutes in India will be implemented through a research project funded by LafargeHolcim Innovation Centre (LHIC), focusing on ‘Standardisation of Smart sensing technology for Continuous Assessment of Internal State and Compressive Strength of Concrete’.
This study will explore smart sensing technology for continuous on-site strength evaluation of a concrete structure that can eventually reduce the time cycle for construction of buildings and infrastructure and also ensure highly accurate real-time strength development.

ACC and Ambuja partner to research sustainable solutions 23 April 2021
India’s ACC and Ambuja Cement (LafargeHolcim) has partnered with the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IITM) to develop green and sustainable building solutions, according to a press release.
The research will look at the use of low-CO
2 binders, with a combination of alternative reinforcement, as a potential substitute for conventional steel rebar. This would reduce the CO
2 footprint of construction work. The collaborative research study will be financially aided by the LafargeHolcim Innovation Centre (LHIC), focusing on ‘Binder Optimisation for Alternate Reinforcements’. To accelerate our mission to become a net-zero company, we consistently work towards developing low carbon to carbon-neutral construction solutions in partnership with academia. Collaborating with IIT Madras is a step in that direction, said Neeraj Akhoury, CEO of LafargeHolcim India.
