For this public housing development project, there was a requirement to precast planks for toilet\/kitchen area with 9 openings for piping and other services.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Using traditional methods, it would have taken 4 workers at least 2 hours to cut the mesh and tie the trimmer bars.<\/p>\n

By employing prefabrication, we were able to manufacture the same sheet of mesh with the openings in our factory in a much shorter time. Resultantly, the remaining work of laying the mesh and tying the loose bars could be completed by the same number of workers in just 20 minutes.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
