Modular construction is leading the new trend of the global construction industry, but its development has long been restricted by the lack of suitable wall materials that are both lightweight, high strength and easy to assemble. EPS Cement Sandwich Wall Panel has become the ideal matching material for modular buildings, greatly boosting the production and installation efficiency of the whole modular construction system.
In the factory prefabrication stage, workers can cut EPS Cement Sandwich Wall Panel into any required size according to the modular unit design, and complete the interior decoration laying work directly on the panel surface. The panel's flat and smooth surface does not need additional leveling and plastering, which saves more than 60% of the interior wall processing time in the modular production line. A modular unit that used to take 7 days to produce can now be finished in only 2 days.
When the modular units are transported to the construction site, the lightweight feature of EPS Cement Sandwich Wall Panel greatly reduces the total weight of each modular unit. This allows each truck to carry 2 complete modular units at one time instead of only one, which cuts the transportation cost by half. The hoisting work on site also becomes much easier, no extra large-tonnage crane is needed, and the hoisting time for each unit is shortened by more than 40%.
Many modular hotel and modular apartment projects completed in recent years have proved that using EPS Cement Sandwich Wall Panel can shorten the total project delivery time from more than 6 months to less than 2 months. This extremely fast construction speed allows investors to put their projects into operation and get return on investment much earlier, which greatly improves the overall economic benefit of modular construction.
