Concrete cloth is a unique proprietary material. It has a very wide range of applications throughout the building and civil engineering industry. CC is a flexible; cement impregnated fabric that hardens when hydrated to form a thin, durable, water and fire proof concrete layer. CC allows concrete construction without the need for plant or mixing equipment. It has a designed life of 10 years. It is significantly quicker and less expensive to install.

Portland pozzolana cement (PPC) is used for the construction of houses, schools, and residential building slabs. PPC is cheaper than ordinary Portland cement. Thus to reduce the building making cost, PPC should be adopted.
Both the PPC and OPC cement is used in the construction of slabs.
Portland pozzolana cement is Better resistant to sulfate attacks. Thus PPC is used in underwater construction where water has some amount of sulfur quantity. Its setting time is higher than OPC.
