PARRYCORE systems make it possible to build warehouses that will last a

lifetime but in a fraction of the time and significantly less cost. The primary

component is a single, manually operated vibrating table which different

moulds to cast over 50 different types of concrete materials including

interlocking blocks, roof and floor tiles, columns and cavity formwork. The

use of vibration during casting to increasing density and strength combined

with the unique design of our moulds significantly reduces the amount of

cement required whilst delivering a structure of the highest structural

strength and longevity. Furthermore, the unit can be taken directly to site

producing materials in situ cutting transportation costs and loss through

breakages during material transit

The PARRYCORE system reduces cost and time of construction by;

- eliminating the need for powered mechanised site equipment

- minimizing the need to engage and pay an expensive full range of tradesmen’s skills

- reducing the amount of cement used whilst still delivering the strongest possible structure

- cutting transportation costs and loss through breakages in transit

IMPROVED FOUNDATIONS AND STRUCTURAL SUPPORT

The system is based on a series of 2 metre high columns each supported by a one metre square, 40cm deep

pockets with four reinforcing bars embedded into the foundation. Reinforcing steel rods are also fitted along

the rebate at the corners of the blocks and, as a result, each opposing pair of columns can support a steel roof

truss capable of carrying over a tonne of roof cladding without the need for horizontal beams.

INTERLOCKING WALLS WITHOUT USING CEMENT

The PARRYCORE system makes it possible to construct walls very quickly and with a high proportion of

semi-skilled labour. The walls in between each column can be constructed without mortar using special

interlocking blocks produced onsite by the PARRYCORE machine. Blocks are produced in long and short

lengths to stagger the joints with each block having a socket and spigot at each similar to the pieces of a

jigsaw puzzle. The blocks are made with large cavities to save material and weight and are lowered and locked

into position to produce a strong, secure wall WITHOUT USING CEMENT. .

Finally, a line of vertical cavities in the column block provides a suitable rebate to house the grills and also the

steel frames on which to mount steel workshop doors.

The end result is an incredibly robust structural shell constructed more quickly and with less cement that

standard methods and to any design according to the customer’s requirements

STRONG, MODULAR CAVITY FLOORING

A further lightweight, material-saving system has been devised for constructing the floor slabs. The ground

floor is constructed by laying rows of cavity formwork (known as waffles) made by the PARRYCORE system

with the joints between them filled leading to a 40% reduction in concrete. Further savings are achieved

using waffles to create up to three additional floors creating strong but cost-effective multi-storey

buildings.

Waffles weigh only 25kg so can be handled and laid down by a single worker who then spreads in a thin

concrete screed over the waffles to complete a floor capable of supporting 1.2 tons per m2. For upper

floors (or to add load bearing strength to a ground floor), sections of reinforcing mesh are placed over

the waffles to enhance load bearing performance and impact resistance in a working area.

The floor of a 150 m2 uses 200 waffles which saves 10 tonnes of concrete over standard methods.

LIGHTWEIGHT ROOFING SYSTEM

The PARRYCORE system has a bolt-together lightweight steel system designed to work with the widely

spaced columns of the walls with each truss supporting over a tonne of roofing material without the need

for horizontal beams. Concrete roof tiles are manufactured on the vibrating table and, as before, materials

are very much lighter containing less cement and aggregate whilst still being incredibly strong. Tiles are

laid along the steel structure and secured in place using metal ties

Trusses are made in two halves for ease of handling and shipping and bolted together on site. Micro concrete

roof tiles and ridge are laid and secured on to the all-metal framework.

THE FINISHED PRODUCT

The PARRYCORE system takes standard ingredients of sand, cement and grit but produces building products

that are stronger but up to 30% cheaper than if bought from importers or made with any other block making

system.

The ingenious lightweight design technology means costs are further reduced and the structure erected more

quickly saving labour costs.

The PARRYCORE system is the ideal way to increase commercial storage space

and especially in countries experiencing rapid industrial development.
