The HYDRAFORM building system replaces conventional bricks and mortar through the use of HYDRAFORM blocks, which are interlocking and can be dry-stacked. The other components of the conventional building system remain unchanged.
These blocks can be made on construction site or at block yard using interlocking block making machines.
Today the Hydraform building system and the machines are used in over 50 countries worldwide. These block – bricks can be made with local soil and cement or Fly ash (burnt coal ash) and cement. Hydraform has range of interlocking block making machines, mixers to suit client requirement. Machines can also make conventional brick and other block sizes to suit requirement by changing the moulds. Technical assistance and training is available.
