1 Bionic Earth Blocks The Most Abundant, Sustainable Building Material On the Planet, is Mother Earth. Looks Like Brown is the New Green

2 Providing Infrastructure Solutions Proprietary Profiled & Interlocking Stabilised Earth Brick Design. Manufacturer & Sole Distributor of Proprietary Chemical Brick Stabilising Product. (CBS) Community Design and Development. Project Management.

3 Providing Infrastructure Solutions Bionic Soil Solutions International represent an integrated team with capabilities in environmental planning, design and engineering. Their background provides a strong professional team for community re development projects which has served them well in the past utilizing this unique Bionic Earth Block Technology.

4 Unique Building Concept Bionic Earth Block Technology is a unique building concept comprising: In situ soil, in conjunction with Local unskilled labor A minimal amount of cement With the unique and proprietary Earth Block Stabilizer formula to t produce at an economical cost, a high quality and hydrophobic & superior strength Stabilized Earth Block for a sound and secure living environment.

5 Interlocking Technology Stabilized Earth Blocks are easy to build and dry stacked on top of each other No Mortar No special skills are need Dry Stacking Self Locking Soil Brick Technology

6 Dry Stacking Stabilized earth blocks are easy to build and dry stacked on top of each other No mortar No reinforcing bars No special skills are needed

7 Stabilising Additives Made of Soil with only 2 to 4 % Cement and 1 to 3% Lime plus RoadPacker Clay Brick Stabiliser 200 mm Width 100 mm Height 200 mm Length

8 Construction in South Africa A - 55 m 2 House for RDP/Affordable Housing Projects Using Stabilized Earth Block Interlocking Construction Technology: Dry stacking bricks with the SEB interlocking, dry-stacking system Blocks made from the most available component on earth : Clay Based Soil, 2 to 4% Cement and Bionic Earth Block Stabilizer. Blocks made with Mobile Hydraulic Brick Making Machines Blocks made directly on the construction site or close by reducing all transport costs to minimum Block making and construction of houses do not require specialized skills and the local labor is used with > 50% of them without experience.

9 Construction in South Africa A - 55 m2 House for RDP/Affordable Housing Project Dry Stacking Stabilized Earth Blocks with the Interlocking System Right Corner Brick 200 mm Brick For Outside Walls Left Corner Brick 150 mm Brick For Inside Walls

10 Construction in South Africa A - 55 m 2 House for RDP/Affordable Housing Projects Dry Stacking Blocks With the SEB Interlocking System And Horizontally The Bricks Interlock Vertically Building Becomes Incredibly Easy

11 Construction in South Africa A - 55 m 2 House for RDP/Affordable Housing Projects Blocks made from the most available component on earth : A Clay Based Soil, 2 to 4% Cement with Bionic Earth Block Stabilizer, Using the Mobile Hydraulic Stabilized Earth Block Making Machine From a Single Mold Block Making Machine Producing up To 2,500 Stabilized Earth Blocks Per Day

12 Construction in South Africa A - 55 m 2 House for RDP/Affordable Housing Projects Blocks made from the most available component on earth : A Clay Based Soil, 2 to 4% Cement with Bionic Earth Block Stabilizer Using the Mobile Hydraulic Stabilized Earth Brick Making Machine A Double Mold Block Making Machine Producing up To 5,000 Bricks Per Day

13 Construction in South Africa A - 55 m 2 House for RDP/Affordable Housing Projects Let s Follow the Steps for Building Our Show House of 45m 2 With a Veranda/Terrace of 10m 2 With A Total Under Roof Area of 55 m 2

14 Construction in South Africa A - 55 m 2 House for RDP/Affordable Housing Projects Due to Very Poor Soil Quality in Soshanguve, it Was Decided to Use Wafer Type Foundations For This Home.

15 Construction in South Africa A - 55 m 2 House for RDP/Affordable Housing Projects The time allowed for construction being extremely short, the already made Stabilized Earth Blocks were brought from our Johannesburg manufacturing facility.

16 Construction in South Africa A - 55 m 2 House for RDP/Affordable Housing Projects The 2 block layers and 3 unskilled laborers that were used for the first time and who had no knowledge of the Dry Stacking System Damp course is used and the first row of blocks is carefully laid checking horizontal levels and alignment with fish lines.

17 Construction in South Africa A - 55 m 2 House for RDP/Affordable Housing Projects The first line is critical for the construction and great care must be used to make sure that the blocks join perfectly Reinforcing bars are inserted in the blocks linking the roof attachment to the first row of blocks

18 Construction in South Africa A - 55 m 2 House for RDP/Affordable Housing Projects The SEB Block system starts quickly and efficiently with multiple rows of SEB s rapidly going up Reinforcing bars and electrical wire are inserted directly in the passing trough of the blocks Linking walls is fast and easy through a T junction

19 Construction in South Africa A - 55 m 2 House for RDP/Affordable Housing Projects Re-bars are generously covered with mortar for effective attachment Corners are positioned with the vertical bar showing.

20 Construction in South Africa A - 55 m 2 House for RDP/Affordable Housing Projects In one day, the building is reaching the window level

21 Construction in South Africa A - 55 m 2 House for RDP/Affordable Housing Projects Few views of the works of the first day

22 Construction in South Africa A - 55 m 2 House for RDP/Affordable Housing Projects Next day, the building goes up, windows and inside walls taking their position and shape The quality of SEB walls starts showing : Excellent face block effect, tight fit and great finishes

23 Construction in South Africa A - 55 m 2 House for RDP/Affordable Housing Projects Corners are excellent and is it really a dry stacking wall? Getting to the door top level

24 Construction in South Africa A - 55 m 2 House for RDP/Affordable Housing Projects Nice views of the end of the second day work achieved

25 Construction in South Africa A - 55 m 2 House for RDP/Affordable Housing Projects Positioning the lintels and going to roof fitting level A column for supporting the veranda s roof is made by using the corner blocks and a reinforcing pipe in the center

26 Construction in South Africa A - 55 m 2 House for RDP/Affordable Housing Projects Roof wires have been attached to a reinforcing bars 4 rows lower and are brought to the top to attach the roof trusses End of third day, just waiting for the roof

27 Construction in South Africa A - 55 m 2 House for RDP/Affordable Housing Projects A solid light Dezzo light weight galvanized structure is fitted in a few hours Lafarge tiles are used for cover End of the day, the house is ready for final finishes

28 Construction in South Africa A - 55 m 2 House for RDP/Affordable Housing Projects While finishing the gable walls, ceilings are fitted and plastering of bathroom and kitchen wall goes on

29 Construction in South Africa A - 55 m 2 House for RDP/Affordable Housing Projects Final touch to the face block effect and finalizing the electrical circuit

30 Construction in South Africa A - 55 m 2 House for RDP/Affordable Housing Projects Finishing the ceilings and fitting of the floor tiles Starting to look really good

31 Construction in South Africa A - 55 m 2 House for RDP/Affordable Housing Projects Final Painting of the Window Frames & Door Jams Finished Stabilized Earth Brick Home.

32 Finishing Wall The finished wall constructed with low cost Bionic Earth Blocks, is both pleasing to the eye, as it is economical to produce. The walls are hydrophobic in nature and the inside walls of the house may be painted or plastered depending on the owners personal taste. Bionic Earth Block Wall
