Iranian Company Conducts Complete Prefabrication of Concreting Process in Construction Industry

“The main approach of our company is the prefabrication of the building skeleton or concrete structures,” Majid Ra’oufi, the managing director and founder of a knowledge-based company, told ANA.

“Until now, we did not have any prefabricated concrete structures in the country because prefabrication is time-consuming and expensive, and most of the companies that conduct this process do not have global standard approvals,” he added.

According Ra’oufi, the new system makes it possible to prepare the concrete structure that can be obtained from the factory and thus reduce the cost of the employer.

“The in-situ concreting system is designed in separate steps; then it goes to the factory and then it is transported to the project site with machines for installation. At the end, the concrete parts will be installed with bolts and nuts,” he explained.

“This process is very time-consuming and expensive especially when the project is in unstable weather conditions such as autumn and winter. One of the advantages of our system is, of course in accordance with the standard conditions and in a stable factory environment, concrete structures can be are built and installed at the project site. In fact, the construction process of the structures designed in this company is a combination of concrete and metal structures,” Ra’oufi said.

Earlier, in October, Iranian researchers at another knowledge-based company had also succeeded in building prefabricated concrete houses which highly decrease construction costs in different areas.

“After three years of research and development, we focused our activity on prefabricated concrete structures and then put designing prefabricated concrete houses for less privileged and rural areas on our agenda,” said Sajjad Dasti Moqaddas, the chairman of the board of directors of the knowledge-based company.

“Finally, we managed a structure that is economical, has a much lower price than the traditional structures, is built quickly, enjoys high resistance, and the standards used in its construction are much higher than the traditional structures,” he added.

Noting that construction of these structures takes between three to ten days, Dasti Moqaddas said, “This high speed is highly important in reducing costs.” Asked about the company’s perspectives for the exports of the prefabricated concrete houses, he said, “At present, we have requests from countries like Iraq and Oman.”
