Yorkon brings modular retail building to interbuild
The building will comprise two 14m long modules and will be fitted out off site as a convenience store, complete with curtain walling, checkout, gondolas and pre-installed terrazzo flooring. It will be transported to the NEC in Birmingham by road and installed at ‘The Village’ – a new show feature which will explore different approaches to off-site construction for commercial and public sector applications. The modular store at Interbuild will also be the official launch of the new high performance concrete floor option from Yorkon. This new innovation in modular building has been developed to provide a robust floor construction for high traffic areas and heavy, variable loads. It will achieve a point load of 7kN and a UDL (uniformly distributed load) of up to 7.5kN/m2 – believed to be the highest floor performance currently available for a modular building. This latest option for the Yorkon modular system allows terrazzo tiling to be pre-installed, with all the speed and quality benefits of off-site construction. It also offers enhanced acoustic performance and further improved energy efficiency because of the greater thermal mass of concrete. The option has already been used for two superstore extensions for Sainsbury’s in Norfolk and Nottinghamshire – the first time the retailer has used pre-installed terrazzo flooring. Other new developments for the Yorkon modular system include:• a wider range of glazing, cladding and roofing options The developments are part of Yorkon’s commitment to pushing forward the boundaries of modular building, and combine innovative design and construction technology with all the advantages of off site fabrication. For further PRESS information, please contact: Joanne Bridges, PRO – Yorkon Editor’s Notes 1. The Yorkon approach to off-site construction offers a number of clear advantages over site-based building methods: - enhanced thermal efficiency and greater sustainability 2. Off-site construction involves the manufacture of steel-framed modules in a controlled factory environment, using production line technology, whilst the foundation works are completed on site. The modules are delivered to site by road where they are craned into position in just a few days ready for the final stages of fitting out. 3.
