For rebuilding Nepalese brick kilns after the earthquake on 25th April 2015, local brick experts, national engineers, scientists, architects, and international experts, worked intensively to produce this manual. The design given in this manual, incorporates both practical experiences and scientific analysis for both Induced and Natural Draught Zigzag Kilns. The new kilns designed as per the manual will be structurally safe, earthquake-resistant, energy efficient, worker-friendly and able to produce better quality bricks.
