Ramtech Building Systems - Campus escolar permanente
Este proyecto proporciona espacio para 24 aulas estándar que permitirán acoger hasta 528 alumnos más. El edificio cuenta con cinco aulas de uso especial para los programas de arte, música, logopedia y educación especial de la escuela. También incluye una cafetería con cocina de calentamiento, oficinas administrativas, biblioteca, centro de tutoría y laboratorio de aprendizaje, y una sala de ejercicios polivalente de 3.000 pies cuadrados con suelo deportivo y una altura de techo de 14 pies. Incorporamos una mezcla de mampostería y EFIS que complementaba las estructuras existentes y proporcionaba un aspecto cohesivo al campus. La selección de acabados interiores se basó en gran medida en el uso educativo e incluyó yeso pintado, baldosas elásticas y cerámicas, así como un falso techo acústico.
Ramtech desarrollado nuestro sistema de losa en el grado PMC como un medio eficaz para proporcionar pisos de concreto, mientras que tratar con los suelos altamente expansivos que se encuentran en todo Texas. Las instalaciones convencionales de PMC de pilares y vigas requieren una viga de nivelación o cimentación de muro de vástago soportado típicamente por pilares perforados. A continuación, un pilar de bloque convencional soporta un sistema de suelo modular de acero con una cubierta de acero corrugado y tres pulgadas de hormigón ligero vertido.
Esta redundancia de estructuras (gastos de cimentación y un sistema de suelo modular) añade un coste considerable al proyecto. Utilizando una losa de hormigón convencional vertida in situ, tal y como prescribe el ingeniero geotécnico, y colocando después un módulo sin suelo directamente encima de la losa, se consiguen tres cosas a un coste menor: mejor acústica del suelo gracias a una mayor masa (suelos silenciosos); se proporciona una entrada a nivel de rasante en todas las puertas exteriores; y no hay espacio de arrastre que ventilar, lo que reduce en gran medida la posibilidad de una mala calidad del aire interior.
