Worlds smallest formwork module Worlds smallest formwork module - moladi Through creative engineering and sophisticated manufacturing, moladi aims to advance living standards and spaces affordably. moladi is an advanced building technology that utilises an innovative re-usable plastic formwork system to reduce the required skills to produce quality affordable homes and other structures that are socially acceptable by speeding up delivery and thus reducing cost. By emulating the methodology of the automotive assembly line, moladi implements the principles applied by Henry Ford; reducing cost by increasing production output by de-skilling the production operation, making homes affordable. Worlds smallest formwork module - moladi Hennie Botes Inventor moladi plastic formwork   Hennie Botes designed and invented the modular plastic formwork system in 1986. moladi is still to this day, the smallest module formwork in the world.

Plastic moulds moladi houses  Plastic Moulds moladi houses Plastic moulds moladi houses Unique technique for quick house building: use recycled plastic moulds structures to pour a mortar mix. The work is claimed to be done in one day (four hours to setup the mold structure, two hours to fill it), then needs 7 days to strengthen. Each modular plastic panel is 30x30cm, can be reused up to 50 times, and the wall thickness vary between 100 and 150mm. The current system considers the inclusion of the doors, windows, toilet and kitchen system. The electrical and plumbing systems are (somehow) integrated in the mold structure. Founded in 1986 by Hennie Botes in South Africa, moladi came to birth with this solution to the answer the critical situation of housing, combined with the lack of skills. The assembling process is apparently extremely easy, especially considering the overall timespan of a brick construction. Hennie Botes claims indeed that “over 90% of a construction team on a ...

Lightweight Formwork | moladi Lightweight Formwork The focus of moladi has always been on affordable and low-income homes for the mass market. Due to the continuous improvements over nearly three decades moladi has emerged as a leader in the field of “producing” top quality structures in a very short period at a reduced price, implementing the patented lightweight formwork system. The moladi system consists of a lightweight reusable and recyclable plastic formwork or mould, which is filled with stone-less concrete and a special admixture. The lightweight formwork can be reused up to 50 times. According to the founder Hennie Botes, the brickless walls can withstand all types of weather. The formwork is lightweight allowing easy transportation. Due to the simplicity in design and the repetitive application scheme, construction costs can be reduced significantly. The moladi model is not only cost-effective but fast, too. The wall structure of a house can be completed w...

MOLADI - CONSTRUCTION CONFERENCE UAE  moladi in Abu Dhabi MOLADI - CONSTRUCTION CONFERENCE UAE - NOVEMBER 2014 Moladi CEO, Mr Hennie Botes, has been invited to present the South African invention to “Innovate Change”. A solution for the delivery of quality affordable mass housing. Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is becoming a hotspot for constructions projects as more than $2 trillion has been awarded for this purpose for the next three years. In United Arab Emirates (UAE), there are about $75 billion worth of construction projects planned in Abu Dhabi in the next three years, along with numerous project opportunities in the Western Region. Prefabrication has not had a steady increase in its utilisation in the Middle East for commercial and residential projects; however, property and construction developers are looking at this as one of the ways to mobilise further growth. Prefabrication and modular construction is taking a leap frog now as technologies, such as BIM, has en...
