Sand, Silt, Clay



Our first days of testing as we prepare for a prototype research-and-development project testing unstabilised mudbrick construction. Here, we are taking advantage of extensive clay deposits on site and a regenerative supply of dried lomandra grasses to add tensile strength. Our low-tech sedimentation tests carried out on site gave us a valuable first insight into the compositional soil breakdown into sand, silt, and clay. 

Next up — making bricks… lots of bricks.
