Practicalities on a hempcrete build - The Hempcrete Topic: Designing and Building with Hemp-lime - page 441

amounts of binder and hemp can be lifted up with a telehandler and stored on the scaffold-
ing next to the mixer? Or, if you are mixing on the ground and lifting the mix up on to the
scaffolding in tubs, is there a way to make this easier, for example with a block and pulley
set up on a protruding pole above a removable section of rail? Will you be able to access
each lift of shuttering as you move up the wall?
Think carefully about scaffolding design, e.g. how will you access each lift of shuttering as you
move up the wall?
Think about the horizontal poles supporting the platform at each level (i.e. at 90 degrees to
the wall).
These need to not only stop short of where the face of the cast hempcrete will be, but also
leave enough room between the pole end and the wall to allow large shuttering boards to
be removed easily without denting the freshly cast wall. You will also need space to com-
fortably get a trowel and float in the gap when applying finishes.
