As a result of its business developments abroad, Gestedi has been establishing
contacts with several construction technologies in LSF through international
manufacturers. As a result, and in an effort to get on track with social housing
programs in emergent countries, namely Angola, Mozambique and Brazil, and after
rigorous research, Gestedi decided to set a partnership with FrameCad whose
construction solutions were considered the most efficient when faced with the need
for a rapid response in working conditions that often present difficult challenges. The
close cooperation between Gestedi and FrameCad is currently being accomplished in
projects where the potential of these technologies can easily be acknowledged as in
the examples that follow.
The technical solutions used respect international requirements (such as International
Building Code (IBC), US Department of Housing and Steel Framing Alliance and The
National Association of Steel Housing (NASH)) as far as fire, acoustic and thermal levels
are concerned, always under the regulations of the countries involved.
The performances of these systems optimize the construction methods that were
already being applied duplicating its response rate and building capacity:
- Speed in construction;
- Higher resistance with less tons of steel;
- Resistance and durability;
- Clean working site;
- Ability to manufacture on site;
- No plants (machines are taken to working site);
- Better thermal and acoustic rates;
- Better logistics;
- Higher cost reduction on transportation and working force.
As exemplified below, these construction methods are the most suitable to be applied
in extremely demanding environments.
Example. 1 – Project with 4.000 m2 and 22 full-time workers with 2 machines. In total,
there were 200 workers participating in the production, assembly and erection of the
project.
