Why ISSB(Interlocking Soil Stabilized Brick)

Why ISSB(Interlocking Soil Stabilized Brick)

ISSB has numerous benefits for construction industry.

One of the advantages of ISSB is that they can be dry-stacked with minimal mortar, which increases the speed of construction.

This building system has been extensively tested for structural strength and durability, as well as for fire, rain and sound resistance.

The ISSB manual press machines only use three inputs namely soil that can be sourced at the site, a small amount of cement that provides stability for the blocks and water. Sometimes sand is used where clay content is too high. As a result, the machines are ideal for sites where transport cost for cement and sand is high.

They are eco-friendly, cost-saving alternative to conventional vibration machine. ISSB machines are available in different mould sizes. Depending on the size the machine has the capacity to produce between 500- 11520 blocks per eight-hour shift.

The machines are relatively labor intensive, requiring about two-six operators depending on the machine model. This creates employment opportunities and allows skill transfer.

With the depletion of our natural resources worldwide there was greater concern for the sustainability of whatever action we carry out. Rural areas have traditionally built homes, schools and other building using either compressed-mud bricks leavened with cement, mortared together and dried in wood-fired kilns or using wood and twigs from young trees woven together and smeared with mud or cow dung.

The bricks and the twigs have contributed to massive deforestation in the world. The bricks themselves are often irregular and poorly made or even poorly burned. Cement and mortar can make good housing in the villages very expensive and many tend to opt for traditional methods of construction. ISSB allow for quick and efficient construction of housing units and other buildings and water tanks.

We believe ISSB is an environmentally sound practice that has minimal impact on our natural resources. So the ‘footprint’ of what we will strive to do will unquestionably be very minimal. Interlocking Stabilized Soil Block machines we at CGK MACHINE manufacture come in automatic and manual options and are excellent machines with good service back up and compete favorably with the South African Hydra form machine which is very expensive to import and has little service back up.

WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR OURSELVES

WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR OURSELVES

When you get into the interlocking business you have to get in with your heart and you have to have the desire to succeed.

It may be hard during the start-up because you will be spending money on the soil, water,cement and the labor but once your clock starts ticking and you start getting the jobs you will wonder why you didn't invest in an interlock machine 5 years ago.

INTERLOCKING BLOCKS MAKING IN RAINY DAYS

INTERLOCKING BLOCKS MAKING IN RAINY DAYS

To produce good quality interlocking blocks the necessary quantity of water must not be added all at once or to one part of the dry mix only. It is much better to add a little water at a time, sprinkled over the top of the mix, from a watering can with a rose spray on the nozzle.

The rains are here with us and all the farmers and everyone who eats from the soil is excited at the possibilities of a good harvest. But in interlocking blocks technology the rains come at a cost if you are not prepared.

Preparation means that you have to build a mixing shed before the rains start. This is important because of mixing of dry ratios such as soil and cement. When soil is wet and too damp it compromises the mix because there will be too many lumps in the mix.

When the rains hit your soil it negates all of the above. One way to work around this is to prepare your soil in advance and cover the soil completely using the juala we normally buy in rolls or in kilograms. You can also make further savings if you get a way of buying the used jualas.

You should also build a stacking and curing shed on the site where you are making blocks. Most clients see this as an unnecessary expenditure especially if you build the roof of the shed using roofing sheets. The trick is to get a good fundi so that you can later use these roofing sheets later when doing the roofing of the main house.

Thank God for the rains but be prepared because the rainy season is a trying time for block making.

INTERLOCKING BLOCKS AND INTERLOCKING PAVERS CURING PROCEDURES

Because of lack of training most people ignore or are unaware of the curing period and its importance and when the block fails the interlocking technology is blamed and subsequently gets bad press.

In interlocking blocks and interlocking pavers curing is the most important phase and poor curing practice is reason why the cement stabilized blocks fail.

Good curing practice is not followed for one of two reasons. Either the producer is not aware of the need for curing or it is felt that the cost of constructing a suitable curing area is not worth the potential increase in quality.

Experiments have shown that the strength lost due to poor curing can easily reduce the final block bulk strength by 20%. As the block surfaces lose water first, strength loss in these regions is still higher.

The loss of surface strength reduces both the handle-ability (edge and corner chipping during transport) and the durability of the blocks.

And when this happens clients interested in the technology get discouraged because of such cases. Some of the bad practices are blocks are frequently left uncovered and out in the sun to "dry”.

Cement relies on the presence of water to hydrate, forming an interlocking skeleton of calcium silicate hydrate which gives the material its strength.

• CGK1-20 mobile compressed earth block machine

If the interlocking blocks is allowed to prematurely dry then full hydration of the cement does not occur and consequently only part of the cement used contributes to the strength of the block.

If proper curing were implemented, maintaining the molding water content for at least 21 days, then both strength and durability improvements would be seen.

The curing area should be flat and a black polythene paper should be laid on the ground to receive fresh interlocking blocks and interlocking pavers from the press. If you want to reduce expenses you can always use the empty cement bags.

The curing shed doesn’t need to be unnecessarily expensive. It can be done using round timber poles and a shade net. The second hand shade nets are easily available in Naivasha at an affordable cost.

The best practice during the curing period is to water/irrigate the blocks twice a day, in the morning and evening for the 21 days. Always use a watering can when watering your blocks. During this time the blocks should be properly covered using the black polythene paper.

The benefits of the Interlocking blocks:                                                                              1.The making of 3000 Interlocking blocks will save 10 tonnes of trees. 

2.Only one bag of cement is needed to make 150 blocks.                                                  3. Cost saving because of less time needed to make them. 

4.The blocks do not need to be fired 
5.They are double the size of a normal fired brick so you only need to use half the number of bricks. 
6.There is no mortar needed between the bricks because of the interlocking system, so mortar is only needed on top and bottom of the brick. 
7.Uniformed shape for every brick, which uses less mortar and render – saves up to 50% compared to using fired bricks. 
8.Bricks are used 4 hours after making them, therefore construction can continue as the bricks are being made.
