TERRASYSTEMS CHIANGRAI INTERNATIONAL Co. Ltd.


TCI is a Thailand based corporation with years of experience in the construction business and a leader in the development of TerraCrete technology. TCI was formed as a result of a joint venture between Rieckermann (Thailand), Pacific Adobe Inc., and Soil-Brick Development Chiangrai Co. Ltd.

TCI mission is to develop and market the TerraSystems technology throughout Asia and Austrailia. Together with its partner (Pacific Adobe Inc./TerraSystems USA), TerraSystems is marketed worldwide

The foundation of TerrraSystems is the TerraCrete block. One of the main features of this new building block is that it has more resilient strength than its fired counterparts. The secret of its success, is the composition of materials and the forming under very high pressures. It can be produced either in a factory for higher quantities, by means of an automated production process, or at the construction site with either a hand/semi or fully automatic mobile press, using certain mixtures of on site soil, together with sand and rather small quantities of cement and water. The TerraCrete block is suitable especially for use in multi storey buildings due to its durability and robustness. It allows to abandon the unflexible and costly steel supported concrete column construction. The blocks seep cell interlocking system, eliminates the need for a horizontal mortar bed. Thus reducing the demand for highly skilled brick layers, thus cutting the costs of construction considerably. Taking all the advantages into consideration, it is not exaggerating to call TerraCrete a revolutionary break through in technology for the small to medium construction industry. The need for developing a new technolgy that offers an opportunity to acquire the basic building blocks at inexpensive costs, was the driving force of this development. Some physical, chemical and technical aspects have to be taken into consideration to produce TerraCrete, as there are many different types of soil available worldwide.
