Pre-Fabricated Buildings

The design and construction of pre-fabricated structures has undergone little advancement in technology during the past thirty years. Currently, pre-fabricated structures are of similar design characteristics, that being, wood frame with sheets of plywood and dry wall or metal frame buildings. When natural forces such as high wind, water surge or seismic events are applied to these structures, “point loads” are generated at each joint that may lead to catastrophic failure.

 

The AeroQuest patent pending design will allow all-composite pre-fabricated structures to be produced that will exhibit tremendous improvements over existing pre-fabricated structures by using a “monocoque” design, low cost automated manufacturing process and pre-fabricated, “easy to assemble,” sandwich panels.

By greatly lowering production and on-site assembly costs, AeroQuest pre-fabricated structures will reduce the over-all cost by 30-percent or more and will allow these structures to withstand hurricane-force wind, flood surge, fire and minimize damage associated with these events. In addition, AeroQuest pre-fabricated structures will resist insect infestation, dry rot, rust and mildew, a virtually maintenance-free structure.

Unlike most conventional pre-fabricated structures, the AeroQuest all-composite pre-fabricated structure is transported as flat stacked sandwich panels that are quickly assembled at the jobsite. The pre-assembled panels which make up the monocoque structure are considerably less weight; approximately 80-percent less than wood structures, which may allow several small structures to be shipped on a single transport trailer. In some applications, pre-fabricated, un-assembled structures may be transported by air and dropped into remote areas. Structures which will benefit from the AeroQuest design, include; industrial buildings, dormitories, churches, garages, storage and utility sheds, barns, portable shelters, temporary housing, military structures, and other similar structures.
