Product description

Mobile Compressed Earth Block Production Unit by Filiater is a groundbreaking solution that revolutionizes the construction industry by producing compressed earth blocks (CEBs) and geo-sourced concrete directly on-site. This innovative machinery eliminates the need for transporting soil and reduces CO₂ emissions by converting excavated soil into durable building materials without the use of cement.

The mobile unit is designed to operate in close proximity to construction sites or inert waste storage facilities, enabling a 'zero excavation removal' model. The high-capacity unit is capable of delivering high-quality blocks suitable for load-bearing walls, vaults, and structural masonry in seismic zones up to category 4. These blocks, weighing between 220–350 kg, meet technical standards such as CSTB ATEx and QUALICONSULT ETN, offering natural thermal and hygrometric performance.

In addition to the production unit, Filiater provides technical engineering support, laboratory testing, FDES environmental declarations, and deployment planning. The solution also includes training and toolkits for local masons, ensuring the successful implementation of the technology.

Tested on real projects like the Charleval healthcare center and Le Domaine des Galets, this innovative solution has been proven to reduce CO₂ emissions by 40–80% and grey energy by 60–90%. By transforming excavated soil into construction stone, Filiater's Mobile Compressed Earth Block Production Unit offers scalable, circular, and low-carbon building solutions that contribute to a more sustainable construction industry.

About the Company

Filiater is a French eco-construction company, founded in 1997 and headquartered in Nice, specializing in transforming excavation soil into geo-sourced construction materials. Committed to circular economy and low-carbon building, they operate mobile on-site production units to fabricate compressed earth blocks and earth-based concrete directly at or near construction zones. Their integrated technical center, laboratories, and R&D drive innovation in materials and machinery design. Filiater has earned technical certifications (ATEx, ETN) from CSTB and QUALICONSULT, enabling full compliance in seismic zones. With projects such as large-scale housing and healthcare facilities, they demonstrate early circular building: zero site excavation removal, 100% soil recycling, and up to 50% CO₂ reduction. Supported by ADEME and Bpifrance through initiatives like MacroTerre, TERVA, and FIRMATER, Filiater's mission-driven model reduces resource consumption, waste, and transport emissions, while empowering local contractors through training and tool provision. Their solutions address both environmental impact and economic viability across industrial, collective, and urban construction segments.
