Advanced Construction Technique

2. Introduction
Many new inventions are being used nowadays in the construction industry,
including different materials in the construction world, additional equipment, different
types of machinery, etc. In this competitive world, it has become utmost necessary to cope
with the neighboring countries in terms of infrastructure growth. All these modern
techniques help reducing extra expenses, cut labor charges, reducing transportation fees,
long life of materials, and many more. Some of these construction innovations are
discussed below.

3. Flat slabbing technology
This method uses the simplicity of modern formwork to quickly construct flat
slabs that allow for the quick and easy placement of horizontal partitioning. The
use of prefabricated services is maximized since services can be carried out in
zones beneath the floor slabs in an unbroken way. Internal layouts may be easily
updated for accepting adjustments later, which is why every top-notch building
Construction Company uses them. Furthermore, the amount of reinforcement
required is reduced, lowering labor expenses significantly.

4. Flat slabs are suitable for
most floor conditions,
including uneven column
layouts, curving floor
shapes, ramps, and so on.
Flach slots provide a
minimum depth solution,
building speed, flexibility in
plan layout (shaped and
layout-based), a flat soffit
(clean finish and layout-
free), and space for the use
of flying forms. Flat slab
construction’s versatility
can save money while still
giving the architect a lot of
creative latitudes. Flat slab construction

5. Tunnel Formwork
System
The fabrication of
monolithic walls or units in
a single operation per day
speeds up construction for
cellular buildings with
recurring patterns using
this tunnel technology. The
use of formwork and
ready-mix concrete, along
with the ease and agility of
industrial settings, allows
for quick work. Cranes are
utilized to stack and use
tunnel formworks on the
job site.

6. Precast Flat
Panel Modules
These are wall, and
floor modules made off-site
and then brought to the
construction site for
installation. It’s also possible
to make load-bearing
components like decorative
cladding and insulating
panels with this technology.
The technology, also known
as cross-wall construction,
has gained popularity due to
its seamless adherence to
requirements and ease and
speed of construction.

7. 3D Volumetric
Construction
3D modules are manufactured
in regulated factory settings
employing necessary
construction and building
materials using this modular
construction technique. For
assembly, finished units are
shipped to the site in various
modules, such as basic
structural 4/9 blocks or fully
finished units with all amenities
installed. The qualities of
concrete, such as fire
resistance, sound resistance,
and thermal mass, are kept
when blocks are quickly built on
site.

8. Thin-Joint Masonry
Technique
By reducing the depth of the
mortar from 10mm to less than
3mm, this technique reduces the
amount of mortar poured. As a
result, mortar may be poured
quickly and efficiently on the
more extended wall panels,
increasing production. Higher
building efficiency and significant
cost savings can be realized with
large-sized concrete blocks. The
number of mortar courses put in
a single day is more prominent
because the mortar cures quickly
without reducing bonding
strength, resulting in removing
the floating problem.

9. Hybrid Concrete
Construction
This is a hybrid of precasting
and in-situ casting, resulting in
double the quality, half the
construction time, and overall
cost savings. It is a favorite
among those seeking
admirable quality at an
affordable price. The structure
is long-lasting and consistently
performs well. The cost of
construction falls while the
quality rises. Hybrid concrete
structures are simple to
construct, competitive in
nature, and consistently
perform. Wood Proponents Pushing Higher With Hybrid Construction

10. Although the structural frame of a building accounts for only 10% of
the total construction cost, the material used in the frame has a
significant impact on subsequent processes. The precast factory
handles a large portion of the work for a hybrid concrete construction
project. The use of hybrid concrete construction on-site means that
each safety plan is tailored to the project’s unique requirements. By
providing successive work platforms on a less cluttered site, hybrid
concrete construction can reduce the risk of accidents.

11. Insulating Concrete
Framework
As the name implies,
this technology uses
expanded polystyrene
panels to provide
insulation to a building’s
wall, filled with concrete
to create an
unbreakable structure.
The polystyrene ensures
that heat is trapped
inside, while the
concrete offers acute
wall strength.
Insulating concrete forms

12. After WWII, Swiss engineers began holding cement walls and treated
wood blocks, which led to the development of the ICF. Following that,
chemical companies developed plastic foams based on the concept. Jean-
Louis Béliveau later improved on this to control the temperature in his
parents’ Florida home. These forms serve as permanent wall supports,
providing wiring and plumbing, thermal and acoustic insulation, and
serving as the interior side for exterior walls.

13. Precast
Foundations
This system is utilized to
construct a structure’s
foundations, with concrete
piles serving primarily as a
source of strength before
joining to give the foundation
its shape. All of this takes place
within a factory’s controlled
environment under constant
monitoring. According to
Monachino Technology, by
using the company’s
foundation system, the cost of
creating a foundation can be
cut in half compared to a
traditional foundation. Another
benefit is that worker safety on
the construction site will be
enhanced.

14. The connecting perimeter beams of the structure act as panel
beams for the precast panel and are dimensioned appropriately.
Little precast pads may be used to support the connecting shaft
at the center to optimize the dimensioning of the connecting
beams. The 8/9 connecting beam can be either precast or cast in
place.
