Info: Produces some of the most advanced
modular building systems available. They are designed
and manufactured under controlled conditions using the
latest technology in state-of-the-art production
facilities. The steel-framed buildings are fitted out in
the factory before being delivered to site by road,
where they are craned onto pre-prepared foundations in a
matter of hours.
Up to 67 per cent less
energy is required to produce a modular building
compared to an equivalent traditionally built project
(source: Arup Research and Development). The insulation
materials used in the walls, roof and floor of Yorkon
buildings have an ODP (Ozone Depleting Potential) of
zero – minimising their impact on the environment.
Reduced noise and
pollution: there are up to 90 per cent fewer vehicle
movements (source: Mtech), which mean less environmental
pollution because of reduced vehicle mileage. Noise and
dust levels on site are also minimised.
Less waste: material
useage in the factory is minimised by the careful design
and procurement of materials, reducing the amount of
waste generated both on and off site. More than 60 per
cent of waste is recycled in the production centre, and
the cost of waste sent to landfill has been reduced by
more than 50 per cent over the last three years. |
