AsaDuru
Ede, Nigeria

To build 972m2 of Stabilised Rammed Earth (SRE) walls.

The rammed earth walls has several benefits; load bearing up to three stories without any reinforcement, approximately 70% less embodied carbon compared to other wall materials and a high thermal mass that allows for a slow heat/cold penetration. As they contain a mixture of local earth and a waterproofing admixture, the walls can stand strong to the harsh Nigerian weather conditions. AsaDuru can further complete a rammed earth wall in one seventh of the time required by those using older rammed earth techniques.
