Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Substructure – pile foundations, displacement and replacement, pile caps and ground beams, pad foundations. Basement excavation and construction. Reinforced concrete ground floor slabs.
Superstructure – Single storey framed buildings of portal frame and lattice girder construction in steel concrete and timber. Multi storey structural frames in steel in-situ concrete and precast concrete. Cross laminated timber multi storey structures. Tunnel form and Slip form construction. Cladding to single storey and multi storey buildings. Roofing to single and multi-storey buildings. Structural concrete floors,- metal deck, precast concrete and in-situ concrete. Suspended Ceilings, Access Floors and Internal Partitions.
Services – Heating Ventilation and Air conditioning plant, electrical installations, lifts and escalators installation. Pumped systems of water supply and fire fighting and suppression systems to multi storey buildings.
Modern Methods of Construction, inclusivity and sustainable technologies will be considered where appropriate.
Module Overview:
In this module you will examine construction methods and building services installations with a specific focus on framed structures, and commercial – industrial buildings.
In this module you will examine construction methods and building services installations with a specific focus on framed structures, and commercial – industrial buildings.
Additional Information:Provides an advanced knowledge of construction technology through more complex building types and systems. Students are able to explore construction technology through more analytical methods. The concept of services in commercial and industrial buildings are also introduced.
On the Quantity Surveying Degree Apprenticeship programme, the knowledge learning outcomes for this module are K4, K6, K7, S2, and S3.
