Transcript Building with Earth, Enzymes and Polymers

An Enzyme is a Protein
originating from a bacteria,
fungus, plant or animal that
acts as a catalyst to speed
up a chemical reaction.
Enzyme stabilization is commonly
demonstrated by termites and ants
 Various Enzymes performing multiple
tasks will work to make bonds between
minerals in the water and soil, aid in the
creation of van der vaals forces between
clay particles and aid in the removal of
water between soil particles, giving
better compaction and strength

DZ-1X is a unique multi-enzyme product specifically
developed as an effective aid to the workability,
mixibility, binding and compaction of soil.
 DZ-1X significantly improves stability in construction
of roads, dams and many other related projects.
 DZ-1X is a completely natural bio-degradable
product. By its actions it alters and improves a soils
physical and chemical properties which result, in
significantly less mechanical effort to achieve
greater densities for compaction.
 DZ-1X offers a convenient and low cost method for
improving a soils strength and durability, enabling
lower construction costs, less maintenance and
greater road performance.

stabilized Mud blocks
are cast in either:
adobe method if the soil
is permitting or
using a press to make
compressed earth
blocks.
Manual Adobe block mould
Compressed Earth block

DBV-1 stabilized Earthen Hollow blocks cast with
already available machines in Nigeria

Prior to any
construction a
proper base
using stone or
burnt clay
bricks has to
be prepared
Concrete with reinforced steel is used to add extra strength to
the base of the construction to allow for resistance to
Earthquakes (As per Building construction codes)
A Plastic sheet/Tar is
placed on the concrete to
further ensure no water via
capillary action seeps into
the earthen wall.
Enzyme stabilized blocks
are then placed onto the
base, stuck to each other
using mortar made from
the same earth used to cast
the blocks
Enzyme stabilized
blocks are now
placed the same way
conventional red
clay burnt bricks are
laid to construct a
wall, the difference
being they are stuck
to each other using
mortar made from
the same earth used
to cast the blocks
