| The Hydraform Building System. The solution to three pivotal factors that ensure a truly successful housing project: cost efficiency, community upliftment and sustainability |
| The benefits of local manufacture have far more than simply environmental value and this is owing to the portable nature of the Hydraform machine. It means that the blocks can be produced anywhere, training can take place on the job and rural development is easier as the machine can be transported to remote areas. While most housing systems require an influx of skilled workers, Hydraform housing requires a small team of trained operators commissioned to involve the local community’s semi-skilled and unskilled people. This leaves locals with additional skills and earning potential beyond the existing value of building their own house. The employment opportunities are considerable. Published on 03 June 2009 |
| Mapungubwe National Park: A Case Study |
| In 1932, a farmer who lived just on the border between Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa discovered evidence of a sophisticated society near Mapungubwe Hill. Through his sons and subsequent archaeological investigation conducted at the University of Pretoria, numerous gold artifacts were found in and around the area. Published on 27 October 2008 |
| Nigeria: A Case Study |
| In June 2008, Hydraform sent representatives to Nigeria to provide training for Hydraform machines and on the Hydraform Building System. On arrival at the site, we saw that two M7 TWIN machines were operating and that mixing was being done by hand, so we built a ramp for the Hydraform 300l hydraulic pan mixer. Once this was done, the consistency of the quality of the batches greatly improved and the speed of production increased considerably. Published on 27 October 2008 |
