Why AAC Blocks Are in High Demand in Senegal?

Senegal’s construction sector is growing fast, driven by the government’s PSE initiative—focused on social housing, infrastructure, and carbon reduction. AAC blocks are replacing traditional clay bricks for three key reasons:

Affordable Housing Demand: Senegal needs 30,000 new low-cost homes yearly. AAC blocks cut construction time by 30%, making them ideal for large projects like the Grand-Mbao social housing development.
Eco-Friendly Compliance: PSE mandates 40% lower carbon emissions by 2030. AAC blocks use 65% recycled waste (peanut shell ash, fly ash) and emit 55% less CO₂ than clay bricks—qualifying manufacturers for government subsidies.
Local Raw Materials: Abundant peanut shell ash (from Senegal’s Peanut Basin), fly ash (from Sendou Power Station), and river sand (Senegal River) keep supply costs low.

Why the Client Chose an 85,000 m³/Year Plant?

Our client—an established concrete block supplier in Dakar—picked the 85,000 m³/year mini plant for three practical reasons:

Market Fit: Dakar’s AAC demand is 80,000–95,000 m³/year (2025 data), so the capacity meets local needs without overinvestment.
Cost-Efficiency: The ~890,000 USD setup cost fits their budget, and the plant only needs 11 workers per shift (saving on labor).
Scalability: Easy to upgrade to 130,000 m³/year within 11 months—perfect for expanding to regions like Thies or Saint-Louis as PSE projects grow.

Key Equipment for AAC Blocks Plant to Senegal

We customized durable, low-maintenance machinery to suit Senegal’s conditions (e.g., local raw materials, power outages) and meet NF EN 12600 standards:

Equipment	Customization for Senegal	Function
Sharli tegirmon	High-wear liners for abrasive Senegal River sand	Grinds raw materials (peanut shell ash, fly ash) into fine powder for slurry
Automatic Batching System	Calibrated for peanut shell ash (replaces 18% of cement) to maintain strength (≥3.0 MPa)	Precisely measures materials for consistent slurry quality
Slurry Mixing Tank	Dual-speed agitator to prevent sedimentation of dense sand/ash	Mixes powder and water into smooth slurry
Mold & Casting Machine	Corrosion-resistant plates (for humidity) + non-stick coating (reduces block damage)	Forms “green cakes” (semi-solid blocks) during pre-curing
Vertical Cutting Machine	Manual backup (for power outages) + dust-collection (meets environmental laws)	Cuts green cakes into Senegal-standard sizes (600×200×100/150/230mm)
Autoclave (Φ2.2m × 27m)	Biomass-fueled (uses peanut shell waste—32% cheaper than diesel)	Strengthens blocks with high-temperature steam
Steam Boiler	Water treatment system (for Dakar’s hard water) to reduce scale buildup	Generates steam for autoclave; 24% more energy-efficient than standard models
Separating & Packing System	Weatherproof wrapping (for rainy season) + PSE-compliant labeling	Separates and packages blocks for transport/project delivery

Export Process of AAC Blocks Plant to Senegal

We handled all logistics and compliance to avoid delays:

Pre-Production: Tested 5 batches of local raw materials to optimize the formula; designed layout with backup generator (22kW) and rainwater harvesting (PSE water goals).
Manufacturing: 38-day production cycle with weekly video inspections; dry runs and load tests ensured no defects.
Shipping: 8×40HQ containers via Dakar Port; provided all docs (COO, PSE eligibility certificate, invoice, bill of lading) for customs.

Installation & Training On-Site

Our 5-person team spent 30 days in Dakar to set up and train workers:

Mechanical installation (17 days): Adjusted for Senegal’s 230V/50Hz power; reinforced autoclave foundation for clay soil.
Electrical setup (7 days): Installed PLC control system (French interface) + backup generator.
Training (6 days): Taught 11 local workers to operate equipment safely, troubleshoot issues, and conduct quality checks (per NF EN 12600 standards).

Post-Commissioning Performance

One month after launch, the AAC bloklarini yasash mashinasi exceeded expectations:

Autoclave of aac block manufactuing plant

Daily output: 230–250 m³ (on track for 85,000 m³/year).
Block quality: 97.2% qualification rate (meets PSE and NF EN 12600 standards).
Energy efficiency: 31% less fuel than clay brick kilns; 21% less water (rainwater recycling).
Market success: Secured contracts for Grand-Mbao social housing and Diamniadio Industrial Park; 3 more PSE project inquiries within 8 weeks.

What Our Client Says?

“We didn’t know how to align AAC production with PSE goals—this team made it easy,” said Mr. Diop, the client’s managing director. “They tested our peanut shell ash, trained our workers in French, and helped us get the PSE subsidy. The plant runs smoothly, and we’re now a preferred supplier for social housing. We’ll upgrade to 130,000 m³/year in 2 years—only with them.”
