Volumetric
The Powerwall Volumetric Space Frame Building System comprises an engineered structural steel frame, factory-produced from high quality grade S355 steel, which compares to that used in high-rise steel-framed/site-erected buildings, such as housing , detached, semi detached, flatted development, multi storey residential/commercial, hotel developments. Off-site fabrication ensures that all welding and fabrication is monitored, under the Powerwall ISO9001:2008 Quality Management System, which is audited annually.
The Volumetric Space Frame System is not to be confused with pod-*+ type construction, as “pod” construction does not offer the benefit of independently designed and fabricated structural frames, which therefore sets Powerwall aside from this analogy. In short the system produces a structural steel-framed building, built off-site as opposed to traditional steel-erection methods usually employed on site. Continue reading…
