STRUCTURE TYRE RECYCLING

The surface temperature of 73 degrees Celsius caused these 20 million tyres to burn. Kuwait's geographical location leads to high temperatures all year round. This has caused this 'tyre graveyard' to catch fire several times over several years. So the main problem was how to keep the temperature of the site down.

The main body of the skin is constructed from discarded tyres. These tyres will be arranged in groups of nine. Each tyre will be screwed and secured to each other.

The two steel plates are held together by screws. The purpose is to support in the tyre to prevent it from deforming. A solid tyre arrangement is what ensures the stability of the entire landscape.

Waste Tyres Triangular Spacer Pillars

Consists of a post and a fixing screw. It has slots on the top to ensure that it stays stable on the rubber box. The screw at the top is to hold the triangular spacer in place.

Rubber Box Support Frame

Made from rubber crumbs formed by churning waste tyres. The aim is to be able to provide a stable base for the tyres. At the same time this material has a good shaping capacity to meet the needs of the landscape form.

The intersecting pillars provide good stability to the other structures. This is because it allows for more even forces to be applied to the structure. At the same time they can give a better shape to the landscape.

Step 1

Make the base structure to build. Distribute the tyres evenly over the skin of the form. Attach each tyre with screws and check that they are secure.

Step 2

Check the internal drip irrigation devices to ensure they are working properly and make small holes in the lower part of the rubber box to divert excess water. Then fill the inside of the tyre and the rubber box with sand and soil for planting.

Step 3

Plant the plants in the sandy soil and wait for them to grow.

Process Construction Methods

The whole construction process is sequential. At the same time, after the form has been built, construction machines are placed inside to continue the work. The whole landscape will continue to expand.
