Moladi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Moladi is a South African company specialising in technology for producing low cost housing, mainly intended for third world countries, by a patented process of reusable plastic formwork. The process involves creating a mould the form of the complete house (usually one-story only). This wall mould is then filled with an aerated form of mortar.
The process has won the Design for Development award of the South African Bureau of Standards Design Institute in 1997, with the institute praising Moladi as:
- ...an interlocking and modular shutter system for moulding complex concrete structures. The panels are lightweight and very robust. The system is especially suited for low-cost, mass housing schemes.[1]
Moladi exports mainly to third world countries like Panama, where the company also plans to set up a factory. [2]
