Ramtech Building Systems - Campus Escolar Permanente
Esse projeto oferece espaço para 24 salas de aula padrão para acomodar até 528 alunos adicionais. O prédio tem cinco salas de aula de uso especial para os programas de arte, música, fala e educação especial da escola. Também inclui um refeitório com cozinha de aquecimento, escritórios administrativos, biblioteca, centro de tutoria e laboratório de aprendizagem, além de uma sala de ginástica multiuso de 3.000 pés quadrados com piso esportivo e pé-direito de 14 pés. Incorporamos uma mistura de alvenaria e EFIS que complementou as estruturas existentes e proporcionou uma aparência coesa ao campus. As seleções de acabamentos internos foram amplamente orientadas pelo uso educacional e incluíram gesso pintado, ladrilhos resilientes e cerâmicos, além de um teto suspenso acústico.
A Ramtech desenvolveu nosso sistema de PMC Slab-on-Grade como um meio eficiente de fornecer pisos de concreto e, ao mesmo tempo, lidar com os solos altamente expansivos encontrados em todo o Texas. As instalações convencionais de PMC de pilares e vigas requerem uma fundação de viga de nível ou de parede-tronco apoiada normalmente por pilares perfurados sob a corrente. Em seguida, um pilar de bloco convencional suporta um sistema de piso modular de aço com uma plataforma de aço corrugado e três polegadas de concreto leve derramado.
Essa redundância de estruturas (despesas com fundação e um sistema de piso modular) aumenta consideravelmente o custo do projeto. Ao utilizar uma laje de concreto convencional vazada no local, conforme prescrito pelo engenheiro geotécnico, e depois colocar um módulo sem piso diretamente sobre a laje, três coisas são obtidas a um custo menor: melhor acústica do piso devido à maior massa (pisos silenciosos); uma entrada no nível do solo é fornecida em todas as portas externas; e não há espaço para ventilação, reduzindo muito a possibilidade de má qualidade do ar interno.
