Local labor was trained in days to work with the Waffle-Crete forming system at high efficiency and productivity.
Concrete is a preferred building material in this part of the world. Majuro has high heat, humidity, and salt in the air. Typhoons and termites occur regularly. Materials must hold up in extreme conditions and hold up in high winds.
Waffle-Crete is a fast and cost-effective structural precast forming system. The Waffle-Crete system uses half the concrete and steel of solid panels of the same thickness, yet provides comparable structural benefits. These significant cost savings along with dramatically faster and easier erection makes it possible to build disaster-resistant housing at a fraction of the cost of traditional precast, pour-in-place and tilt-up systems.
