Advantages of RDI’s CEBs
Basic Advantages
Depending on our clients' need for new buildings RDI offers
individual CEB machines and industrial CEB plants both of
which produce strong load bearing bricks.
Ideal for small builders on limited budgets constructing,
a few buildings per year or larger national and international
contractors contracted to produce thousands of new homes or
buildings in variable timelines.
The use of Compressed Earth Brick Machines provides:
- A durable building machine that is affordable, cost effective
and easily maintained by operators trained by RDI.
- Brick suitable for building in most climates that meet
national and international building codes.
- Economic advantages of in rural areas where it may be
expensive and difficult to import materials. RDI Bricks
can be mass-produced, in variable strengths, thickness and
sizes based on the needs of the machine operator and brick
user.
- Fire resistant, heating and cooling benefits, noise reduction
efficient and offer a substantial security protection from
miscellaneous impacts to small arms fire.
- Compressed Earth Technology Bricks that will produce:
- Full load bearing walls
- Maximum strength buildings built to withstand almost
all weather emergencies World-wide
- Buildings designed to last for “hundreds of years”
Advanced Advantages
- Our mass production block plant capabilities can produce
millions of CEBs that can be taken to remote multiple construction
sites and produce numerous homes. And, this greatly reduces
brick handling costs.
- Ideal for use where concrete or fired clay blocks and
lumber are in short supply and/or where blocks/bricks/lumber
need to be transported at high expense over long distances
to the construction site.
- The earth bricks produced are smaller than traditional
adobe blocks (10 x 14 x 4 inches) making the blocks easier
to carry by workmen, easier to handle and place in the wall.
- The low environmental impact gives pressed block an ecological
advantage that is becoming a larger consideration in light
of our strained resources.
Additional Advantages
RDI's Brick Machine Construction Systems will create jobs
and create microeconomic development opportunities. Our Automated
Brick Production Process does not require highly skilled labor.
RDI Brick Machine Compressed Earth Bricks “CEB”
Cement stabilized bricks that exceed UBC and Adobe Block
Standards. Dimensional precision of 1/64 th inch on all sides.
A tongue and groove block design that allows for “Dry
Stack” construction without the need for mortar.
Cures in the wall.
Mortar-less construction reduces construction costs and eliminates
a point of thermal leakage.
RDI CEB Structures
A building system that is compatible with traditional and
alternative construction techniques, including roofing and
framing systems.
Superior energy efficiency due to thermal mass benefits.
Excellent resistance to hurricane winds and seismic tremors.
Many International regions require specific engineering to
meet historical earth and weather situations.
“Specially designed RDI Earthquake Resistant Structures
can stand up to shaking equivalent to earthquakes of up to
7 on the Richter scale (0.7g peak ground acceleration).”
Fireproof, non-combustible and waterproof.
Bullet proof to small arms fire such as AK-47s
