Principle
Because all soils are different, it is
necessary to analyze them before starting
construction.
For small jobs (walls of inertia, filling) basic
tests called “soil diagnosis" can quickly
qualify your soil for construction suitability.
For more ambitious projects (significant
height, load-bearing walls, multi-story
buildings), we offer a "complete analysis"
that respect French standards.

Soil Diagnosis
Soil diagnosis is a set of basic tests to validate
the use of earth for compressed earth brick
production in order to carry out small
construction projects.

Results provided

 Size, texture,
 Macroscopic behavior
 Apparent clay content
 Recommendations

If you want to acquire this knowledge, you are welcome to complete our comprehensive 3-day training,
or order our soil diagnostic kit (MTT). For more information, see the “Soil Diagnostic Kit“ technical
document and our "training" document available online.

Complete analysis
In addition to the Earth Diagnosis, additional
tests are performed on cylindrical specimens
made in the lab with a ground test as well as a
"brick test." Different formulations of mixtures
are tested in order to create the best recipe for
the MecoBriq.

Results provided

 Compressive strength
 Shrinkage / swelling
 Capillarity
 Clay reactivity
 Optimal mixture preparation

After a complete analysis, a "recipe" will be provided in order to achieve the optimum brick with the
tested soil.
