RAMMED EARTH CONSTRUCTION

July 16, 2019

During the design of the Puntukurnu Aboriginal Medical Service Healthcare Hub Newman we undertook significant research into the best approach to incorporate rammed earth into the building construction. We are grateful for the generous assistance of Luigi Rosselli Architects and Silver Thomas Hanley who shared lessons from their respective Great Wall of WA and Warren Health Service Hospital projects. Fro these inputs and with Murchison Rammed Earth the following specification was developed.
