House construction at Wenamulla
Compiled by Sanjeewa Illangakoon, Project Engineer (Housing)
Greetings,
My girlfriend and I are interested in your program to construct housing in
Sri Lanka.
I’m a qualified electrical engineer with lots of hands-on experience in electrical and
electronics work; I’ve done lots of house wiring & power systems, antenna work, etc., and could we be helpful ie. getting power into these new places (esp scholls or clinics, community centers, whatever), helping the electricians, training & helping installers, etc.
She would rather do a little more ‘people’-oriented work, but is also an electrical engineer.
Can you use us for 2-3 weeks? We’d like to come in September or so.
many thanks in advance, keep up your good works, and looking forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards,

We would like to take this opportunity to introduce moladi as a solution to the slow delivery of inferior low cost housing as well as addressing the crucial shortage of skills.
Traditionally bricks or blocks are moulded in a small mould and then laboriously stacked by an artisan, sandwiched with mortar, chopping it to place the water and electrical pipes and then plaster. Combining a re usable recyclable lightweight plastic injection moulded formwork system, branded as moladi we create a mould the size of the designed house and cast all the services in situ with a South African Bureau of Standards approved lightweight aerated mortar (Agrément Certificate 94/231) creating a cast in situ monolithic reinforced walling system, eliminating chasing, beam filling, plastering and waste. The result, a fast track cost effective, transferable construction technology.
MCS is a based in Port Elizabeth and global supplier of a fast track building system that offers: –
STRONGER THAN BRICK – An affordable technique to effectively build durable, earthquake, cyclone resistant shelter, whilst maintaining acceptable design aesthetics for social acceptability amongst a wide range of cultures
SPEED – One house in one day with one mould or many houses in one day with many moulds
SAVINGS – A cost effective, holistic design and build technology, that far outweighs many of today’s retrofit schemes designed to strengthen existing poorly designed structures by demonstrating the use of moladi as opposed to costly solid concrete-block, masonry structures or timber frame units
INNOVATIVE – A realistic modern alternative to overcoming the widespread misuse of scarce materials, particularly timber, by introducing a system that combines moladi with other indigenous materials suitable for easy handling
JOB CREATION – An alternative way to enable and empower sections of society by providing a building technology that encourages self participation
ENVIROMENT – Reduce pollution and environmental destruction of our natural ecology by addressing the poor living conditions of billions of poverty stricken communities who are one of the major sectors of society that contribute to global warming.
You are invited to visit our website at: http://www.moladi.com to have a look at the advantages that warrant moladi being awarded the prestigious South African Bureau of Standards Design Award and how your organization and communities can benefit from our Technology.
