2. Of South Asian Countries
Brickmaking in Pakistan can be traced back to the 5000 years
old Mohinjodaro civilization where burnt brick was used
probably for the first time in the recent age. Although it ranks
amongst the oldest crafts yet the quality of bricks has
continued to deteriorate over the centuries. A brick of today is
far more inferior to what it was in the older days. For instance,
it is less strong, more porous, has variable shape and size
besides being more efflorescent. All these defects are betrayed
in the poor quality of brickwork seen in the buildings erected in
the last three decades in our country.

9. Leadership
CEO takes all the decisions of the Co.
Example: In the month of June and July employees
have to work more than their routine work because it
is mostly a rainy season & it’s difficult for them to
maintain the quality of the bricks that’s why during
theses months most of the bricks Co. stop their
production.
CEO never gives preference to the needs & requirements
of the employees.
In short Leadership is basically autocratic.

economic issues facing Pakistan:
Hyper inflation, high interest rates, depreciating currency,
increasing utility and fuel charges and last but no least, rising
cost of commodities. Nevertheless , Pak Face managed to
achieve strong operating results by achiebibg production
12. efficiencies ,improvement in operations, implementation of
certain cost cutting measures, locating better sources of
purchases and imports. Going forward, we wil continue to focus
our attention on reducing operating cost, improving production
efficiency and explore new and more attractive foreign markets
for our products.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board Of Directors, which consist of ten members and one
alternate member, have responsibility to independantly and
transparently monitor the performance of the company and
15. The secret of beauty of Lahore city partly lies in the bricks made
of fine local clay, which are used on exteriors of old as well as
the new buildings. From centuries old monuments to modern
buildings, the classic clay bricks continue to adorn the
architecture with their timeless beauty.
16. Brick Production
Basically the process of brick making has not changed since the
first fired bricks were produced some thousand years ago.
The steps used then are used today, but with refinements. The
various phases of manufacturing are as follows
i. Securing the clay
ii. Beneficiation
iii. Mixing and forming
iv. Drying
v. Firing and cooling
Securing the clay
Clays used in brick making represent a wide range of materials
that include varying percentage of silica and alumina. They may
be grouped in three classes.
(a) Surface Clay
Mostly bricks in Pakistan are made from surface clays,
which are 3 to 4 feet in depth.
(b) Shales
These clays are obtained from decomposed rock, may
he near mountain areas.
(c) Fire-Clays
17. Found deeper under the surface. These fire clays have
more uniform chemical composition than surface or
shale.
BENEFICATION
Raw clays are often blended to obtain a uniform consistency. “
The clay is then passed from grinders and screens to secure the
optimum particle size for mixing with water.
MIXING AND FORMING
There are three basic process used in mixing and forming
phase,
a) Extruded Bricks
In this stiff mud process the clay is mixed with water to
render it’s plastic after which it is forced through a die that
extrudes a column of clay like toothpaste. The column
gives two dimensions of the unit: it is cut by the wire to
give the third dimension.
b) Moulded Bricks
The older method of forming the brick, the soft mud
process much more water is used. The mix is put in
wooden or steal moulds to form the size unit required.
18. Moulds are lubricated with sand or water. These are called
sand struck or water struck bricks.
c) Pressed bricks
Clays with very low plasticity are used in the dry press-
process.
DRYING
After the bricks are formed, they must be dried to remove as
much as free water as possible. Drying a part from sun drying
is done in direct dryers with controlled temperatures draft
and humidity.
Firing and Cooling
Bricks are fired and cooled in a kiln an oven type chamber
capable of producing temperatures 870C to 1100C ( 1600-
2000f) Depending on the type of raw material.
There are two types of kilns
i) Periodic
ii) Continuous
QUALITY CONTROL DEPARTMENT
19. The testing of materials is one of the important requirements of
civil work from quality control point of view.
Standard tests for brick are as follows:-
1) CRUSHING STRENGTH TEST
This test should be performed in laboratory. The Pakistan
standard provides for testing of half bricks after filling
frogs with mortar and curing. According to PS 208 the
minimum crushing strength should be 2000 to 2500 P.S.I
for ‘A’ class and 1200 to 1500 P.S.I for ‘B’ class.
2) WATER ABSORPTION TEST
By determining the water absorption one can get idea of
strength and durability of bricks. The percentage of water
absorbed is determined on dry weight basis. The Pakistan
standard requires immersion of full bricks separately in
cold water. The maximum absorption is laid down as
12-13% for A/B class
16=17% for C class
3) EFFLORESCENCE TEST
The deposition of salts on the surface of bricks during
expose in actual use is known as efflorescence. These salts
consist mainly of Sulfate of Calcium, Magnesium,
Potassium and Sodium. When bricks are baked over 1100C
20. temperature, the salts are decreased too much to see the
efflorescence tendency the sample bricks are placed in
deep water in a tray. Water is allowed soak for 24 hours
and allowed to dry for few days. The cycle is repeated.
Deposits of salts are observed and percentage is noted. If
surface is more than 50% affected the bricks should be
rejected. In some areas soluble salts are also present in
the soil and water underneath the foundation. To avoid
these salts, proper damp proof course should be made
b) EFFLORESCENCE AFTER CONSTRUCTION
Due to presence of magnesium and calcium salts in the
bricks and mortar which are insoluble in water for example
“magnesium sulphate and calcium carbonate” give rise to
an efflorescence of fine crystals after the bricks are built
into position.
These crystals usually appear in winter but after two or
three seasons, these are vanished away automatically.
Also we can clean these salts by washing with simple
water.
4) DIMENTIONAL TEST
As it is known the consumption of motor and number of
bricks required to erect a masonary wall, depend, on it’s
thickness more than any other dimension.
21. A small difference of 1/8” in thickness will mean an extra
course of masonary in every six feet height.
