Ibali elingemva kwekhonkrithi yendawo yobudala kunye nendlela enokunciphisa ngayo ubunzima bekhonkrithi ye-precast ngelixa ivelisa iimveliso zamandla aphezulu.
Le ngcamango elula, kodwa impendulo ayilula: ukunciphisa ubunzima bekhonkrithi ngaphandle kokuchaphazela amandla ayo. Masiphinde senze nzima umba othile ngelixa sisombulula iingxaki zokusingqongileyo; akugcini nje ukunciphisa i-carbon kwinkqubo yokuvelisa, kodwa ukunciphisa inkunkuma oyilahlayo endleleni.
“Le ibiyingozi epheleleyo,” utshilo uBart Rockett, umnini wesamente ekhazimlisiweyo yasePhiladelphia kunye nezigqubuthelo zeglasi yeRockett. Uqale wazama ukuphuhlisa ngakumbi inkqubo yakhe yokugquma ikhonkrithi ekhazimlisiweyo, umgangatho osebenzisa i-100% yamacandelo eglasi asetyenzisiweyo asetyenzisiweyo ukwenza isiphumo se-terrazzo. Ngokweengxelo, yi-30% yexabiso eliphantsi kwaye inikezela ngewaranti yeminyaka engama-20 yexesha elide. Inkqubo iyilelwe ukuba ikhazimliswe kakhulu kwaye ixabisa iidola ezisi-8 ngenyawo enye ngaphantsi kwe-terrazzo yesintu, okunokubanako ukusindisa ikontraka yokupholisha imali eninzi ngelixa ivelisa imigangatho ekumgangatho ophezulu.
Phambi kokupolisha, uRockett waqala amava akhe ekhonkrithi ngeminyaka engama-25 yekonkrithi yokwakha. Iglasi ehlaziyiweyo “eluhlaza” yamtsalela kushishino lwekonkrithi ekhazimlisiweyo, emva koko kwakwaleka iglasi. Emva kwamashumi eminyaka yamava, imisebenzi yakhe yekhonkrithi ekhazimlisiweyo iphumelele iimbasa ezininzi (ngo-2016, waphumelela iMbasa yokuKhetha i-Reader's Choice World kunye namanye amabhaso angama-22 kule minyaka idlulileyo-ukuza kuthi ga ngoku), injongo yakhe kukuthatha umhlalaphantsi. Zininzi izicwangciso ezicwangciswe kakuhle.
Ngelixa ukupaka ukuze kufakwe amafutha, u-Archie Filshill wabona ilori ka-Rockett, wayesebenzisa iglasi ehlaziyiweyo. Njengoko uPhil Hill wayesazi, nguye kuphela owenza nantoni na ngezinto. UFilshill yi-CEO kunye nomseki we-AeroAggregates, umenzi we-ultra-light closed-cell foam glass aggregates (FGA). Iziko zale nkampani zisebenzisa i-100% yeglasi ehlaziyiweyo ye-post-consumer, njengomgangatho we-Rockett's Glass Overlay, kodwa i-aggregates yokwakha eveliswayo ilula, ayinakutsha, i-insulated, i-free-draining, i-non-absorbent, ukumelana neekhemikhali, ukubola kunye ne-asidi. Oku kwenza i-FGA ibe yeyona ndlela igqwesileyo kwizakhiwo, ukhuko olukhaphukhaphu, amaqonga okuhambisa umthwalo kunye nomgangatho ophantsi ogqunyiweyo, kunye nokunciphisa imithwalo esecaleni emva kokugcina iindonga kunye nezakhiwo.
Ngo-Okthobha ka-2020, “Weza kum efuna ukwazi ukuba ndenza ntoni,” utshilo uRockett. Wathi, 'Ukuba ungabeka la matye (i-aggregate yakhe) kwikhonkrithi, uya kuba nento ekhethekileyo.'
I-AeroAggregates inembali malunga ne-30 iminyaka eYurophu kunye neminyaka eyi-8 e-United States. Ngokutsho kweRockett, ukudibanisa ubunzima obulula beglasi-esekelwe kwi-foam aggregate kunye nesamente ibisoloko iyingxaki ngaphandle kwesisombululo.
