Industrial building construction process

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a construction process, the so-called “Zaina” process, which was designed to industrialize the construction of buildings. The Zaina construction process operates like an industry that receives raw materials and transforms them into a product; it establishes an analogous vertical production line, the end product of which is a building. It is an industrial process implemented at the delivery site of the product, that is to say, the building.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention addresses to the field of Engineering, Civil Construction and, more specifically, to the area of Building Industrialization and vertical line of production, since it refers to an industrial process for building construction.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]In the international market, we find companies that have a partial industrialization of the constructive components of the Building, for example, precast slabs and walls, bathrooms and others. However, these constructive elements are added to the building according to conventional processes. Because of the cost and frequency of maintenance, buildings are predominantly made of reinforced concrete, and the construction is done in a sequence of activities that evolves from the bottom up.[0003]Pillars, beams and slabs are molded “in loco” in a repetitive process that happens in each floor, in a succession of works to make the formworks of the pillars and the beams, the shoring to suppo...

Benefits of technology

[0033]This document does not conflict with the Zaina construction process because it has an industrial concept similar to the assembly lines of machines and / or vehicles, adapted for a production column. The columns made of robust metal profiles are the first to be installed at the height of the building and are designed to accommodate all lifting cables. The chassis are manufactured in the same mold, one at a time, are monolithic with all utility systems embedded, perfectly leveled and hoisted as soon as they have been run, by a system of steel cables at once to the floor where it will be installed in the columns, through remotely actuated locking rods in an easy, fast, clean and safe way from the highest to the lowest floor.

Problems solved by technology

Naturally, these activities demand time because they are sequential and are exposed to the sun and rain, with random deformations that undermine the leveling, the vertical shafts and the squares requiring continuous manual revision of the alignments and leveling until the concreting of the slab that needs a cure of 28 days for the concrete to get resistance.

The amount of material used in construction is large and requires intermediate storage as pavements become available, which causes a lot of handling loss.

The fitting of precast elements in the construction of buildings has to be very well planned because of the precariousness in which the receiving molds are prepared.

The slab lift processes, especially those using hydraulic cylinders that lift in successive steps, usually require a lot of time to lift the floors, are delicate and unstable.

Any hydraulic process always involves its own infrastructure with the inherent risks of the process and leakage of the product with possibilities of environmental problems.

This system is hydraulic, complex, certainly time consuming and with restrictions as to the height of the building.
