PROJECT: Stabilized solid Bricks Manufacturing.
Description:
Brick making remains an important industry in many rural and urban areas, but the income it provides can be a very marginal one. Often there are large numbers of producers and the quality of bricks produced can vary greatly. Stabilized Soil Brick technology (also known as Stabilized Compressed Earth Block (SCEB)) allows producers to easily manufacture higher quality bricks and as a result receive a higher income for themselves.
What are Stabilized Soil Bricks?
Stabilized soil bricks technology offers a cost effective and environmentally sound masonry system. The product has a wide application in construction and is manufactured by compacting earth (murram/sub-soil) mixed with a stabilizer such as cement or lime. A number of manual machines are available which compact the soil to attain dense, even sized masonry. The bricks are then laid out in the sun and cured rather than being fired. Some SSB technology also includes an interlock (called ISSB) resulting in lower mortar costs.
The bricks have four key advantages over traditional bricks:
1) Build Quality:
SSB allows users to produce uniform blocks of greater strength than typical fired blocks that provide better thermal insulation.
2) Financial:
The total cost of building a structure with SSB is 20%-30% cheaper than building with fired bricks because far less mortar is required, structures don’t have to be plastered, and bricks can be made on site so transportation costs are minimized.
3) Environmental:
Because
