The small footprint left little space for staging, and the geometry of the primary habitats meant that formwork coordination and prefabrication efforts would need to account for the numerous life support systems (LSS) and embedments prior to site delivery.

Like IMPs, they offer weather-tight structural strength and are prefabricated to allow for quicker installation than traditional framing, insulation, and cladding. Once lifted and on the move, the workers must take care not to strike anything at the building site with the IMPs’ sharp edges, including other workers and themselves.

Prefabrication has been transformative in improving worksite safety and mak ing on-site assembly come together quickly with less on-site labor and fewer moving parts, people, and vehicles. Prefabricating much of a data center’s MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) infrastructure has been another huge win.

In the modern construction industry, the term “prefabrication” or “precast” holds a significant value. In cast in situ construction , the concrete casting is done at prefabricated shops which join together with the old concrete surface, and once the concrete is poured, they become inseparable.

When the walls are ready, they’re tilted into vertical position and set on foundational footings where they form the external structure of the building. Each panel is temporarily braced until the roof ties the structure together. Because erecting Tilt-Up concrete panels can be done quickly, new structures become enclosed sooner.
