GENERAL PHILOSOPHY and PRINCIPLES

The Philosophy
In general, the prefabricated building industry is a speedy mode of construction but it has to-date shown constraints in mould-making which is limited to a specially designed project. Once the project has been completed, the moulds cannot be reused for another project thus adding to costs, wastage and time consumed.

The O-Stable Panel System uses a fibreglass mould with steel framed casing as a working platform. The mould will be brought to the project site to reduce the heavy cost of transportation of the precast concrete panel i.e. take the factory to the construction site. (Refer to Illustration - I /Fig. 1. 02 to 1. 04).

The Principles
The precast concrete components for all walls and half-slabs are cast in horizontal fibreglass moulds in the casting yard of the project site. By adjusting the side formwork of the mould working-platform (Refer to Illustration - I / Fig. 1.02) precast concrete panels of any size which are adaptable to any design for Architectural requirement can be produced.

If necessary, the precast concrete panels with T and L projecting arm can be produced by adding accessory formwork on the top of the mould working platform (Refer to Illustration - I / Fig. 1.06 item 5: Panel with Adjustable T).

The wall panels are cast slightly smaller to facilitate installation between two columns. The components are removed from the moulds by a light motorized crane the day after casting and are ready for installation after four days.
