摘要：The waste water from tannery industry can be used for the construction purpose, so that the shortage in water can be greatly reduced. In addition the problem of disposal of waste water from these industries can be solved if the water is reused for some other purposes. The basic properties of the treated and untreated water from the tannery industry were tested and the results were found to be satisfactory such that it can be used for construction purposes with some minimal treatment. Even the mechanical properties of the concrete using these effluents are also found to be satisfactory. By using the waste water from the tannery industry, cubes and cylinders were casted and tested for its durability (sulphate attack, chloride attack and corrosion impact). The result shows some deviation compared to specimens casted using potable water and so chemicals in form of inhibitors were used and the results were found to be satisfactory.
