(English) As an integral part of Morocco’s socio-cultural heritage, earthen buildings are of considerable international interest. The ancient earthen buildings occupy an important place in the global perception of Morocco and the majestic and humble nature of these kasbahs and ksours provides a unique backdrop to Moroccan culture.

Beyond the aesthetic aspect, the earthen constructions offer various advantages such as thermal inertia which allows a thermal insulation and thus a certain comfort of habitat, but also the stability of the work, the safety of the construction, the durability of the work and finally, a dominating role in the sustainable and ecological development.

AKAL or “earth” in Amazigh, draws its roots in the history of this nourishing earth, that of a country, a people, its heritage which makes all its wealth. Thus, at AKAL, we are dedicated to offering compacted earth panels that provide architects and contractors with the opportunity to adopt this historic building material while meeting current building codes and regulations, a consequence of modern expectations for durability, safety and commercial viability.

(English) The AKAL panel system can be adapted as a façade for all types of single and multi-story building construction. They can clad solid concrete walls, concrete column and beam structures and steel portal frames. The panels are manufactured in a controlled environment that provides companies with neat, durable panels while allowing for the humble imperfections of a custom product.

AKAL works closely with architects and contractors to provide panels on site in a timely manner for facade cladding. Depending on the project, AKAL proposes suitable lifting and fixing methodologies and advises on the assembly process, in order to combine efficiency and homogeneity.

AKAL’s compacted and prefabricated earth panels have been developed and manufactured in partnership with Earth Structures Group, a renowned Australian manufacturer of stabilized rammed earth panels.