Kwangaxeshanye, uRockett usebenzise isamente emhlophe kumgangatho wakhe ukuqinisekisa ukuba umgangatho wakhe ufumana ubuhle kunye nomgangatho wokusebenza awufunayo. Wayenomdla wokwazi ukuba kuzakwenzeka ntoni, waxuba le samente kunye ne-aggregate ekhaphukhaphu. Nje ukuba ndifake isamente, [i-aggregate] iya kudada phezulu,” utshilo uRockett. Ukuba umntu uzama ukuxuba ibhetshi yekhonkrithi, ayisiyiyo le nto uyifunayo. Sekunjalo, ukufuna kwakhe ukwazi kwamqhubela ekubeni aqhubeke.
I-samente emhlophe isuka kwinkampani ebizwa ngokuba yiCaltra, eseNetherlands. Omnye wabasasazi abasebenzisa i-Rockett yi-Delta Performance, egxile kwi-admixtures, imibala kunye nemiphumo ekhethekileyo yesamente. UShawn Hays, umnini nomongameli weDelta Performance, wachaza ukuba nangona ikhonkrithi eqhelekileyo ingwevu, umgangatho omhlophe kwisamente uvumela abakhi bafake imibala phantse kuwo nawuphi na umbala—ubuchule obukhethekileyo xa umbala ubalulekile. .
"Ndijonge phambili ekusebenzeni noJoe Ginsberg (umyili owaziwayo waseNew York owathi wasebenzisana noRockett) ukuza nento ekhethekileyo kakhulu," kusho uHayes.
Olunye uncedo lokusebenzisa i-csa kukuthatha ithuba lokuncipha kwekhabhoni. “Ngokusisiseko, i-csa isamente yisamente ekhawulezayo, ithatha indawo yesamente yasePortland,” utshilo uHayes. "Isamente ye-csa kwinkqubo yokuvelisa iyafana nePortland, kodwa eneneni itshisa kwiqondo lobushushu elisezantsi, ke ithathwa njengesamente ehambelana nokusingqongileyo."
Kweli sithuba sexesha leConcreteGreen Global Concrete Technologies, ungabona iglasi kunye negwebu elixutywe kwikhonkrithi.
Ukusebenzisa inkqubo patented, yena kunye nothungelwano encinane iingcali ishishini wavelisa prototype ibhloko apho imicu wadala isiphumo gabion, ukumiswa aggregate kwikhonkrithi endaweni edadayo ukuya phezulu. “Le yiGrail eyiNgcwele ebifunwa ngumntu wonke kwishishini lethu iminyaka engama-30,” utshilo.
Yaziwa njengekhonkrithi yeminyaka yasemajukujukwini, iyenziwa ibezimveliso ezenziweyo. Ukomelezwa yimivalo yensimbi eqiniswe ngeglasi, ekhaphukhaphu kakhulu kunentsimbi (singasathethi ke ngokuphindwe kahlanu eyomeleleyo), iipaneli zekhonkrithi zibikwa ukuba zikhaphukhaphu nge-50% kunekhonkrithi yemveli kwaye zibonelela ngedatha yamandla enomtsalane.
“Sathi sakugqiba ukuxuba icocktail yethu ekhethekileyo, sasinobunzima obuziikhilogram ezingama-90. Xa kuthelekiswa ne-150 lekhonkrithi eqhelekileyo kwi-cubic foot nganye,” ucacise watsho uRockett. “Akucuthwanga ubunzima bekonkile kuphela, kodwa ngoku ubunzima besakhiwo sakho sonke nabo buya kuncitshiswa kakhulu. Asizange sizame ukuphuhlisa oku. Ukuhlala egaraji yam ngoMgqibelo ebusuku, yayilithamsanqa nje. Ndinesamente eyongezelelweyo kwaye andifuni ukuyichitha. Yaqala ke loo nto. Ukuba ndandingazange ndichukumise ikhonkrithi ekhazimlisiweyo kwiminyaka eli-12 eyadlulayo, yayingenakuze iguquke ibe yinkqubo yomgangatho, kwaye ngeyingazange iguquke ibe yisamente ekhaphukhaphu.”
