Prefabrication

Burke Last month we featured an article that spoke of the benefits of prefabrication constructions in interior design. In today’s fast paced society, time is of the essence. Using prefabricated interior solutions are an excellent alternative to conventional construction methods, as they make the construction process quicker, more flexible and more efficient, as well as help cut down production costs. Learn more about prefabrication and its benefits with Lane Office CEO Gregory F. Burke, who recently

The popularity of Modular homes is on the rise. According to Global Industry Analysts Inc., shipping of modular houses in the U.S. is expected to hit 112,000 units next year. As more people embrace modular housing, understanding how to buy a modular home is becoming increasingly necessary. It is no surprise that many people are choosing modular homes instead of the conventionally built ones. Modular homes, also referred to as prefabricated (prefab) homes are typically relatively inexpensive and environmentally

Sources of literature refer to prefabrication, off-site construction, pre-assembly and modularisation concepts either respectively or collectively, (Haas et al., 2000). Prefabrication -Haas et al (2000), prefabrication normally involves a single skill or trade, such as electrical, or piping, and this can be defined as “a manufacturing process, which generally takes place at a specialized facility, in which various materials are joined to form a component part of a final installation” (Tatum et al

INTRODUCTION: Today we see different amazing and unique structures of civil engineering, it should be noted that these are not only the structures these are wonders of civil engineering. What civil engineering actually is? Civil word comes from civilized. Civil engineering is that engineering in which different type of construction is done just to benefit humanity. Civil engineers work for civilization. Civil engineers are the cause of materialistic wonders nowadays. One of the wonder of civil engineering

building method through drawings and scale models, he was able to efficiently approach construction of the structures. This included pre casting a majority of the forms on site which cut back on material waste. The building yard had become a prefabrication work area for the lightweight joints of the ribs so the limited resources could be given to the load bearing bases. By

construction and backfilling processes in order to minimize the usage of natural aggregates and land filling and 5) heavy building materials with high thermal mass will result in less energy consumption and fewer carbon emissions. Nonetheless, Nielsen (2008) did not take into account other greenhouse gases that constitute a considerable amount of equivalent carbon dioxide as methane, nitrous oxide, and fluorinated gases. Valipour et al. (2014) proposed Zeolite material which is considered as a type

High rate of population grow and improvement in the technology forced individuals to move to rural area. As a result, they use more and more personal vehicles for traveling and commuting to urban areas and big cities each day. On the other side, most bridges in Canada and United States by now are more than 50 years old. Therefore, soon or later, rehabilitation or replacement on bridges are unavoidable (John R. Fowler). However, how to manage the bridge rehabilitation or replacement by having minimum

Armand Gorrell 10.13.16 Theories II- N. Leach Made by Robots: Challenging Architecture at a Larger Scale The section I read covered the history of the Industrial Revolution and its impact on the building process from the 18th century to the 19th century. Beginning in the 18th century and throughout the 19th century, new machinery, and industrially fabricated materials began to appear on construction sites. Entering the 20th century there was a real attempt to adopt the industrial manufacturing processes

Sweden has experienced a dramatic increase in its number of immigrants, particularly asylum seekers, receiving more refugees per capita than any other European country in the past couple of years, further straining the housing system. Public housing companies have assumed significant responsibility, through leases of accommodation centers to the Swedish Migration Agency and letting homes directly to newcomers. Much of these efforts though are insufficient, as many new arrivals languish in temporary

CAREER PROFILE I am actively pursuing a challenging new role as a Piping Supervisor where I can utilise my extensive training, skills and experience working on various oil & gas, energy and construction projects over the past 14 years. As a capable and effective leader, I am confident I would make a valuable addition to your team with proven capabilities in supervising and developing work crews to ensure maximum productivity in line with project plans and specifications.
