Abstract


This panelling system offers the market solutions for dwellings, schools, health centers and, in general, for all cases in which urgent delivery and eventual recuperation are needed, notably reducing transportation costs, due to the possibility of shipping in manageable packages of small size. The light modules can be grouped in various manners, insofar as floorplan and height, thus obtaining real buildings, in advantageous competition with traditional construction in some aspects, besides contributing great mobility and speed. In exchange, a more detailed study is required, as well as a carefully prepared project, as the result is from an industrial process. The article describes all of the operations, building procedures, technical - structural aspects, joints, aerodynamic transport phenomena, preparation of the site, etc. which make up this interesting pre-fabrication system.
