Overview: This document provides a guide for the installation of Tradical® Hemcrete® using small works equipment. It emphasizes the necessity of trained and certified personnel for installation to ensure product warranty and effectiveness.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): The document outlines minimum PPE requirements, which should be reviewed by a Health & Safety supervisor. Key PPE includes barrier cream, gloves, goggles, and face masks, with a preference for full-face respirators with filters suitable for lime dust. Clothing recommendations include long sleeves and trousers to prevent material contact.

Equipment:

• Forklift: Not essential but recommended for material handling and delivery, especially for vertical lifts.
• Water Gauging: Accurate water dosing is crucial. A tank with a pump and flow meter is preferred over buckets for precision and efficiency.
• Mixer: An 800l capacity pan mixer is recommended for house-sized projects. Various power sources are available, including diesel, electric, PTO shaft, and hydraulic gearbox. The document warns against using unsuitable mixers like rotary drum mixers.

Shuttering: Shuttering can be made from various materials, with the Geopanel system highlighted for its convenience and simplicity. The load on shutters is less than for concrete works.

Small Tools and Ancillaries: Essential tools include screws, impact drivers, horizontal battens, timber pieces, propping pieces, levels, string-lines, plumb bob, tubs, and barrows for material transport.
