For A Sustainable Environment 

• For The Occupier 

• Superior Thermal Performance

• High Thermal Mass

• Waste And Recycling

• Fewer Deliveries – Less Traffic

Advantages of Ready mix Concrete over Site mix Concrete

• A centralised concrete batching plant can serve a wide area.

• The plants are located in areas zoned for industrial use, and yet the delivery trucks can service residential districts or inner cities.

• Better quality concrete is produced.• Elimination of storage space for basic

materials at site.• Elimination of procurement / hiring of

plant and machinery• Wastage of basic materials is avoided.• Labor associated with production of

concrete is eliminated.• Time required is greatly reduced.• Noise and dust pollution at site is

reduced.• Reduce cost.

SPEEDY CONSTRUCTIONConstruction technique= RMC (READY MIXED CONCRETE)

Disadvantages of Ready-Mix Concrete• The materials are batched at a central

plant, and the mixing begins at that plant, so the traveling time from the plant to the site is critical over longer distances. Some sites are just too far away, though this is usually a commercial rather than technical issue.

• Generation of additional road traffic; furthermore, access roads, and site access have to be able to carry the weight of the truck and load. Concrete is approx. 2.5tonne per m³. This problem can be overcome by utilizing so-called 'minimix' companies, using smaller 4m³ capacity mixers able to access more restricted sites.

• Concrete's limited timespan between mixing and going-off means that readymix should be placed within 90 minutes of batching at the plant.

The inside of a transit mixer uses a simple Archimedes' screw to mix and to lift the concrete to the delivery chute.

Insulating Concrete Formwork

• The ICF consists of twin-walled expanded polystyrene (EPS) panels or blocks

• This formwork is then filled with factory produced, quality assured, ready-mixed concrete to create a strong structure.

• The forms are thermally efficient with the EPS remaining in place to provide both complete thermal insulation and a uniform surface ready for the direct application of external finishes or proprietary cladding systems.

• The installation of PolySteel is fast and does not need skilled tradesmen.

• An experienced team of four can comfortably erect and concrete the walls of a three-bedroom bungalow within three days.

SPEEDY CONSTRUCTION

• ..FLEXIBLE IN DESIGN...QUICK AND EASY TO CONSTRUCT...COMFORTABLE AND ECONOMIC TO RUN...ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE

• “All materials used in the ICF system are inert, so give off no toxic fumes. The building maintains an even, more comfortable temperature and air quality is easily controlled with no leakage – good news for those with asthma or other allergies. Problems associated with condensation, mould and mildew on walls are eliminated.”

CROSSWALL CONSTRUCTION This Is A Form Of Construction Where Load Bearing Walls Are Placed At Right Angles To The Lateral Axis Of The Building, The Front And Rear Walls Being Essentially Non-load Bearing Cladding. Crosswall Construction Is Suitable For Buildings Up To 5 Storeys High Where The Floors Are Similar And Where Internal Separating Or Party Walls Are Required Such As In Blocks Of Flats Or Maisonettes. The Intermediate Floors Span Longitudinally Between The Crosswalls Providing The Necessary Lateral Restraint And If Both Walls And Floors Are Of Cast Insitu Reinforced Concrete The Series Of Boxes So Formed Is Sometimes Called Box Frame Construction. Great Care Must Be Taken In Both Design And Construction To Ensure That The Junctions Between The Non-load Bearing Claddings And The Crosswalls Are Weathertight. If A Pitched Roof Is To Be Employed With The Ridge Parallel To The Lateral Axis An Edge Beam Will Be Required To Provide A Seating For The Trussed Or Common Rafters And To Transmit The Roof Loads To The Crosswalls.

Advantages Of Crosswall Construction:-

• Load Bearing And Non-load Bearing Components Can Be Standardised And In Same Cases Prefabricated Giving Faster Construction Times.

• Fenestration Between Crosswalls Unrestricted Structurally.

• Crosswalls Although Load Bearing Need Not Be Weather Resistant As Is The Case With External Walls.

Disadvantages Of Crosswall Construction:-

• Limitations Of Possible Plans.• Need For Adequate Lateral Ties Between

Crosswalls.• Need To Weather Adequately Projecting...

SPEEDY CONSTRUCTION

Method of building with concrete in which individual cells, or rooms, are set horizontally and vertically together to create an overall structural frame. Because the main weight of the building is carried through the cross walls, they must be sufficiently thick to carry their own weight as well as loads from above, and so the potential height of a structure built in this manner is limited. The most common application is in low apartment flats and similar buildings having walls and floors formed by reinforced concrete slabs.

• Type of construction resembling a series of boxes, involving structural walls at right angles to the façade (called cross-walls): its repetitive nature limits its use to hotel-bedrooms, small flats, hostels, etc.

• Type of timber-framed structure where roof-trusses are supported on a frame of posts, tie-beams, and wall-plates.

Most buildings of this type have some kind of lateral load-resisting elements, mainly consisting of cast-in-place or precast shear walls, etc. In case lateral load-resisting elements (shear walls, etc.) are not present, the lateral load path depends on the ability of the slab-column connections to transfer bending moments. When the connectionsthis type.

BOX FRAME CONSTRUCTION

SPEEDY CONSTRUCTION

A roll formed, aluminum, box frame strut for use in making a panel which includes such struts, which struts are made of roll formed sheet aluminum material of a uniform thickness of between 0.025 inch and 0.032 inch. The struts comprise a hollow body with an elongate socket extending from one edge to receive the marginal edge of a pane with the struts being circumposed about the pane to define a building panel. The struts are of a closed or box frame configuration.

SPEEDY CONSTRUCTIONTABLE FORM WORK

The innovative design of the table makes for even faster formwork handling whenever large floor slabs have to be cast. Standard functional components can be installed for straightforward, speedy and safe adaptation to changing requirements on the construction site.

The geometry of the building will determine your choice. Call our specialists - and they will make an economical proposal.

Standard table forms are available in two sizes:: 2.50 x 4.00 m and 2.50 x 5.00 m; pre-assembled units; supplied ex stock. This simplifies the handling on the jobsite.
