What this video covers

Constructing a wall with ecological bricks requires precise planning, starting with a detailed project layout to ensure structural alignment and proper placement of steel reinforcement points.1:03 Marina and Michel, working with Alê, emphasize that the first course of bricks is the most critical; any misalignment at the base compounds as the wall rises, leading to significant structural errors.2:06 The team uses a hand level and water level to maintain precision, noting that the process is labor-intensive and requires constant checking with an aluminum profile to ensure the wall remains plumb and level.3:12

The assembly process involves applying a mixture of mortar, PVA glue, and water using a nozzle, similar to a condiment dispenser, to bond the bricks.6:46 Maintaining clean bricks is essential, as even small debris can prevent the interlocking pieces from seating correctly.7:20 After completing the masonry, the team installs steel rebar into the vertical channels and horizontal beam bricks for structural integrity, followed by concrete pouring.11:59 Despite weather delays and material shortages, the project concludes with the installation of a gate and the final structural concrete pour.13:47 The final step requires a period of drying before applying a protective waterproofing sealant.19:35
