Innovation
At Rammed Earth Collective, we are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of rammed earth construction by integrating innovation, experience, and modern technology into our processes. With over 20 years of expertise, we have developed unique advancements that enhance resistance, finishes, and construction efficiency.
We believe in creating structures that are not only resilient but also harmonize with nature, reinforcing our commitment to sustainable and responsible construction.
Granulometry
We have perfected the process of modifying soil properties to achieve superior stabilization. This includes:
• Physical stabilization, where we refine the mixture of aggregates, lime, or cementitious materials to enhance durability.
• Chemical stabilization, achieved through our exclusive inorganic additive, which significantly improves the performance of rammed earth walls.
These stabilization methods allow us to increase the longevity and strength of our constructions while maintaining the natural and ecological essence of the material.
Formwork
One of our key innovations is our self-supporting formwork system, a proprietary development refined through years of hands-on experience in rammed earth construction. This system eliminates the need for external support structures, allowing for:
• Improved structural resistance
• Agile assembly and disassembly
• Superior surface finishes
• Reduced construction time
By optimizing our formwork design, we ensure a more efficient and sustainable building process without compromising quality.
Compaction
We integrate ancestral techniques with modern machinery to achieve optimal compaction. This hybrid approach results in:
• Enhanced wall strength and durability
• More efficient execution times
• Improved consistency in compaction
By leveraging both traditional knowledge and contemporary technology, we ensure that our rammed earth structures are built to the highest standards while preserving the integrity of the technique.
