Aussie made mobile brick factory!

Mobile Crisis Construction (MCC) is a West Australian company that has found a way to convert the rubble left behind in a war zone into blocks/bricks that stack together a bit like Lego blocks. And the whole process is compact enough to fit into a standard shipping container.

This is the mobile factory hard at work:

Designed to rebuild cities, the first mobile factory is on its way to Ukraine to help that country turn rubble into housing:

‘Once up and running, the factory can churn out 8,000 “Crisis Blocks” or “LayGo Blocks” a day – MCC says that’s enough to build one school, or three large houses, or 10 joined houses a week…The factory isn’t completely self-contained, requiring a diesel generator for power and a freestanding hammer mill to crush the debris and waste into a fine powder that is then fed into the machine, along with a small amount of cement and water. In addition to rubble, other waste such as plastic bottles, glass and mine tailings can be used.’

It would be nice if the Australian government could donate at least one of these mobile factories to the Palestinians surviving the destruction of Gaza.
