Our Services
Soil testing
You are interested to build with earth, but you don´t know if your soil is suitable or how to compose your mix? We can do soil testing for you: you just need to send us one sample of 1 Kg, with references: sampling depth, sampling conditions, etc. In case the quarry has really different soil type´s veins, it is preferable to send various samples. Another advice: never take the topsoil with the sample, only the subsoil.
Sensitive analysis can be done but also laboratory analysis. For more information, you can contact us at info@earth-auroville.com |  |
Block testing
At the Auroville Earth Institute, we can test your blocks with our compression testing machine. You can get dry compressive strength or wet compressive strength. Our tests follow a strict procedure to get reliable results. Contact us at info@earth-auroville.com for more information.

You have bought one machine, and you want to set up a production unit, but your team need to be trained: we can organize a technology transfer at your place, usually in 9-12 days.
If you have already earth blocks but you want to be trained to build with them, we can organize a CSEB Masonry training course: the duration is related to the size of your building. We usually recommend a demo-house or simple house to start. We can also train your masons to build arches, vaults and domes also, thus saving money and improving the design of your building. |  |
Architectural consultancy
You wish to get your house or building with CSEB´s, but you don´t know how to use properly and efficiently earth blocks, or how to detail bond patterns? Our architect team can prepare design and details plans with you.
For any enquiry, contact us at architecture@earth-auroville.com |  |
Building with earth from A to Z
It is also possible to integrate all the consultancies: concept, design, detailed plans, and construction. See the example of the Al Medy Mosque in Saudi Arabia done in 7 weeks.
Note that the Auroville Earth Institute has an expertise in building vaulted structures, from the stability study to the construction and supervision on site. See for example the Dyanaliga dome. |
