Our Company Mission To encourage sustainable construction by looking at the recycling cycle of concrete aggregates Vision To promote new sustainable construction technology in Singapore through intensive Research and Development
Proposed New Construction Technology: The SRS (Sustainable Recycling System) An Integrated on-site recycling system
Overview Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) Our Proposed Concept – The SRS Site Management
Why recycle? • Indonesia Cambodia and Vietnam banned sand exports to Singapore. • Singapore’s construction industry is vulnerable. • Government and industry partners encourage extensive adoption of sustainable materials.
Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) • What? • Aggregates which derive from buildings after demolition • Current uses • Road works: use as sub-base • Non-structural works: in eco-concrete. Eg: kerbs, drains, footpath • Structural works: elements of buildings (subjected to BCA approval)
Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) • Advantages • Cheaper than natural aggregates • Reduce the amount of landfill needed for disposal of C&D waste • Reduce transportation and dumping costs • Green and environmentally friendly • High quality – meet or exceeding application specifications as compared to normal concrete • Provides for superior compaction and constructability • Is currently being used in concrete and asphalt products with better performance over comparable virgin aggregates • Is of higher yield • Weights 10% - 15% less than comparable virgin quarry products (concrete) and natural aggregates
Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) • Current concerns • Lack of knowledge on advanced technology • Not widely used in local context • Lack of confidence • Perspective • Video (RAC vs NAC)
Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) • Case Study • Local application • 100% RCA building by Sam Woh • BCA did an in depth study on RCA • SS EN 12620 to approved the used of RCA gradually
Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) • Case Study • Overseas application (Japan) • Biotope Soga symbiosis building installed in Chiba Heating Power Area • Waste Incinerator Building located in Yokohama Thermal Power Plant
Current Recycling Process Disadvantages • Time consuming • Cost incurred for transportation • Time lag
Our Proposed Concept The Integrated SRS (Sustainable Recycling System)
Main Factors Considered • Economies of scale • Mobility and efficiency of machineries • Quality of recycled aggregates (RCA) • Site planning and management • Market forces and acceptance • Government support and regulations
All-rounded Concrete Recycling System • 3 main Components: • Mobile Recycler • Mobile Batching Plant • Mobile Reclaimer - All processes carried out on-site - Site Management to be considered

The SRS is an all rounded, mobile concrete recycling and batching system designed for maximum flexibility, efficiency and green technology – and it is able to cater to the requirements of most construction sites
Stage 1 – Demolition Site 1) Demolition
SRS Component 2 – Mobile Batching Plant • Main Components: • Mobile hopper • Mobile Mixing Unit • Mobile Silos
SRS Component 3 – Mobile Reclaimer • Key Features • Patented technology • Reclaim sand, aggregates, slurry water from concrete waste • Slurry water can be channeled back to batching plant for manufacture of concrete
Methods Of Recycling • Centralized Method • Surround Method • Sectional Method - Encompasses sectional method
Advantages • Save time on transportation - Rejection of bad quality - Congestion due to traffic - JIT (Just In Time) • Easy set-up - Connectivity • Cost Saving • Flexibility - Can be used in different scenarios
Scale Based Project • Concern • May not be suitable for small scale construction projects • Scale of project suitable for used
Quality Assurance Recycle Like Never Before
