How are the low-cost economies of Mechanical Concrete achieved?
First, Mechanical Concrete uses less general labor and less skilled labor. Next, it consumes less energy in its construction process. Then, it requires no forms or rebar. Also, it reuses a ready-made cylinder that is a low cost, combination stay-in-place form and reinforcing element. It uses the compressive load bearing capacity of low-cost stone aggregates. It is simple to understand and use so it improves construction worker productivity. Because of these characteristics Mechanical Concrete simplifies, speeds-up and facilitates the construction process.
