Modular System
In recent years, there has been a notable transformation in the concept and approach to housing construction, making it more adaptable to modern needs and increasing comfort. One such innovative concept gaining popularity in foreign countries is the "modular" construction system. Modular construction is considered a revolutionary design concept that assists in building design, reducing construction time, and finding widespread use in both small-scale and large-scale engineering projects.
What is a Modular System?
A modular system, also known as a modular construction system, resembles a prefabricated building system. It simplifies the building structure by employing prefabricated elements, distinguishing it from the commonly seen steel structures. It is particularly suitable for constructing box-shaped buildings or structures designed using repeated parts of the same size and length. It can also accommodate different shapes that allow for the incorporation of additional functions.
The system involves processing steel components of various sizes in the factory, using high-quality machinery and tools for activities such as distance measurement, cutting, drilling, welding, bending, and painting. This allows for the transformation of steel structural components. This meticulous approach ensures accurate dimensions, precise distance alignment, and high-quality steel components. Before being transported and installed on-site, the components are carefully prepared. Consequently, there is minimal material wastage, and no further trimming is necessary, leading to faster construction processes. This also helps in saving the construction budget.
Features of the Modular System Construction
The modular system construction focuses on the production of structural steel components in small sections within a factory. These components are then assembled and installed at the construction site using a bolted connection system. This approach offers several benefits, including convenient and rapid construction, stringent quality control, adherence to installation standards, and reduced space requirements for site preparation. Additionally, the modular system is cost-effective, particularly for projects requiring large-scale replication.
Limitations of the Modular System Construction
While the modular system construction has gained popularity, it still has some limitations. Due to its emphasis on simplifying complexity and reducing costs, the design work may lack diversity and variation. Moreover, constructing multi-story buildings with significant structural loads poses challenges, as the load and structural calculations must surpass those of typical residential structures.
Modular Construction
Modular construction involves producing building components in sub-sections within the factory and subsequently assembling and installing them at the construction site. Key features of modular construction include:
- Rapid construction on-site
- Reduced space requirements for on-site preparation
- Enhanced quality control as components are factory-produced
- Cleaner construction sites compared to traditional on-site construction
- Ease of component reassembly if necessary
- Cost reduction for mass production projects
Modular System Compared to Normal and Knock Down Houses
Modular houses differ significantly from traditional houses in terms of structure and construction processes. While many people might still be confused that modular construction shares some similarities with the Knock Down system, the latter involves separating the house into pieces such as walls and floors, resulting in longer assembly times and less quality control compared to the modular system. Thus, the modular system offers faster construction and superior quality control.
Modular Types
Modular buildings can be divided into two types:
- Permanent Modular Construction: This off-site construction innovation closely resembles traditional building construction, with various components assembled on-site or integrated into existing structures, ensuring permanent ground fixation.
- Relocatable Buildings: These buildings are assembled using modular construction processes, allowing for easy disassembly and reuse. They are designed for temporary or reusable purposes, such as specialty clinics, shops, or buildings with flexible usage requirements.
