How industrialised construction can accelerate the industry’s transformation

With the UK needing to find new, more efficient solutions to create the schools and hospitals it badly needs, ‘Industrialised Construction’ is increasingly regarded as a key enabler for delivering scalable, pre-manufactured solutions to site.  Correctly configured, ‘Industrialised Construction’ will reduce ‘on site’ works, reduce waste and reduce programme time – ultimately delivering more economic outcomes.

 

For the past 3 years Building Systems UK, a Tata Steel enterprise, has been engaged in a number of projects looking at how ‘Designed for Manufacture and Assembly’ (DfMA) solutions can help address some of the skills & material shortages faced in today’s construction market.

One of the outputs of this engagement has been the creation of Trimawall®   – a pre-finished internal wall panel, designed to simplify the installation sequence, provide efficient access for the M&E installation and all but eliminate the need for wet trade plastering & painting.

Trimawall® utilises the Trisofix® Universal mounting system. Developed for the construction sector, in partnership with Reform Systems Ltd, Trisofix® is a patented, simple to use universal mounting system that unlocks both off-site, and on-site, construction productivity.

Trisofix® comprises a small set of standardised high grade coated steel components and can be used throughout a building. Typically, the Trisofix® panel clip is factory fitted to the prefinished Trimawall®  high performance panel, but can also be fitted on site offering hybrid functionality and flexibility for installers.

The Trisofix® mounting system fixes back to any structural wall type and creates a 55mm cavity behind the severe duty rated panels which, when combined with the individual panel demounting and push-fit reinstallation, makes it easy to accommodate any last minute client changes to room configurations and details.

By minimising the time and material waste associated with ‘snagging’ & final finishes of workplace interiors, Trisofix® can be an important component in efficient, adaptive and circular construction solutions that drive economic outcomes.
