The small SanPlat 60x60 cm is easily made in an all-in-one plastic mould. For best results the first portion of concrete should be a cement slurry. Later much stiffer concrete (1+2+2 volumes of cement, sand an stone) is added to absorb the excess water.

Serial production of dome-shaped SanPlats at the Maxaquene training centre in Maputo. Note that the SanPlats can be cast one on top of the other, hence reducing the need for spade at the casting yard.

Appropriate moulds, manuals and training give ideal dimensions and hygienic surfaces.

In Mozambique only, over 200 000 dome shaped SanPlats have been built. In spite of its size a dome shaped slab is light wight and easily installed over a simple pit alone.

Using the all-in-one SanPlat Mould there is no upper limit for how smooth a SanPlat can become.
This SanPlat has been sanded with grade 80 (black) sand paper and polished with wax. The cost is minimal and the result fantastic.
