GRC

Concrete, reimagined

Glassfibre reinforced concrete is a high-performance composite — Portland cement, fine aggregates, and alkali-resistant glass fibres. The result is a material 80% lighter than precast concrete that can be moulded into virtually any shape, texture, or colour an architect can specify.

At ECPL, GRC is manufactured entirely in-house at our Lambdapura facility — from panelisation engineering and mould production through to finished panels ready for installation. No outsourced manufacturing, no third-party moulds. The same team that engineers the panel system produces and installs it.

PROCESS

How a GRC project comes together

From the architect's design intent through to panels on the building — one team, no handoffs.

Step 1 - Design & engineering
Panelisation layouts, structural calculations, substructure drawings, and fixing details — all produced in-house and approved before a single mould is made.
Step 2 - Mould production
CNC-machined for precision profiles, hand-finished for complex sculptural forms. Moulds produced at Lambdapura and reused across panel runs for dimensional consistency.
Step 3 - GRC manufacturing
Spray or premix application depending on panel geometry. Each panel is cured, finished, and quality-checked against approved samples before dispatch.
Step 4 - Installation & handover
Supervised installation by ECPL's site crew — fixing to substructure, panel alignment, joint sealing, and final inspection. One team from shop drawing through to handover.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is GRC used for?

Architectural cladding, decorative facades, sculptural elements, column covers, cornices, balustrades, and screen walls. GRC is roughly 80% lighter than precast concrete and can be moulded into complex shapes — making it the preferred material for buildings where design intent goes beyond flat panels.

How long does GRC last?

GRC has a design life of 30+ years when properly manufactured and installed. ECPL's GRC is produced to IS 15912 and tested for durability in coastal, high-UV, and freeze-thaw conditions. Maintenance is minimal — periodic cleaning is typically all that's needed.

How does ECPL handle a GRC project?

End-to-end: panelisation engineering and substructure drawings, in-house mould production, GRC manufacturing at Lambdapura, and supervised on-site installation. One team from first drawing to final panel on the building.

What certifications does ECPL hold?

GRC manufacturing meets ISO 9001 and complies with IS 15912, BS 6586, and ASTM C1313. Third-party test reports for flexural strength, water absorption, fire resistance, and durability are available for every project.

Can ECPL supply internationally?

ECPL has supplied GRC to select international projects and is actively building export capability for GCC, North American, and European markets. Contact our team to discuss export requirements for your region.
