Cast-in-situ hand-placed hempcrete around a softwood timber structural
frame.
Hand-placing
The hand-placing of cast-in-situ hempcrete refers to the use of manual labour to place the
hempcrete into the void created by the shuttering, as well as to ferry it from the mixer to
the place where it is needed. The placing process needs to be carried out carefully to ensure
both the quality and certain desirable characteristics of the finished material. The manual
transport of the hempcrete is done using large tubs or buckets, since it is a relatively light-
weight material.
