Mortarless Masonry
Maybe it is time to imagine some compromise so all may share in growth products for the benefit of our industry.
Big Box Construction
As with tip up panels, dry stacking block systems can be produced onsite or in the factory to the specification and corporate identity desired. Erection of the wall uses established techniques similar to precast or tilt-up panels.
These are but a few of the applications that come to mind. Dry stacking block systems cannot grow on imagination alone. Much has yet to be done with the design and engineering of mechanical connections, testing and promotion to and by our industry leaders and national organizations. The problem is that most new products are proprietary and dry stacking block systems are no exception. The resources of many cannot profit only a few. Maybe it is time to imagine some compromise so all may share in growth products for the benefit of our industry.
