Developing Country Rural Village Buildings for Humanity

construction system for schools, clinics, community centers
and churches
Charles Dushek advocates Buildings for Humanity a revolutionary
logistics system for building: schools, clinics, community centers
and churches in rural areas in developing country locations.
On-Site Mobile Concrete Mixing & Pouring Logistics Systems
The Global Childrens Opportunities Alliance (GCOA) is developing
a project Buildings for Humanityto provide the concrete mixing
and pouring delivery equipment to manufacture/prepare high
quality concrete in remote developing country locations for
buildings that would benefit children and community humanitarian
objectives. By sourcing the latest ATV mobile concrete mixing
equipment in the marketplace, GCOAcan lead the organizational
processto provide on-site concrete mixing services for projects
(schools, clinics, community buildings, churches) in remote
locations around the world.

GCOA has found that most remote construction projects suffer from
the lack ofprocess equipment, and the projects require huge
amounts of manual labor to complete. It is our vision to solve
these issues by providing portable mixers capable of self-loading,
which will improve the efficiency of production, the quality of the
mixed concrete for the construction elements (foundations, floors,
columns, upper floors and roofs), and the time and manpower
required to complete a rural area project.

Almost all Third World construction projects rely on small 1/3 cubic
meter to 1 cubic meter mixers, which are hand loaded and slow in

production. This slow production leads to cold joints where set

concrete is mated with fresh mix concrete and poor bonding
construction results.Also, segmentation can occur in manual
concrete pouring, whereby the agate stone adversely changes its
concentrated position in the mix when drop-poured into column
forms from elevations of more than 1 meter. These issues are
compounded when the production goes vertical and requires an
enormous amount of hand labor to create a bucket brigade to
move the concrete around the project to upper level pouring
location sites.
While labor costs are quite low in these areas, and quite often
large portions of the labor is donated, everyone involved will
benefit from the quick delivery of large amounts of concrete
manufactured/mixed on-site in a controlled environment with mixed
concrete moved around the construction site easily.
The Equipment
GCOAwants to lead the sponsorship drive to procure the concrete
mixing and concrete pumping processes.

A4x4 mobile mixing vehicle (shown above) capable of mixing up 8

to 10 cubic meters per hour (depending on unloading time) with
total precise portion control when adding the sand, stone, water
and cement. The 4x4 vehicle capability allows access to all areas
on a construction site in differing weather conditions. Its loading
system digitally measures the amount of water, stone, sand and
cement, which is placed in the mixing drum. While mix designs
differ from location to location, the standard weight of a cubic meter
of concrete is 2400 kilograms. A typical cubic meter requires a
50/50 ratio of sand to stone, 8 bags of cement and 265 liters of
water. Ultimately, the quality of the aggregates (sand, stone and
gravel)locally available to a project will determine the final mix
design. It is quite easy to visualize the increased speed of
construction by using the latest equipment such as this.

A portable concrete pump (Above) capable of pumping up to 15

cubic meters per hour with a hose& piping attached pumps wet
concrete to distances of 150 feet. The beauty of using a concrete
pump allows the easy delivery of concrete to foundations, walls and
upper floors and roofs - all facets of construction that require large
amounts of manpower willbenefit from seamless construction

afforded by the high capacity of the concrete mixing, site transport

and pumping equipment.
Summary

The combination of the mobile mixer unit and the pump would make
a powerful impact on any remote area construction site in remote
Third World locations. An added benefit of this equipment combo is
the ability to tow the pump with the mobile mixer unit- providing a
completely self-contained concrete production unit that can access
any site within a few hours of a major ocean port. The unit is
capable of a highway speed of 25 KPH (15 MPH), which is actually
quite fast based on the quality of the roads in many remote parts
of the world. Larger distances would only require simply loading
on a transport trailer and taking off for the distant construction site
location. The equipment package can be easily shipped via ocean
freight in a 40 foot cargo container with roll out and roll in access
with the container.

We need your expertise comments!...This project needs further

expertise advisory inputs from civil engineers, construction design
engineers, non-profit organizations that regularly support and fund
the building of rural area humanitarian project buildings, export &
import construction logistics services business in concrete
construction, concrete equipment operator engineer to operate the
equipment on-site for the entirety of the concrete pouring phases of
a building project.
Please give us your blog comments!...Are you interested in
commenting about your feelings and ideas on Buildings for
Humanity in the creation and purposes of building needed
community buildings in remote rural villages in developing country
locations?

Would you like to become a fellow collaborator within Buildings for

Humanity alliance group to help communities build buildings that
can enable higher living standards for underprivileged youth and
adults of a developing country community?

This blog discussion of Buildings for Humanity is a common

sense approach to helping rural communities prosper. Most people
are not aware of Buildings for Humanity. If provided to
communities desiring positive economic and social change, valued
infrastructure buildings can create local prosperity, healthcare
benefits, schools and community centers without reliance on state
or federal government dependency.
