Impermeable Membrane Innovation for Contaminated Sites

Project Overview

To expand the viability of modular construction on sites with historical contamination issues, we have developed and implemented an advanced impermeable membrane system. This innovative solution creates a sealed protective barrier between the building and the ground, mitigating any potential environmental risks and ensuring occupant safety. By enabling construction on previously unsuitable land, this technology opens new opportunities for development while maintaining the highest safety and sustainability standards.

Project Objectives

• Develop a robust impermeable membrane to safely separate modular buildings from potential ground contaminants.

• Validate the system through independent environmental testing, smoke testing, and air circulation modelling to eliminate risk factors.

• Enable the safe deployment of modular buildings on underutilized sites, expanding viable land use.

• Maintain sustainability and efficiency by integrating the solution within our offsite construction process.

Implementation & Testing

• Membrane Development: Engineered to provide an impermeable, long-lasting seal between the structure and the ground.

• Smoke Testing: Conducted to confirm the integrity and airtightness of the membrane system.

• Independent Environmental Testing: Verified the effectiveness of the solution in preventing exposure to contaminants.

• Air Circulation Modelling: Assessed ventilation beneath the building to eliminate any residual environmental risks.

Project Outcomes

✅ Enhanced Site Viability: Unlocks land previously deemed unsuitable for development.
✅ Proven Safety & Compliance: Independently tested and validated against environmental and air quality standards.
✅ Sustainable & Scalable: Allows for efficient, offsite-built modular solutions in diverse locations.
✅ Risk-Free Occupancy: Ensures a safe and habitable environment for building occupants.

Future Applications

This breakthrough solution provides a new benchmark in modular construction, allowing for greater flexibility in site selection while ensuring compliance with environmental safety standards. By integrating this technology, we continue to push the boundaries of innovative, high-quality, and sustainable construction solutions.
