COMBATING A GLOBAL CRISIS

If action to decrease poverty is to be successful, increasing the housing supply across the globe is essential.

Adequate housing is vitally important to the health of the world’s economies, communities, and populations, yet the percentage of people without access to decent, stable housing is rising.

The United Nations projects that by the year 2030 an additional 3 billion people, about 40% of the world’s population, will need access to housing. If we are to prevent such a dramatic escalation of the housing crisis, and if we are to succeed in the fight against poverty, we must support the expansion of housing both as policy and as practice…

Advantages of Modular Construction

Speed and efficiency

Modular construction is completed between 30% and 50% faster than traditional construction methods, offering a more rapid return on investment. Building in controlled plant conditions also minimises the risk of weather delays and allows the site itself to be prepared at the same time the modules are being constructed.

Affordability

Modular construction methods incur lower costs than building on a work site, without cutting corners.

Flexibility

The adaptability of modular buildings means buyers can choose from a variety of arrangements and add extensions or extra floors more easily than during conventional construction. Off-site construction also opens up more possibilities for building in remote and hard-to-reach areas.

Strength

While modules use the same materials as traditional buildings, each module is independently strengthened, which can improve the overall structural integrity of the development.

Quality control

Building in controlled factory conditions means that materials are protected from the elements and all components are safely stored, tested and inspected at every stage.

Avoiding construction hazards

With up to 80% of work being completed off-site, disruptions to traffic and business operations are minimised and the safety of workers is significantly improved.

Sustainability

With sustainability being an ever more critical consideration for the construction industry, modular building processes reduce the environmental impact.

Popularity

Modular construction, the process of constructing prefabricated buildings off work sites, is an increasingly popular alternative to conventional building methods.

Modulecon’s Complete Modular System comprises of fully completed modules built in a factory and delivered to site ready for site positioning. The full turn-key solution encompasses the complete installation of all building components allowing for developments to be constructed in record times and minimal tolerances.

Through advances in technology Modulecon has re-designed and re-engineered conventional methods of modular construction and come up with its own system allowing for suspended concrete slabs and walls which are highly sort after in multi level developments.

COMPLETE MODULAR PROCESS

Picture1This process allows for the all structural steel frames to be customised to client’s requirements for module design.
The steel members are cut to size, welded and bolted together for maximum strength and flexibility in connections.

Picture2This process allows for all steel reinforcement bars, steel cast in plates, sheer bars, lifting anchors and void formers are to be set within our precast panel jigs, via welding and steel tying techniques.
All walls and floors are individually designed to local building codes, ensuring that maximum results are reached for local and regional conditions.

Picture3This process allows for high grade 40Mpa concrete mix to be poured into the panel jigs, then vibrated and left to cure under ambient conditions before having the jigs stripped and the panel racked for curing.

This process allows for high grade 40Mpa concrete mix to be poured into the panel jigs, then vibrated and left to cure under ambient conditions before having the jigs stripped and the panel racked for curing.

Picture6 Picture7

This process allows for high grade 40Mpa precast concrete walls and floors to be welded and bolted onto the structural steel frame of the module.

There are two possible ways of connecting the precast panels to the frame, they are:
1. To clad the panels externally via steel embedded cast in plates from the panel to the frame.
2. To erect the precast wall panels with the structural steel columns already embedded into the wall itself during the pouring process.

Picture8This process allows for galvanised steel purlins to cross brace the structure whilst allowing for the plumbing services to be run within the floor cavity and the electrical and HVAC services to be run within the roof cavity, during production.

Picture9This process allows for all plumbing, electrical and HVAC services to be run throughout the floor and roof support cavities provided by the galvanised steel purlins. This process allows for a simple and efficient method to run services whilst providing access to those services if needed.

Picture10This process allows for all plumbing, electrical and HVAC services to be run throughout the light gauge steel studded wall frames prior to cladding and finishing these interior separation walls with a number of material options.
This process allows for flexibility in design, and a simple and efficient method to run services whilst providing access to those services without the need to demolish structural or masonry walls.

This process allows for all walls to be insulated using high quality, non-toxic insulation and acoustically rated Rock Wool materials.
This guarantees a highly energy and sound efficient building with the flexibility in design and customisation.

Picture12This process allows for all walls to be uniform and clean with a fresh coat of moisture resistant Gypsum Board.
This material again can vary subject to client specifications, as you have the option of finishing walls with tiles, Fibre Cement Board or any other material specified by the client.

Picture13This process allows for all walls to be painted to client specification.
This material again can vary subject to client specifications, as you have the option of finishing walls with tiles, wall papers or any other material specified by the client.

Picture14 Picture15

This process allows for all floors to be fully finished with stone or porcelain tiles, carpet, timber, or any other client specification.

This process allows for all fixtures to be tested prior to the module leaving the factory floor.
This ensures that all modules are 100% complete before arriving on site to be crane lifted into position.
Once all fixtures are tested and in operation, we seal around all walls, accessories and appliances.

This process allows for all fixtures to be tested prior to the module leaving the factory floor.
This ensures that all modules are 100% complete before arriving on site to be crane lifted into position.
Once all fixtures are tested and in operation, we seal around all walls, accessories and appliances.

Picture23 Picture24

This process allows for all fixtures to be tested prior to the module leaving the factory floor.
This ensures that all modules are 100% complete before arriving on site to be crane lifted into position.
Once all fixtures are tested and in operation, we seal around all walls, accessories and appliances.

This process allows for all modules to be lifted into place by a single crane lift and then bolted or welded where required.
Once all modules are in position on every floor level, we waterproof, caulk and seal the structure internally and externally.

Modulecon’s Hybrid System incorporates the use of modular steel frame construction together with conventional framing, lockup and fit off techniques.

The Hybrid System is different to the complete modular system as it is predominately the structure of the building which is delivered to site, rather than a fully completed module.

Modulecon’s Hybrid System allows for the flexibility in transportation and is finished on site quickly due to the fact that you can reach lockup within 2 days, and fully completed within 30 days.
