MK2 Advanced Construction Solution

MK2 is a Construction System based on a set of corrugated expanded polystyrene structural panels, with a basic reinforcement, attached to the faces, consisting of high-strength steel mesh and corrugated bars, linked together by electro-welded steel connectors. These panels are placed on site according to the arrangement of walls, partitions and slabs that the architectural or engineering project in question presents. The functions contained in the elements of our construction technology are: Continuous high capacity thermal insulation. Structural resistance suitable to withstand all kinds of stress. Realisation of horizontal and vertical closings. Continuous water-resistant insulation. Fire resistance according to that required by the rules and regulations. All these qualities are possible thanks to the combination of the three component materials (Expanded Polystyrene, Steel and Micro-concrete), which together make up a sandwich panel. Said panel has mechanical qualities that depending on the resistance of the applied micro-concrete and the thickness of the expanded polystyrene core, allow design resistances of up to 600 kN / m to be achieved in simple compression and up to 14 kNm / m in simple flexion. In this way, multi-storey building structures can be made with a limitation that will be basically given by the load capacities of the vertical supporting elements, according to the criteria expressed in the previous paragraph.