Kwinyanga emva koko, iGreen Global Concrete Technology Company (GGCT) yasekwa, equka amaqabane amaninzi athe abona ukubakho kweemveliso ezintsha zikaRockett.
Ubunzima: 2,400 eeponti. Ikhonkrithi yobudala besithuba iyadi nganye (ikhonkrithi eqhelekileyo inobunzima obumalunga nama-4,050 eeponti ngeyadi nganye)
Uvavanyo lwePSI lwaqhutywa ngoJanuwari 2021 (idatha yovavanyo entsha yePSI efunyenwe ngoMatshi 8, 2021). NgokukaRockett, ikhonkrithi yesithuba seminyaka ayizukuqhekeka njengoko umntu ebenokulindela kuvavanyo lwamandla oxinzelelo. Endaweni yoko, ngenxa yobuninzi beentsinga ezisetyenziswa kwikhonkrithi, iye yanda kunokuba ichetywe njengekhonkrithi yesintu.
Wadala iinguqulelo ezimbini ezahlukeneyo zekhonkrithi yendawo yobudala: umxube wesiseko segreyi esemgangathweni kunye nomxube omhlophe wokwakha umbala kunye noyilo. Isicwangciso seprojekthi “yobungqina bengcamango” sele sisenziwa. Umsebenzi wokuqala wawuquka ukwakhiwa kwesakhiwo sokubonisa esinemigangatho emithathu, esibandakanya umgangatho ongaphantsi nophahla, iibhulorho zabahambi ngeenyawo, iindonga ezingavakaliyo, amakhaya/ikhusi zabangenamakhaya, iikholvethi, njl.
Isihloko seGGCT siyilwe nguJoe Ginsberg. I-Ginsberg ibekwe kwindawo ye-39 phakathi kwe-Top 100 Global Designers yi-Inspiration Magazine kunye ne-25 ye-Best Interior Designers eNew York yi-Covet House Magazine. UGinsberg wanxibelelana noRockett ngelixa wayebuyisela indawo yokuhlala ngenxa yomgangatho wakhe ogqunywe ngeglasi.
Okwangoku, isicwangciso kukwenza lonke uyilo lweprojekthi yexesha elizayo lugxile kumehlo kaGinsberg. Ubuncinci ekuqaleni, yena kunye neqela lakhe baceba ukongamela kunye nokukhokela iiprojekthi ezineemveliso zekhonkrithi zesithuba sobudala be-precast ukuqinisekisa ukuba ufakelo luchanekile kwaye luyahlangabezana nemigangatho.
Umsebenzi wokusebenzisa ikhonkrithi yexesha lendawo sele uqalisile. Ngethemba lokuqhekeza umhlaba ngo-Agasti, iGinsberg iqulunqa i-2,000 square foot. Isakhiwo seofisi: imigangatho emithathu, umgangatho omnye ongaphantsi, umphezulu wophahla. Umgangatho ngamnye umalunga ne-500 square feet. Yonke into iza kwenziwa kwisakhiwo, kwaye zonke iinkcukacha ziya kwakhiwa kusetyenziswa uyilo lwepotfoliyo yoyilo yeGGCT, iRockett Glass Overlay neGinsberg.
Umzobo wendawo yokuhlala engenamakhaya/indlu eyakhiwe ngamacwecwe ekhonkrithi ekhaphukhaphu. Itekhnoloji yekhonkrithi yehlabathi eluhlaza
UClifRock no-Lurncrete's Dave Montoya basebenzisana ne-GGCT ukuyila nokwakha iprojekthi yolwakhiwo lwezindlu olukhawulezayo kwabo bangenamakhaya. Kwiminyaka engaphezu kwe-25 kwishishini lekhonkrithi, uye waphuhlisa inkqubo enokuthi ichazwe kakuhle ngokuthi "udonga olungabonakaliyo". Ngendlela egqithisiweyo, i-admixture yokunciphisa amanzi inokongezwa kwi-grouting ukuvumela ikontraki ukuba ime ngaphandle kwefom. Unokontraka uya kuba nako ukwakha i-6-foot. Udonga ke "lukrolwe" ukuhombisa uyilo.
