Description

Title of the invention: "READY TO KIT "SUCTION: A 100% MODULAR SOLUTION"

[0001] The present invention relates to an innovative product in civil engineering: a modular and durable solution, complementing current masonry offerings.

[0002] In the field of civil engineering, an innovative product is emerging: a cast-in-place concrete masonry envelope of 16 m² or more, with the distinctive feature of using permanent formwork for pouring water-repellent concrete. This approach reduces construction time and the handling of formwork, which is retained to form the structure.

[0003] This product guarantees an implementation time of only 45 working days from project completion to delivery, without equipment. It complies with the NFC 13-100 standard for cast-in-place concrete structures and meets the standards and adaptability requirements of our clients.

[0004] The resistance of this construction far exceeds that of traditional methods, while its watertight structure thanks to the water-repellent concrete makes it resistant to humidity and various climatic conditions.

[0005] This product is also modular and expandable, with a configuration that can be adapted to the designer's needs. ([Fig.1]-[Fig.2]-[Fig.3])

[0006] Compared to traditional methods such as concrete block walls, this solution offers better resistance and watertightness. Indeed, poured concrete walls are cast in a single piece, thus avoiding joints where water could seep in.

[0007] Furthermore, this product is certified by concrete plants, guaranteeing its quality and ensuring impeccable conformity across all constructed structures. The technical file provided upon completion of the project compiles all the certificates, thus ensuring complete transparency regarding the quality of the materials used.

[0008] The work is delivered as standard in two colors (RAL 1015 or RAL 8028), watertight, airtight, with low and high ventilation, including all the metalwork

[0009] In addition, this product has several specific advantages:

[0010] • Extended service life thanks to a galvanized zinc-plated metal frame in 7 baths lasting 99 years

[0011] • Increased resistance exceeding current standards.

[0012] • earthquake-resistant construction

[0013] • Flexibility allowing adaptation to various configurations (extension of existing station, pressure relief station...), including areas at risk of flooding. ([Fig.1])

[0014] • A structure that is 90% recyclable with an optimized carbon footprint.

[0015] • A construction time reduced to only 45 days.

[0016] • A wide range of 30 cladding options for seamless integration into any environment, even classified.

[0017] • The interior spaces and the required distances between the elements are respected, thus offering a complete and efficient solution for civil engineering projects.

[0018] In conclusion, this product offers a modern, sustainable and economical solution for civil engineering projects, while guaranteeing superior quality and efficiency compared to traditional methods.

[0019] As mentioned previously, the product remains in the field of a 16 m2 cast-in-place concrete masonry envelope, with the particularity of using a lost formwork for pouring the lightweight water-repellent concrete.
