The brief
An affordable-housing programme wanted to use on-site laterite soil instead of trucking sand and stone over long distances, and to train local youth teams to build walls with little mortar.
Our solution
- QTS5-10 automatic hydraulic press with crusher, sieve and conveyor at the central yard
- Mobile KDS2-25D diesel presses for remote sites without power
- Manual KDS2-40 units for training teams
- Soil test protocol (jar test, plasticity and trial bricks) before each site starts
Design outcome
Using local soil stabilised with cement removes most aggregate transport, and dry-stacked interlocking walls reduce mortar and masonry time compared with conventional blockwork.
This is a reference configuration. Capacities are design values from machine specifications; actual results depend on materials, curing and operation.
