Cicabloc Construction

CICABLOC® is the first folding form work block that weighs only 2.5 kg.

This product is modular, lightweight, ecological and economical. What's more, CICABLOC® effectively helps prevent musculoskeletal injury.

Made from recycled synthetic material, this product respects the environment while demonstrating the same characteristics as a reinforced concrete wall.

CICABLOC® displays excellent mechanical properties and can stand up to all kinds of weather. It's durable and rot-resistant.

Comprised of two sides joined by folding hinges, CICABLOC® is 80% lighter than regular form work blocks, consumes 3 times less storage space.

APPLICATIONS OF CICABLOC:

CICABLOC® has various applications namely:
1. Retaining walls
2. Supporting walls
3. Walls for Store room
4. Basement walls
5. Property walls
6. Against existing walls
7. Noise blocking walls
8. Technical room / Housing
9. Elevator shafts
10. Valve chamber
11. Holding vessels
12. Holding tanks
13. Land scape walls
14. Retaining walls for Ponds (clean and effluent ponds)

ADVANTAGES OF CICABLOC®

• The manufacturing process is simple and it is based on injection compression moulding. This manufacturing process guarantees good dimensional stability
• CICABLOC industry has created its own software integration for the machinery of injection compression.
• The storage of CICABLOC is much more and we can stack piles of pallets of CICABLOC in one small area, since CICABLOC is folding blocs hence required less space for storage.
• Since CICABLOC is folding blocs, the transportation cost is much less as compared to the
Normal bricks and ACC blocs
• Man power requirement during the production stage is much less as compared to other blocs and construction building material factories.
• Zero percent carbon emission or waste water discharge in the manufacturing process, hence it satisfy all the GPCB norms of air, water and land consent
• The water consumption is very less in the manufacturing process
• Very less human hand intervention is required during the manufacturing process, if you feed the granules in the machines, you will get ergonomically designed, symmetric and dimensionally stabilize CICABLOC
• The weight of each CICABLOC of the size 60 x 30 x 20 cms is 2.5 kgs hence it is easy in handling.
• It helps workman to save him from spinal injuries while carrying it.
• CICABLOC is having interlocking joins hence a high skill labour is not required thus it reduces the skill labour cost as well.
• Fitting of CICABLOC is a child’s play, one block fits another and so on..
• The construction time required is very less, after adequate practice one can make a 1 sq meter of wall in 15 minutes
• The construction cost of CICABLOC is 50 to 60% less than normal construction, as labour required is less, less skilled labour required, it does not uses cement or concrete, for small house of 30 sq meter you even don’t need reinforcement steel bars as well.
• CICABLOC is ideal building blocks for high storied buildings, it requires less space, it has less load bearing on the structure, no use of cement in the walls, and it can be drilled, cut, nailed easily. Mechanical resistance is 6.25 ton per sq meter
• CICABLOC is made of 100% recycle PVC waste
• Non polluting manufacturing process
• NON Toxic raw material
• Does not exudes gases
• Total energy consumption is 1/4th of what it takes to produce other building material
• The weight of the CICABLOC is 2.5 kgs it is 4 to 5 times lighter than the weight of the bricks
• CICABLOC weights 60% lighter than the CMU blocs
• CICABLOC is 40% lighter than the Cast in place blocs
• CICABLOC is filled with soil and lime, and it has thermal resistance of 0.261 W/m K, in other word it gives 10 degree temperature variation from the outside temperature as per EU norms EN 12664
• Fire resistance is 2+ hours and temperature of degradation is >300 degree Celsius, as per the EU norms no NF EN 15 701 and EN 438
• Superior Sound absorption qualities due to the blocks interconnected tightly with each other and the blocks are also filled with soild and lime
• Offer sound attenuation of about 42dB, thus blocking all the major sounds and disturbances
• It is ideal for schools, hospitals, hotels, offices, multi – family housing and other structures that require acoustic insulation.
• Concealed sanitary and electrical installation is possible, during the construction phase itself
• It retains properties over time
• Because of its interlocking, it prevents from seepage of rain water, thus prevent from the water spots, colour damage which normally happens in all the houses in India.
• It is termite proof
• The resistance to Flexibility is >80 Mpa as per EU norms EN ISO 178, hence it is earthquake proof.
• It results in smooth wall without any visible joints
• The walls does not require the usage of CEMENT AND STEEL and It is up to the individual choice, without its use also the walls are very strong but if we use in very less quantity the strength will increase, but for small house like 30 sq meter or so, steel reinforcement bars are completely removed.
• The manufacturing is done is Recycle PVC, no other ingredients are added during the manufacturing stages, hence the cost is less
• It reduces the high skilled labour hence the labour cost is less
• It reduces the construction time by 70%, time save is money saved
• The transportation is low cost, since it is folding blocks so we can stack more CICABLOC while transportation, no special care is taken because it does not get damaged during the transportation, hence the damage is also less
• It does not uses cement and steel and this considerably reduces the cost
• The construction of CICABLOC is 60% less than the normal construction options available in the market
• We can colour the BLOCKS with our choice and the colour will stain for longer time since there is no water seepage inside thus low maintenance cost.
• Its thermal conductive abilities reduces the energy cost
