LIGHT-WEIGHT DEMOUNTABLE FLOOR SYSTEM REDUCES WASTE BY 65 percent

摘要

Heavy concrete slabs used for floors in buildings account for much of the enormous waste production by the building industry. The three-in-one floor system IXO-Floor replaces the traditional concrete slab, the suspended ceiling and the raised computer floor as well. IXO-Floor consists of a complete demountable space frame of high-strength steel, available in great many module and height sizes. The space frame can be assembled and disassembled quickly and has a number of provisions for integration of building services and fixing both floor and ceiling panels. Additional advantages are the reduction of height between two floors, which amounts to approximately 5 percent, and the substantial weight saving of IXO-Floor. IXO-Floor can be easily coupled to steel columns and beams. Connections with traditional buildings are simply to implement. Moreover it is possible to gear the geometry of the IXO-Floor to the specific requirements of the architect and the client. As parts of the IXO-systems can be custom-made, the possibilities are almost unlimited. A substantial reduction of the necessary base material and limitation of waste material is achieved as all the modular components can be re-used time after time again.
