Mountain Earth Technologies LLC offers a comprehensive mobile Cast Earth delivery service throughout the Southwest. An Arizona company, Mountain Earth is based in the mountains of Prescott and is licensed to deliver Cast Earth statewide at both residential and commercial levels (AZ license numbers 133652, 132863). Because we operate a truck mounted mobile batch plant capable of delivering Cast Earth or concrete at a rate of 30 cubic yards per hour using local materials, we can deliver these products to almost any location.

Mountain Earth conducts its own soils analysis and testing and also utilizes the facilites of Cast Earth in Phoenix, where we constantly research new ways to improve Cast Earth mix designs and analyze soils' suitability for our clients. Simply fill out our Cast Earth Site Evaluation Worksheet and send a representative soil sample and we'll return a cylinder sample for your inspection with preliminary compressive strength test results. Mountain Earth can play a variety of roles in the construction sequence. We are first and foremost a materials provider delivering Cast Earth, custom concrete, and other specialty aggregate products. We offer an architectural grade forming service utilizing a state of the art aluminum forming system. Finally we can provide a variety of custom earthen and concrete finishes including plasters, floors, fireplaces, earthen furniture and decorative castings.

Mountain Earth is owned by Jim Boyd and Bob Carpenter, who have been involved in Cast Earth since its first residential application in 1995. They have an extensive construction background as well as experience designing and installing renewable energy systems. Bios and references are available upon request.

Mountain Earth was formed primarily to consolidate the capital necessary to assemble the equipment intensive technology required to deliver Cast Earth at a production level. It is our hope that the service we provide will offer an economy of scale option for larger projects and developments, give more sites access to earthen materials and create a conventionally accepted product capable of penetrating mainstream markets.

Mountain Earth Equipment

A very useful and versatile piece of equipment for mixing Cast Earth is the Concrete Mobile Mixer, shown here. This unit is owned by Mountain Earth and Rare Earth, closely allied with Cast Earth. Its existence is a demonstration of the confidence we Cast Earth pioneers have in the future of mechanized earthbuilding.

Mountain Earth purchased a new set of lightweight aluminum forms, an ideal configuration for Cast Earth. Because the mix is less dense than concrete, forming is less subject to blowout, and takes fewer form ties. This new forming system in the Cast Earth Pantheon takes advantage of the benign characteristics of the formulation.

For handling forms and for loading "Super Sacks" of calcined gypsum into the Mobile Mixer, Mountain Earth also owns a hydraulic boom truck.
