Blocks in Chitral

Hydraform Blocks

We produce specialized interlocking blocks in Chitral.

We brought the first Hydraform Block Machine to Chitral and have started producing hydraform blocks.

Hydraform technology was through continuous research and development with leading institutions, Hydraform developed a stabilized soil-cement block (SSB) which is dry stacked and interlocks on 4 sides, eliminating the use of mortar in 70% of the building structure.

Interlocking building system is suitable for residential, commercial, institutional, industrial and boundary walls construction. Application can be both load bearing construction as well as framed infill construction.

ADVANTAGES OVER CONVENTIONAL BRICK / CONCRETE MASONRY

Earthquake Resistent

Hydraform blocks have tongue and groove profile to form interlocking masonry - Interlocking Shear key makes masonry Earthquake resistent and provides thermal protection (green building)

No Plaster

Blocks have exposed brick finish requiring optional plaster - Beveled edge blocks ease handling and smooth flow of rain water on wall face

Cost Saving

Interlocking blocks facilitate speedier, cost effective and greener construction requiring no post construction work and reduces heating and cooling costs

Simple Laying

Masons find Hydraform interlocking masonry simpler and faster, give better productivity and proper leveling

Onsite Production

Hydraform block machines can be produced on construction site itself, avoiding multiple handling and transportation

Flexibility

Flexibility to alter compressive strength to suit project requirement - compatible for both load bearing and for In fill applications
