| Lightweight panelised construction |
• Speedy installation
• Reduced sizes of building elements and therefore reduced cost of building structure and foundations
• Ease of installation
• Components are easily manhandled without the need for heavy lifting equipment
• All components can be installed by the plasterer – no additional trades required and therefore easier trade
coordination
• No need for wet trades and therefore less mess on site
• Reduced number of crane lifts (TBC on project basis)
• Limiting wall height can be increased by reducing stud spacings
• Lower embodied energy as compared to heavy-weight construction (TBC on system by system basis) |
| |
| Narrow width |
| • Increased ‘lettable space’ |
| |
| IBS rod has been removed in some systems |
• Easier installation details compared to Eurekawall®
• Reduced installed costs
• Easier quality inspection compared to Eurekawall® |
| |
| Wall cavities are present on one or both sides of the system |
| • Services can be easily incorporated within the system |
| |
| The bulk of fire separation is provided by the Shaftliner panels |
• Standard installation details are used for internal linings in cavity walls
• Service penetrations in internal linings do not need to be fire rated |
| |
| Fire and acoustic tests have been carried out by CSIRO |
• CSIRO test results and opinions are available to support claimed fire and acoustic ratings
• Proved FRLs up to -/120/90
• Proven acoustic ratings up to Rw = 68 dB (Rw + Ctr = 56dB) |
| |
| IntRwall™ system has been patented |
| • The system cannot be easily copied by competitors |
| |
| IntRwall™ predecessor Eurekawall was developed by Boral in 2002 |
• Boral developed a high level of expertise in the system
• Boral technical and sales teams can provide a high level of technical support
• A large number of construction details have been developed to suit various design requirements |
