Water crisis is a major
concern that has worried every nation across the globe. The excess demands and
depleting availability has created an unavoidable scenario of crisis that must
be addressed in all ways possible.
Alleviation of water
wastage must be practiced in all domains and the same is to be catered by the
construction sector. Conventional brick and mortar or concrete construction
methods are high water consuming activities and result in enormous wastage of
the same as well. There is no controlled strategy to prevent wastage of water
in construction projects and thus massive volumes get lost in the
processes.
Water has an essential
requirement in various phases of construction such as preparation of concrete,
wetting surfaces, cooling of concrete elements, cleaning of material as well as
in preparation of plaster for surfaces. In each of these processes, large
volumes of water are utilized and much is wasted as
well.
Eliminating the reliance of
water in construction through prefabrication
Prefabrication is a “Dry
Construction Technique” that allows development of building components without
utilization of water. This method caters to the current awareness and demands
for change. By implementation of these processes, greater savings in water
consumption can be achieved at each and every stage of process of construction
as well as post-construction.
As these modular construction techniques usually involve working with metal frames, composite rockwool sandwich panels, wooden elements and dry foundations, there is minimum dependency on water.
Prefabrication technology
is the only viable solution to target better water wastage reduction in
construction processes and thus cater to the rising concerns of crisis.
Prefabrication technology is an overall sustainable process that alleviates
resource wastage and enables better energy savings as well.
Another factor that makes
modular technology a viable alternative to the traditional construction method is
its involvement of materials that are 100% recyclable. This delivers
unparalleled efficiency, sustainability as well as environmental protection standards with an overall saving in cost and
resources.
The flexible approaches of design and ergonomics serve a fantastic possibility for reusing modular construction elements to gain myriad utilization possibilities. This way altering a building altogether can be accomplished without the need of any fresh resources thus enabling better material and water savings.
The incredible advantages
of dry construction processes enable better savings of resources and through
environmental-friendly processes, it becomes possible to preserve water for
flourishment of the future generations. EPACK offers Rockwool panel solutions, LGSF
structures, portable buildings and many other modular construction offerings
that are vital to derive technologies that enable sustainable development
processes.
