WALLS | PRE-CAST CONCRETE

ROOF | PFC Roof Beams

EMBODIED ENERGY THE EMBODIED ENERGY IS QUITE LOW | TRANSPORT OF THE

LARGE CONCRETE PANNELS CONTRIBUTES A LARGE AMOUNT OF ENERGY TO THE PROJECT | THE FABRICATION OF HOT ROLLED STEEL MEMBERS CONTAINS A LARGE AMOUNT OF EMBODIED ENERGY

RECYCLABILTY THE PROJECT IS RELATIVELY RECYCLABLE | MOST MATERIALS

PRE CAST CONCRETE PLAN

PRE CAST CONCRETE DETAIL

COULD BE USED TO CREATE OTHER MATERIALS | CONCRETE AND STEEL ARE THE LAGEST COMPONENETS THAT CAN BE RECYCLED

ECONOMICS THE PROJECT IS VERY ECONOMICALLY FRIENDLY |THE PRE CAST

CONCRETE WALLS AND PRE FABRICATED STEEL MEMBERS MEAN THAT LESS IS DONE IN SITU LOWERING CONCRSTUCTION COSTS THESE MATERIALS ALSO ALOOW FOR A VERY QUICK CONSTRUCTION PROCCESS LOWERING COST AS WELL
