Member - Terrabloc
Compaction process using a hydraulic press to produce compressed earth blocks (btc) with excellent properties in terms of mechanical strength, durability, acoustics and thermal inertia.
About
For more than 10 years, Terrabloc has been making products from raw earth, a sustainable, local material. Terrabloc recovers excavated earth and transforms it into stabilized compressed earth blocks (C.E.B.) for masonry wall construction. Terrabloc's ability to recycle this waste into a useful construction resource represents a real innovation and a model for the circular economy. The product life-cycle analysis carried out by external experts shows that, compared with conventional alternatives such as gypsum, reinforced concrete or clay brick, grey energy (the non-renewable energy required to produce and dispose of the product) is significantly lower.
