MODULAR CONSTRUCTION
- Modular construction is a concept of coordination of diamension and space in which building are dimensioned and positions in term of basic unit of module
- Modular construction is a pre engineered process of making any structure a factory that is offsite and are deliverd to the site and assembled as large volumetric component.
- With increasing istallation to the building industry stadily large part of building are made up to prerfabricated component. Delivered of the building site from factories.
- It can also be defined A modular building pre engineered structure that is flexible enough to satisfy vertuality any requiremets toughfs than standerd drywell constructions , its is canbe relocated and reuses.
- Instdustrial building system is one of the improve buildings system that are being introduce to achive the target and faster cpmpletetion with mass a productions of the building elements in placed out of its final locations in a building.
- Industrial building system can be defined as building system in which structure component in a manufacture of the factory, on or off site. Trnasport and assembled in structure with minimum additional site work.
Characteristics of Modular Constructions
- Reduce labour during prefabrications of component and site works.
- Open building concept permission hybrid applications and adabltable to standeriazation and modular construction.
- Modern design and manufacturing involving information technology like usas and computer aided (CAD) nad othets.
- One of the major characteristics of industrialised building construction is the industrial production of components thtough pre febrications.
Why Modular Constructions
- It provides a practicle method of coordinating, the position and diamension of elements in the planning design of a building.
- To permit standerization which enough the use of standered building component for the constructions of different type of building.
- One of the major tension to adopt modular construction is that not only can one save upto 35% of the initial construction cost like labour and materials.
- For mass production of building component and factories which ensure good and consist workmenship and quality.
- Another major reason is the quyality as one can attened a suitable quiality of the elements of any structure that any prefabricated in the construction factory.
- Sustanabily in modular construction can be achived through the factory production of the modular units.
Classification of Modular Construction
1. Basic Module : It is the fundamental size in modular constructions and its generally application in building and components. The size of basic module taken 100mm denoted by M.
2. Sub Module : Certain submultiples of basic module which are whole simple fractons shall be choosen absolutely necessary for an increments smaller then thye basic modules.
3. Multi Module : Certain whole multiples of basic module usally expressed is an M with prefix as 2M, 3M, 4M etc arerefered to as multi modules.
Advantage of Modular Constructions
- Lower total construction costs
- Reduction of site labour
- Safer site
- Cleaner enviroments
- Minimum wastage
- Faster project complention.
- Less site materials
