Hybrid construction

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The hybrid construction is a construction system with which buildings of all types and uses can be created quickly and flexibly. The term hybrid is used because different building materials (such as wood, steel and concrete) are used. The buildings can be used permanently or temporarily . Usually, individual room elements or even entire modules are prefabricated in the factory and assembled on the construction site.

Building process

After the plan has been approved by the client, production of the concrete floors will begin so that they have enough time to harden. The wall and ceiling elements are produced at the same time. The elements are then assembled into room cells in the production hall and the interior fittings are completed as much as possible. The prefabrication makes it possible to keep the construction time on site as short as possible. Depending on the requirements of the building, piles, point, strip or screw foundations serve as the basis on the construction site . A basement is also possible.

Prefabrication of individual room cells in a hall

The prepared modules are erected on the foundation. With well-functioning logistics , this is up to 25 modules per day, which corresponds to an area of ​​around 450 square meters. This is followed by interior work and finishing work.

Application area

Buildings of all kinds, such as school buildings , hospitals , industrial buildings or even residential buildings are possible.

advantages

Compared to conventional construction, hybrid construction has a number of advantages. The most important are:

  • Easy to plan and short implementation times: the construction time is only around 6–12 weeks.
  • Flexibility : The buildings can be continuously adapted to requirements. Thanks to non-load-bearing walls, the room layout can be changed during use.
  • Dismantling : The hybrid buildings can be completely dismantled and rebuilt in a new location.

Nevertheless, hybrid buildings have a similar lifespan to conventional buildings and meet today's energy standards .

Kindergarten in Cugy, VD Because of population growth , the required municipality Cugy a new permanent building as kindergarten . The new building should be integrated into the existing campus with a wooden facade and it should be possible to increase it later from two to three floors with little effort and expense. The building was planned in accordance with the Minergie standard , but for budget reasons, controlled room ventilation and certification were dispensed with. However, the thermal insulation values ​​of the building were retained. Despite the delay in the building permit due to objections , the deadline for completion of the building of 5 months was met. 500 m² 2

Adlergarten retirement center in Winterthur, ZH The Adlergarten retirement home in Winterthur will be renovated between 2012 and 2015 . Temporary accommodation had to be built for 150 residents during the renovation period. Production of the individual modules began in December 2011. The first of 219 modules was placed in June 2012 and the three-story building was completed five months later. It offers space for 150 residents of retirement homes, has its own medical center (with dentist , physiotherapy , doctor's office and podiatry ), a large kitchen, several lounges and a hairdressing salon . The entire building can be dismantled, used at a new location and adapted and expanded as required to meet new requirements. 3,927 m² 3

Provisional bed in Lachen, SZ At Lachen Hospital, there have been bottlenecks in the day clinic and in the inpatient area for a long time . For this reason, the Lachen Hospital decided to build an extension of 76 modules directly onto the existing building. During the planned renovation of the hospital, the first floor will be used as a castling area for rooms to be renovated in the hospital. The second floor is used as an extension of the day clinic. After the planned renovation (probably in mid-2014), the hybrid building will be made available for outpatient and inpatient areas. 1337 m² 2

Increase in Inselspital in Bern, BE Because of a major renovation, the Inselspital in Bern needed so-called temporary rooms, which were to be built at a lofty height, 40 meters above ground. The task was to create space for patients' rooms, a dialysis ward , offices and technology in two stages (2006–2008) . A 400 ton crane was used in particular to position the modules. The project showed that modular construction solutions can meet the high hygienic and technical requirements of a hospital and that room extensions can be implemented within a relatively short time. Thanks to the rental solution, there are no high investment costs and associated risks for the client. - 2
