http://loofactory.blogspot.com/2006/12/time-to-raid-bottle-bank.html
Its a blog all about making low-cost toilets in South Africa. Monday, December 04, 2006. Time to Raid the Bottle Bank. My panels are floppy. Its sad but true. They need to be stiffer! I visited a Textile Concrete factory. It’s a bit like that. They were understandably reluctant to reveal their commercial secrets, but we did find that they’d used Glass Fibre mesh to strengthen their Textile Concrete panels. Since then I’ve got hold of a roll of Glass Fibre mesh from Durban. World Aids Day - 1st Dec. A pre...

Cemforce are using a panel made up of a mix of 28mm concrete and polystyrene mix sandwiched between two layers of Glass Fibres mixed with concrete, as you can see below. Here's a little video of one of the early stages of the panel production line:. It was pretty cool to see the factory in action.

http://loofactory.blogspot.com/2007/01/visting-factory.html
Its a blog all about making low-cost toilets in South Africa. Wednesday, January 24, 2007. Visiting an Actual Loo Factory! And explained what I'd been up to since I arrived in South Africa. He very kindly invited me down to Kimberley to check out the factory and see what he’s been up to. I was pretty excited at this point :-) If. Could partner with a company that were already producing loos, then it might be possible for them to get someone experienced to assist. So I asked Andre, who helps run Esibayeni.

The organisation I’m working for). “I’ve got no money, you’ve got no money. We need money”. And so they got on the phone and wrote a funding proposal to a South African Investment Fund. And the World Bank.

the loo factory: Cemforce's Ingredients
http://loofactory.blogspot.com/2007/02/cemforces-ingredients.html
Its a blog all about making low-cost toilets in South Africa. Thursday, February 08, 2007. Well, to my perhaps more-than-slight disappointment, the ingredients Cemforce. Used were different to what I was using. For a start, they are using a Cement:Sand ratio of 1:1, whilst I was using 3:1, which means they are using 3 times more cement in their mix than I was. Like me they. For the reinforcement, they use alkali-resistant glass fibre. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). World Aids Day - 1st Dec. What the...
