Makiga ISSB experts train you on soil testing and mixing ratios.

  • The cement to soil ratio varies according to the soil type and can be determined by testing the soil for shrinkage. This can be done quickly by using a special shrinkage box supplied with the soil block press machine.
  • You can use all kinds of soil except the black cotton soil.
  • Murram soil is recommended for the making of cement-stabilized blocks. This type of soil is found at sub-levels. Therefore, one must first remove the top soil to reach it.
  • Once the cement-soil ratio is determined by using the shrinkage Test, mixing can start. This ratio is measured by the number of wheel-barrows against one bag of cement.
