Modular construction with Sismo Spain
Modular industrialized system
Sismo Spain, as an industrialized system, is also a modular building system with EPS lost formwork panels.
As modular construction system, in our factory we are produce the Sismo modules according to the architect’s design given for each project. Afterwards, they are transported to the site for the assembly and installation.
Our modules are custom-made and versatile, so they perfectly adapt to any kind of construction anywhere in the world.
Use and components of Sismo modules
The SISMO® module is universal and can be adapted to every project, from foundations and cellars up to roof structures. It’s high productivity, it’s brilliant simplicity and the modest demands for materials and labour make the SISMO® module the best solution for every building project.
The basic structure of the SISMO® construction system is a three dimensional module, the SISMO® module. This module is made from a galvanized steel wire lattice. At the exterior sides infill panels are inserted. These panels transform the lattice into a closed structure, which is filled with structural material (concrete). The steel wires also act as armature and anchoring for the finishing material.
The lattice
The basic element of the Sismo concept is a three-dimensional lattice made of galvanized steel wire.
This lattice performs a number of basic function:
- It serves to receive the infill panels forming the shuttering for the structural material
- It acts as an armature and as an anchoring for the cladding or rendering.
- it acts as a guide for concrete reinforcement.
In our factory we make the lattice with the required dimensions – according to the project – and it is used to place the EPS lost formwork panels.
The infill panels
The infill panels transform the lattice into a closed structure.
The type of infill used is governed by the purpose of the wall. The material will depend on whether the wall is load-bearing or not, insulated or otherwise. The lattice is so flexible that numerous alternative construction methods can be used according to the function of the walls and the type of materials that are locally available.
The structural filler
The installation of the infill panels creates a closed space to be filled with the structural material.
The exact material used depends on the purpose of the structure and locally available materials. Both high density and light concretes are frequently employed. Reinforcement can be added when local codes so require.
The final module will have the height of the floor and the dimensions that have been studied in the project, being prepared for installations and finishes.
Installation processes
Sismo Spain in 5 steps
Our clients say that Sismo Spain is fast, easy, cost-efficient
It is by far one of the best building systems currently on the market.
As collaborators of Sismo in the Canary Islands, for us and our clients it is a pleasant experience to be able to count on this company.
Efficient, environmentally-friendly, cost saving and highly innovative building system.
Gran sistema. Buen acabado. La mejor solución completa a estructura y aislamiento. Todo a la vez. Como decía el arquitecto Sáenz de Oiza.
Excellent construction system. Easy and quick to assemble. They have a very competent technical team for measurements and budgets.
From our company we have been working with SISMO for several years on different projects, both single-family homes and multi-family buildings. They have always responded quickly and seriously, highlighting the technical aspect they provide to find solutions to the singularities of each project.
