Humanity a revolutionary logistics system

• Developing Country Rural Village Buildings for
  Humanity construction system for schools,
  clinics, community centers and churches
• Charles Dushek advocates Buildings for Humanity
  a revolutionary logistics system for building
  schools, clinics, community centers and churches
  in rural areas in developing country locations.
• On-Site Mobile Concrete Mixing Pouring
  Logistics Systems
• The Global Childrens Opportunities Alliance
  (GCOA) is developing a project Buildings for
  Humanityto provide the concrete mixing and
  pouring delivery equipment to manufacture/prepare
  high quality concrete in remote developing
  country locations for buildings that would
  benefit children and community humanitarian
  objectives.  By sourcing the latest ATV mobile
  concrete mixing equipment in the
  marketplace, GCOAcan lead the organizational
  processto provide on-site concrete mixing
  services for projects (schools, clinics,
  community buildings, churches) in remote
  locations around the world.
• GCOA has found that most remote construction
  projects suffer from the lack ofprocess
  equipment, and the projects require huge amounts
  of manual labor to complete.  It is our vision to
  solve these issues by providing portable mixers
  capable of self-loading, which will improve the
  efficiency of production, the quality of the
  mixed concrete for the construction elements
  (foundations, floors, columns, upper floors and
  roofs), and the time and manpower required to
  complete a rural area project.
• Almost all Third World construction projects rely
  on small 1/3 cubic meter  to 1 cubic meter
  mixers, which are hand loaded and slow in
  production.  This slow production leads to cold
  joints where set concrete is mated with fresh
  mix concrete  and poor bonding construction
  results.Also, segmentation can occur in manual
  concrete pouring, whereby the agate stone
  adversely changes its concentrated position in
  the mix when drop-poured into column forms from
  elevations of more than 1 meter.  These issues
  are compounded when the production goes vertical
  and requires an enormous amount of hand labor to
  create a bucket brigade to move the concrete
  around the project to upper level pouring
  location sites.

• While labor costs are quite low in these areas,
  and quite often large portions of the labor is
  donated, everyone involved will benefit from the
  quick delivery of large amounts of concrete
  manufactured/mixed on-site in a controlled
  environment with mixed concrete moved around the
  construction site easily.
•  The Equipment
• GCOAwants to lead the sponsorship drive to
  procure the concrete mixing and concrete pumping
  processes.  
• A4x4 mobile mixing vehicle (shown above) capable
  of mixing up 8 to 10 cubic meters per hour
  (depending on unloading time) with total precise
  portion control when adding the sand, stone,
  water and cement.   The 4x4 vehicle capability
  allows access to all areas on a construction site
  in differing weather conditions.  Its loading
  system digitally measures the amount of water,
  stone, sand and cement, which is placed in the
  mixing drum.  While mix designs differ from
  location to location, the standard weight of a
  cubic meter of concrete is 2400 kilograms.  A
  typical cubic meter requires a 50/50 ratio of
  sand to stone, 8 bags of cement and 265 liters of
  water.  Ultimately, the quality of the aggregates
  (sand, stone and gravel)locally available to a
  project will determine the final mix design. It
  is quite easy to visualize the increased speed of
  construction by using the latest equipment such
  as this.
• A portable concrete pump (Above) capable of
  pumping up to 15 cubic meters per hour with a
  hose piping attached pumps wet concrete to
  distances of 150 feet.  The beauty of using a
  concrete pump allows the easy delivery of
  concrete to foundations, walls and upper floors
  and roofs - all facets of construction that
  require large amounts of manpower willbenefit
  from seamless construction afforded by the high
  capacity of the concrete mixing, site transport
  and pumping  equipment.
• Summary
•  
• The combination of the mobile mixer unit and the
  pump would make a powerful impact on any remote
  area construction site in remote Third World
  locations.  An added benefit of this equipment
  combo is the ability to tow the pump with the
  mobile mixer unit- providing a completely
  self-contained concrete production unit that can
  access any site within a few hours of a major
  ocean port.

• The unit is capable of a highway speed of 25 KPH
  (15 MPH), which is actually quite fast based on
  the quality of the roads in many  remote parts of
  the world.   Larger distances would only require
  simply loading on a transport trailer and taking
  off for the distant construction site location. 
  The equipment package can be easily shipped via
  ocean freight in a 40 foot cargo container with
  roll out and roll in access with the container.

• We need your expertise comments!...This project
  needs further expertise advisory inputs from
  civil engineers, construction design engineers,
  non-profit organizations that regularly support
  and fund the building of rural area humanitarian
  project buildings, export import construction
  logistics services business in concrete
  construction, concrete equipment operator
  engineer to operate the equipment on-site for the
  entirety of the concrete pouring phases of a
  building project.
• Please give us your blog comments!...Are you
  interested in commenting about your feelings and
  ideas on Buildings for Humanity in the creation
  and purposes of building needed community
  buildings in remote rural villages in developing
  country locations?
• Would you like to become a fellow collaborator
  within Buildings for Humanity alliance group to
  help communities build buildings that can enable
  higher living standards for underprivileged youth
  and adults of a developing country community?

• This blog discussion of Buildings for Humanity
  is a common sense approach to helping rural
  communities prosper.  Most people are not aware
  of Buildings for Humanity.  If provided to
  communities desiring positive economic and social
  change, valued infrastructure buildings can
  create local prosperity, healthcare benefits,
  schools and community centers without reliance on
  state or federal government dependency.
