Tseung Kwan O Area 137 Fill Bank Adobe Mud Brick

This soil was designated as public fill within the Tseung Kwan O Area 137 Fill Bank.

Basic on site testing determined that the clay content was sufficient for making activities. A large sample of fill was transported to the University of Hong Kong Division of Landscape Architecture, where soil processing is underway.

No additives were added to the soil. This brick was part of an experiment to see which soils performed better with an addition of 30% water. The soil was sieved through a fine sieve resulting in smaller overall particle size. Brick came out of mold perfectly , flipped it onto its side immediately, this might have skewed the shape of the brick sides.
