Benefits and Prefabricated Construction Issues

July 10th, 2011

Some advantages of prefabricated construction in the building industry are:

  • A faster construction time, since the employment structure in the sitting, construction of foundation and the establishment of prefabricated components.
  • The amount of material required is reduced.
  • Precast unit production on a massive area to make it more practical to use the machine and therefore needs the number of workers who are too much to overcome.
  • Reduced need for human labor and demands to have more expertise.
  • The quality of the resulting better as a result of the manufacturing process which is always under close supervision and remain the use of machinery and tidy working environment.
  • Construction work can be implemented without depending on weather conditions.

Problems in the prefabricated construction are:

  • Transportation components from the factory to the site
  • The difficulty in handling in the field, especially in the erection (establishment), lifting (removal) and connecting (grafting at the time of finalization of construction
  • Implementation of such a means that there are additional costs and technical problems.

The Principle and General Description of Prefabricated Construction

July 3rd, 2011

Industrialization in building construction is a natural progression as well as has happened in other industries. Actually slower than the others because it faced greater obstacles in the building industry, which not only are fashionable trends (the latest fashion trend), but also deals with the statement that demands value: Changes in mental attitude and thoughts of some experts.

The Path to Building Industrialization

  • So far, people feel attached to the house that should be valued individually, then of course people will feel something else when suddenly residential accommodation:
  • Provided in the form of blocks or flats that are not building as usual.
  • Buildings are not designed specifically as an individual user requests.
  • Building was established in the form of products that have been completed without any more intervention from the user the opportunity.
  • Building on the design with a performance similar or even equal.
  • The building is directly so if you want to design and build individually.
  • With a very limited choice.

How to Developed Industrialization?

The building industry should also make progress; use of cranes and other machines but with a broader way. Backwardness in the building industry developed with an automated way of industrialization in the entire process from the preparation and manufacture, casting, concreting (foundry), prestressing, storage, transportation (freight), erection (establishment), lifting (removal) and handling.

Prefabrication Homes, Prefabricated Construction and Prefabricated Components

June 23rd, 2011

Prefabrication is the industrialization of the construction method in which the components are mass produced is assembled (assembled) in the building with the help of cranes and lifting equipment and handling the other.

Prefabricated Structural Components made ​​from concrete with precast units / numbers precast or precast elements (printing units) depending on the alternative use, the printing is controlled by both hardening and given time to achieve certain desired strength before being picked up and taken to the actual construction footprint for development.

Construction methods are made ​​using prefabricated components are collectively referred to as “Prefabricated Construction”. Prefabrication Construction can be a main building activity sectors: Industrial Architecture, General Engineering (Engineering structures in general) and Civil Engineering.

Precast Structural Components, alternatively made ​​to the building at a particular site. This trend leads to the component manufacturer.

MATERIAL PROBLEM

Materials that must be met in the techniques of building construction with prefabricated construction system:

  • Ability to manufacture through mechanical methods (load luggage and components covered).
  • Possible structural connection and a decent connection and allows it to be made with the most simple way.
  • Simultaneously The possibility of execution of its functions and limitations due to the burden of congenital latitude.

The most important thing is that the material must have the following qualifications:

  • Isolating heat, waterproof and anti-decay.
  • Anti-flame and can be printed in volumetric.
  • Can be nailed and sawed making it possible to change.
  • Not much in need of maintenance (maintenance).
  • It has high strength.
