Our IBS System

Structural Features

This system naturally has high levels of stability, safety and performance in the face of external forces and other imposed and dead loads based on the special jointing systems deployed into the precast components.

Load bearing walls are combined with shear keys, which are installed on the side edges and these are linked with horizontal bars that are anchored at the top of the side edge. The in-situ floor is supported by the wall panels at each floor level. (refer to diagram below)

The Merits of Precast System of Construction

Why is precast construction system fast gaining popularity and more favoured in the construction of apartments in the midst of labor shortage and higher quality expectation from clients? The answer is simply because it promises better speed, quality, environmentally friendly, consistency and better safety features/measures.

1. It utilizes a "tilt-up" method which offers a superior and consistent finished product.
    
2. The completed properties are aesthetically pleasing, as there are no beams and columns visible within the interior.
    
3. The system used is labour efficient, thus reducing the use of general labor at construction stage. It has been proven that precast method reduces labour usage by as much as 30% compared to conventional method. Due to the prevalent labor shortage in the country, precast method is one of the best options to overcome the problem.


4. Architectural features such as curved balcony, cornices, concrete gables, gutters and window hoods can be easily introduced, manufactured with factory standard consistency.


5. Safety requirements implemented during construction stage :

• No perimeter netting required as the installed wall panel with built-in window casement acts permanent barrier. 
• Cleaner work area as no major brickwork and plastering (wet work) are required.
• Perimeter scaffolding is used only for lightweight work like painting and sealant works, resulting in a safer  work environment.
