Earthquake and Seismic Forces Performance from Prefabricated Building Enclosures


Over the past few decades, the construction industry has faced a major revolution and has been adopting innovative upgrades which intend to streamline the progress and relevance of the processes. By following alternatives for traditional building development processes, it becomes possible to cherish a renewed boost of performance, efficiency, quality, affordability as well as safety from the technology.          

The steadfast progress of the infrastructure development sector is being strived at not only a swift pace, but with an uncompromised endeavour which favours quality and safety upgrades from the sector. The conventional building structures follow design and development of a wide array of structural types with use of traditional materials such as brick and mortar or concrete, wood, steel etc. While these have faced a major test of times and with major progress being observed across all other industries, it is the high time to push forward innovation and quality enhancement in building construction with use of suitable alternatives such as prefabrication technology.  




High seismic resistance and earthquake safe performance of prefabricated structures        

The environmental changes have resulted in earthquakes and calamities to be more frequent. The best method to alleviate any risks is to introduce earthquake resistant features in buildings which enormously enhance the chances of survival of the structure. By enabling lightweight construction alternatives, the drastic shaking and shattering that occurs due to seismic forces can be effectively alleviated.               

The fabrication shed enclosure as designed and developed by EPACK is typically 5 times lighter than traditionally developed concrete or brick and mortar buildings. The use of metal framing for prefab buildings enables complete absorption of the seismic forces and earthquake energy which saves the structure and its occupants in times of such calamities. As one of the most significant safety features against an earthquake is to minimize building loads, prefab shed enclosures are rated best in that regard.           

Prefabrication as a reliable, safe and high-quality alternative to conventional construction methodologies 

A fabrication shed or a prefab modular structure enclosure is designed to be safe, sustainable and highly efficient as well as durable. It ranks as a better construction method across all the quality, performance and safety parameters. Offering a wide range of benefits with being cost-efficient, flexible, durable, swift and energy efficient, prefabrication technology has introduced cutting-edge construction solutions which delivers building enclosure that come with the following features -        

  • Swift construction process     

Prefabrication offers a quick construction process and being conducted off-site, this method is independent from weather enforced delays as well as resource supply anomalies. It is estimated that prefabrication construction processes lead to time savings as high as 45% when compared to conventional methodologies.         

  • Higher safety features     

The prefab building enclosures and prefabricated shed manufacturing offers structures which are exceptionally lightweight. This reduces the load on the supporting members significantly making the structure safe against natural calamities. Moreover, these enclosures are deigned to be fire resistant, corrosion safe, wind resistant and earthquake safe.      



  • Ultimate durability and longevity           

Wirth a structure designed to sustain heavy loads and materials used being exceptionally high-quality, prefabrication guarantees unrivalled d strength, durability and ,longevity standards. Also, a fabrication shed structure is engineered to withstand any climate.    

  • Sustainable and green       

With prefab shed manufacturing, it becomes possible to reuse almost 70% of the building material, which means that this construction method is environmentally friendly and highly sustainable.         

EPACK is accoladed as the top prefab shed manufacturing company and offers earthquake resistant structures with superlative quality features.

The Best Practices for Maintaining Modular Office Buildings

Modular office buildings are a great option for businesses of all sizes. They are typically faster to construct than traditional office buildings, and they can be customized to meet specific needs. However, like any building, modular office buildings require regular maintenance to keep them in good condition. Here are some of the best practices for maintaining modular office buildings: Inspect the building regularly:  Conduct regular inspections of your modular office building to identify any potential problems. This includes checking for signs of wear and tear, such as cracks in the walls or roof, loose tiles, or damaged windows. Clean and maintain the exterior:  The exterior of your modular office building should be cleaned and maintained regularly to prevent the build-up of dirt, debris, and mold. This can be done by washing the walls and roof with a mild detergent and water. Inspect the HVAC system:  The HVAC system is essential for maintaining a comfortable temperature in your mo
