- Your initiative in one line
- Modular prefab construction systems in a perspective of sustainability and circular economy
- Initiative Description
-
Proposal of new prefab hybrid elements for structural slabs mixing wood and innovative concrete. Our goals:
- minimization of the environmental impact of mixed technical solutions for construction – i.e. concrete produced with attention to environmental sustainability;
- dry construction with mechanical connections between the prefab modules;
- certified and constantly tracked materials through Track & Trace system.
- Expected Benefit
-
- economic sustainability: significant cost reduction compared to an entirely wooden element;
- environmental sustainability: significant carbon footprint reduction compared to an entirely concrete element;
- the structural part of the slab gives a significant contribution to the acoustic performance - cost reduction of upper layers;
- facilitated any performance of fire compartmentation thanks to the thickness of the concrete;
- reduction of supply and installation of ordinary steel reinforcement;
- better LCA final result;
- new product development required for MIND and the market.
- Implementation
-
- technical offices of companies
- research laboratories
- production sectors of the companies
- Timeline
-
Start Jan 2022
- Concrete mix formulation - Mapei (recycled aggregates, cement low CFP)
- Connection analysis – WoodBeton
- Acoustic analysis to define all the layers above the structural slab - Saint-Gobain
- Fire analysis to define optimal concrete thickness in the complete technical element
Start Jan 2023
- Production of samples for testing
- Identification of possible tests and their procedures
By Autumn 2023
- Completion of structural tests: panel and connections between panels
- Completion of acoustic tests + various tests
- Completion of fire tests
Start Jan 2024
- Product launch
End 2024
- On-site product application
