She said samples were collected from the debris crusher units and DCL carried out laboratory tests for these segregated debris samples with high-tech equipments to ensure that it can be used for various constructions. The scientific tests led the conclusion that it can be used in concrete mixtures used under the foundation layer of buildings as well as in the underneath layer of road foundations, which will make a way out from the dilemma the construction debris creates to modern cities.
The new finding is believed to elevate the status of DCL upgraded as one of the main referral laboratories in the region.
