About Our Founder

30 years of pioneering
Ferrocement innovation.

Shri J. A. Desai has been practicing Ferrocement Technology for the last 30+ years. He developed Ferrocement plates as a substitute for steel plates in 1984 — pioneering their use in water storage tanks across India.

Over the decades, he developed Ferrocement slabs, beams and columns for elevations, roofs, repairs, waterproofing, retrofitting, and inbuilt-formwork plated RCC structures. His papers have been presented at National and International seminars, workshops, and symposiums.

His applications now cover earthquake resistance, disaster resistance, fire resistance, and rainwater harvesting — making JAD Ferrocements a research-led, experimental and trusted name in the industry.

Why Ferrocement

A modern material engineered
for the next century.

Strong & Durable

As strong as steel plates with long-term durability.

Waterproof

Built-in waterproofing — no extra treatment required.

Fire Resistant

Withstands 750°C for 48+ hours.

Earthquake Resistant

Ductile, lightweight, energy-absorbing structures.

Low Maintenance

Negligible maintenance over a 30+ year life cycle.

Cost Effective

15–20% less cost than R.C.C. for water tanks.

Eco Friendly

Conserves iron ore, minerals, water and power.

Lightweight

Self weight just ~50% of equivalent R.C.C.

Innovation in Action

Innovations that redefine modern construction.

Our latest innovations include Ferrocement structural joists & channels as an alternative to steel structurals, and inbuilt Ferrocement plate shuttering that reduces both construction cost and time.

  • Turnkey projects — planning, designing and construction
  • Thin-section, machinery-set-up controlled manufacturing
  • Pre-casting and cast-in-situ construction
  • Reliable, credit-worthy and professional execution
