Introduction • Infrastructure development is a major concern for nations and governments. • The faster they develop infrastructure, the better equipped they become to cater to public demands. Traditional construction is cumbersome and slow. • It fails to meet the growing developmental needs of nations.
Infrastructure development in UAE has been shifting from traditional to modular method to bridge the demand and supply gap in infrastructure development. This technology driven and process based system speeds up construction work in infrastructure development by up to 50% in comparison to traditional methods.
Types of units used for construction • 1. Precast concrete unitsThese are structural units of buildings. they form walls and building facades. • 2. Modular designed unitsThese comprise inside partitions, kitchen units, stairs etc. • 3. Joinery and fitting unitsThese are used for fitting and joining modular units
4. Aluminum unitsThese form the skeleton of sections and can be filled up with multiple cladding panels • 5. Stone processing unitsThey are units used to produce roofing and flooring
Special Technology driving prefabs • Building Information Modeling (BMI) advantage • How modular construction works
Building Information Modeling (BMI) advantage • BMI transitions the traditional two dimensional building drawing into a full three dimensional representation. • It provides a full view of the physical structure as well as the functional parts within the building. Its greatest advantage is its ability to provide a real time view of interior and exterior to all stakeholders at an early state. • With the use of BMI units are manufactured to definite specifications thereby eliminating delays and replacements later.
How modular construction works • Modular units are prefabricated in factories according to specifications. • The manufacturing process is automated and often robot driven. • The units built maintain uniformity and consistency in design and specifications. • It is possible to manufacture all building components as prefabs: columns, beams, slabs, walls, staircases, kitchen units, bathroom units, floors and facades.
Conclusion • The prefab system provides end to end solution for infrastructure development needs. The planning and designing stage of the construction is the most vital. • By using the prefab construction method in UAE it has been possible to gain total control over entire infrastructure development projects and to deliver world class structures in record times.
