Innovative Prefabricated Systems Meet Challenges of Unique Designs and Sustainability

1.0 Learning Units, HSW

Through technological advancements in architectural precast concrete systems including modeling, modular forming, 3D printing, finishing techniques, unitization, and safety, attendees will learn how to address unique design challenges.

Through these innovative approaches, efficient building designs can meet sustainability goals. Architects and engineers in pursuit of healthier construction materials can utilize the material transparency provided by product declarations to analyze material options used in precast concrete prefabricated systems to make informed building material choices that have a positive impact on our environment.

OBJECTIVES:

1. Learn how architectural precast concrete has evolved as a prefabricated material and how it fits today’s prefabrication strategies.
2. Understand how to realize design goals with cutting-edge forming and finishing techniques.
3. Illustrated through a range of project case studies, see how applying unitization and prefabrication helped project teams obtain their design goals while maintaining budgets.
4. Learn how the design-assist process with custom unitized solutions achieve aggressive design and budgetary goals while cutting time out of the schedule.
