Like traditional construction methods, prefabrication technology
involves various stages of development of components that form the ultimate
structure. As modular construction is a sophisticated process, it involves a
higher degree of precision and better resource control into development of each component that forms the prefab building.
Prefabricated buildings are in essence a large number of individual
components that are assembled and combined. It works just like Lego-building
process but obviously on a large real-world scale.
At the initial stages, a modular or prefab building is a bunch of
countless pieces that pass-through stages of fabrication at a dedicated factory
setting and are delivered to the site for final assembly. This standardized
process of building construction enables better control over quality and
dimensional accuracy.
Let us understand the major components that
make up a prefabricated building -
On-Site Foundation
The foundation for a prefab constructed building is one of the very few
components that is actually produced in-situ. The foundation for a prefab
modular building includes excavation, footings, and the foundation.
Framed Structure
For modular constructed buildings, metal-framed structures are the load-bearing elements and also allow for attachment of various panels and exterior
as well as interior aesthetic components. The framed structure in a modular building serves a purely functional purpose and is constructed in a dedicated
factory.
External Panels
Enveloping the structure frames are panels that are fabricated at a
factory. The PEB manufacturer in India EPACK offers insulated panel components that
enable better thermal insulation, fire resistance as well as acoustic
insulation.
Electrical and Plumbing Fitments
In order to accommodate the electrical and plumbing fitments in a building,
dedicated fixture points are offered on both the framed structure as well as
external or internal panels. The plumbing, electrical and HVAC utilities are
mostly added to the structure after final assembly at the site and these
components serve functional and ergonomic benefits.
Interior Aesthetic Elements
Walls, ceilings, floors as well as surface claddings offer customized
levels of finish to a prefab building. They are attached to the structure on
the site and commonly serve an aesthetic purpose. These are manufactured to be
corrosion as well as fire-resistant.
Joint Reinforcements
Metal Joints even through being hidden away behind panels serve the
highest levels of function in a modular constructed building. They are vital
for enhancing the overall strength and durability of a building. These reinforcements
add to the load-bearing capacity of the framed structure and thus enable greater
longevity of the overall building.
EPACK being the top prefabricated structures manufacturers in India practices the highest levels of quality control and
post-production inspection as well as testing in the manufacture of the myriad
components that constitute to be the overall prefab structure.
Utilizing high-grade and top-notch materials in its fabrication
processes, EPACK targets the highest levels of durability from its modular
buildings.
