STRENGTH
Most rammed earth is around 1000 PSI compressive strength...At SIREWALL USA we don't build anything less than 3000 PSI, and we have built rammed earth walls over 7000 PSI. click to learn more.
Developed in the same seismic zone as San Francisco, SIREWALL has been used as a direct replacement for high strength concrete walls, including in a high rise project in downtown Seattle. Click to learn more,
Making buildings that are ideal in even the most challenging conditions (either extreme heat or extreme cold), SIREWALL is often incorporated into the highest performance buildings (including Living Building Challenge or Passive House). Click to learn more.
