Construction tips
Concrete with adequate cement content and a low water cement ratio is inherently durable, if it ensured that it has been batched, mixed, placed, consolidated, finished and cured properly.
A thumb rule is to use not more than 0.5 as water-to-cement-ratio for making a dense concrete. In coastal areas as in Chennai this ratio may be limited to 0.4
Wastewater should never be used for construction.
