Recent growth of construction
industry has increased the demand of cement.
Increase of the cement utilization demands for
higher production efficiency and ultimately low
production cost. The efficiency of the cement
production depends greatly upon the efficiency of
a grinding mill which consumes 60-70% of the
total electricity consumption of the cement
plant[12]. A grinding mill (Ball Mill) is used to
grind the cement clinker into fine cement powder.
Grinding Aids are used to improve the grinding
efficiency and reduce power consumption. This
paper discusses the grinding aids mechanism and
improvement in grinding efficiency due to various
grinding aids viz .polyols, amines . This paper also

2. Railway Stations
• Platform construction hasn’t
changed much over the last 100
years.
• Concrete, asphalt and steel are
proven and have great strength
and longevity.
• Granite, vitrified tiles, etc have
been the only new introductions.
• Other new materials have come
along but often have
drawbacks.
3. So what’s the problem?
• Currently, many concrete
platforms now require
replacement as they have
reached the end of their service
life.
• All platforms require regular
maintenance which can sap
resource and cause passenger
disruption.
• Ignoring this need for
maintenance leads to hazardous
situations and uneven surfaces
that can cause accidents.
4. The stepping distance
• Many platforms require stepping
distance re-gauging to improve
safety. This is due to change of
rolling stock, long term deflection
or in some cases even
subsidence.
5. Can’t we just use concrete and tiles
to update old platforms?
• Concrete works are easy, just as
long as there aren’t any trains,
electricity or passengers around.
• Works can require long
possession time.
• Creates passenger movement
disruption.
• Labour intensive and sometimes
requires machinery for material
handling.
• No easy way to fix stepping
distances.
• Regular maintenance continues.

50 years in a variety of architectural and industrial environments to
replace traditional building materials.
• The lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistant and low
maintenance properties of GRP offer far more design freedom to
Architects and Developers.
• Applications for GRP are huge – from Service Riser Grating to
Walkways, Structures, Custom Fabrications and Trench Covers.
11. Characteristics of GRP:
GRP is an amazingly versatile material which has phenomenal
potential across a wide spectrum of applications.
Key properties include:
Some other benefits:
EXTREME LOAD CAPACITY POSSIBILITY OF COLOUR CODING EASY HANDLING ANTI THEFT LOCKING PRECISION FINISH
13. Slip Resistance – Meets BS 7976-2
The Pendulum DCoF test. The method is based on a swinging,
imitation heel (using a standardised rubber soling sample), which
sweeps over a set area of flooring in a controlled manner. The
slipperiness of the flooring has a direct and measurable effect on the
pendulum test value (PTV) given.
Research has confirmed the pendulum to be the most reliable and
accurate test, so The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has adopted
it as its standard test method for assessing floor slipperiness in both dry
and contaminated conditions.

Benefits in detail
28. Other features of GRP Platform - Heating
• Snow and ice can cause serious problems in
cold areas. Drifting snow can coat
electrified rails, preventing trains from
drawing power and blocking lines, and snow
and ice on platforms can delay passengers
and cause accidents. Traditional methods of
snow and ice removal by station operators
such as manual sweeping and salting or
chemical de-icing cause accelerated
corrosion and deterioration of the platform.
• Dura Platform can be specified with an
integral heating system to keep platforms
free of snow and ice in extreme weather
conditions.
29. Other features of GRP Platform – Lighting
• Dura Platform can be fitted with
energy efficient LEDs to the front
edge of the caper unit, adjacent to
the white nosing, to help improve
visibility of the platform edge and
passenger safety.
• The LEDs are available in both
single or double lighting strips in
white, blue or other colours and are
fully recessed so no trip hazard is
presented.
• Other benefits include
maintenance savings, low overall
running costs and the instant
aesthetic impact, with platforms
appearing lighter and brighter
34. Stairs & Foot over bridges
What’s the problem?
• Across the country, pedestrian
footbridges are in need of essential
works to ensure their safe use by foot
traffic.
• Landings and treads need periodic
maintenance and replacement due
to the inherent issues with traditional
materials, such as degradation of
concrete and tiles; rusting of metal;
surfaces becoming slippery due to
build-up of organic material or lack of
compliance with updated legislation.
35. Solution: GRP Access systems
• Dura Slab Structural Stair Treads are a new
concept developed in conjunction with
Abellio Greater Anglia (AGA) for
Wymondham Rail Station footbridge in
2015.
• Dura Slab Structural Stair Treads are made
from FRP (Fibre Reinforced Plastic), and
incorporate a number of ground-breaking
features designed to reduce project costs
and installation times, thereby limiting
disruption to end users.
37. Case Study: Wymondham
• The footbridge at Wymondham which serves as
an entry and exit point to the station, and as an
access route between the platforms, was badly in
need of refurbishment, with rotting timber and a
compromised structure providing potential “slip or
trip” risks for pedestrians.
• AGA decided to embark on a project to refurbish
and upgrade the existing structure to provide a
better thoroughfare for pedestrians.
• Not only was money saved by using Dura Slab
Structural Stair Treads due to lower labour costs,
fewer possessions and easier handling, but there
was less disruption for the consumer versus
traditional timber systems – and better still, the
new footbridge is designed for the future with a
life expectancy in excess of 60 years.
