  • Where is interlocking stabilised soil block machine made?
  • In East Africa, the manual Interlocking Stabilised Soil Block machine is manufactured in Kenya. ISSB blocks are used for the construction of buildings, latrines, wells, septic tanks, and water tanks. This was the ma-chine used in all the case studies in this publication. The main function of the machine is soil compression.
  • What are interlocking stabilised soil blocks (ISSB)?
  • The Interlocking Stabilised Soil Blocks (ISSB) are a variation on this. Adobe blocks are similar to CEB’s and sometimes tagged as the precur-sor of CEBs. Adobe blocks are usually made of a compacted mixture of clay and straw, however are less uniform in size and shape than CEB’s. Cob construction does not involve blocks or bricks.
  • Can interlocking stabilised soil blocks be used in Uganda?
  • This publication discusses the use of Interlocking Stabilised Soil Blocks (ISSB) within the context of Uganda, as an alternative to burned bricks and wattle and daub amidst the return of thousands of displaced and the need for reconstruction of schools and health facilities.
  • Is ISSB a cost-effective way to make soil blocks?
  • The ISSB manual machine is the most cost-effective and accessible way of making soil blocks. None-theless, there is potential for further decreasing its costs and facilitating its use. In rural areas with limited ac-cess, transportation of the machine was challenging due to its weight (140kg) mostly necessitating mo-torized transport.
  • How did local welders make interlocking blocks?
  • Local welders were commissioned to modify the machine molds for the production of inter-locking blocks. For the wall construction of the kitchens, the benefi ting communities used unstabi-lized interlocking compressed soil blocks made with the ISSB machines. The use of sun-dried clay soil blocks is a com-mon practice in the area.
  • Can soil blocks be made after compression?
  • There are several other potential stabilizers and soil mixes, which after compression can produce structurally-sound, cost-ef-fective, and environmentally-friend-ly soil blocks. Compression itself is already a stabilizing agent. The ISSB manual machine is the most cost-effective and accessible way of making soil blocks.