Kananjalo unamava ekusebenziseni i-fiber yeglasi yokuqinisa imivalo yentsimbi kwiipaneli zokuhlobisa kunye nomsebenzi wekhonkrithi yokuhlala. URockett wamfumana kungekudala, enethemba lokutyhala i-Space Age Concrete ngakumbi.
Ngokujoyina i-Montoya kwi-GGCT, iqela lakhawuleza lafumana indlela entsha kunye nenjongo yeepaneli zabo ezikhaphukhaphu ezenziwe ngaphambili: ukubonelela ngeendawo zokuhlala kunye namakhaya ahambahambayo kubantu abangenamakhaya. Rhoqo, iindawo zokuhlala ezininzi zemveli zitshatyalaliswa zizenzo zolwaphulo-mthetho ezifana nokuhlutywa kobhedu okanye ukutshiswa. “Xa ndandiyenza ngekonkile,” watsho uMontoya, “ingxaki kukuba abakwazi ukuyiqhekeza. Abanako ukuphazamisana nayo. Abanako ukuyenzakalisa.” Ezi panels ziyakwazi ukumelana nokungunda, ukumelana nomlilo, kwaye zibonelela ngexabiso lendalo le-R (okanye i-Insulation) ukubonelela ngokhuseleko olongezelelweyo lokusingqongileyo.
Ngokweengxelo, iindawo zokukhusela ezixhaswe ngamapaneli elanga anokwakhiwa ngosuku olunye. Izinto ezisetyenziswayo ezifana ne-wiring kunye ne-plumbing ziya kuhlanganiswa kwiipaneli zekhonkrithi ukukhusela umonakalo.
Okokugqibela, izakhiwo eziziimobhayili ziyilelwe ukuba zithwaleke kwaye zibe ziimodyuli, ezinokuthi zonge oomasipala imali eninzi xa kuthelekiswa nezakhiwo ezingazinzanga. Nangona imodyuli, uyilo lwangoku lwekhusi yi-8 x 10 iinyawo. (Okanye malunga ne-84 square feet) yendawo yomgangatho. I-GGCT inxibelelana noorhulumente abathile baseburhulumenteni nabengingqi kwiindawo ezikhethekileyo zezakhiwo. ILas Vegas neLouisiana sele zibonise umdla.
U-Montoya usebenzisane nenye inkampani yakhe, i-Equip-Core, kunye nomkhosi ukuze kusetyenziswe inkqubo esekelwe kwiphaneli yezinye izakhiwo zoqeqesho lobuchule. Ikhonkrithi yomelele kwaye yomelele, kwaye imingxuma edubulayo ephilayo inokucutshungulwa ngesandla ngokuxuba ikhonkrithi efanayo. Isiziba esilungisiweyo siya kunyangwa kwimizuzu eyi-15 ukuya kwengama-20.
I-GGCT isebenzisa ukubanakho kwekhonkrithi yesithuba sexesha ngobunzima bayo obukhaphukhaphu kunye namandla. Bajolise ekufakeni isamente kwizakhiwo nakwizakhiwo ezingezizo ezokhuseleko. Iimveliso ezinokubakho ziquka ukukhanya kobunzima bezithuthi ezingangenwa lizwi iindonga, izitepsi, kunye neebhulorho zabahambi ngeenyawo. Bakha ipaneli yokulinganisa udonga lwe-4 ft x 8 ft, uyilo lubukeka ngathi ludonga lwamatye. Isicwangciso siya kubonelela ngoyilo oluhlanu olwahlukileyo.
Kuhlalutyo lokugqibela, injongo yeqela le-GGCT kukuphucula izakhono zokontraka ngenkqubo yokukhutshwa kweelayisenisi. Ukuya kumlinganiselo othile, usasaze kwihlabathi kwaye udale imisebenzi. “Sifuna abantu bazibandakanye kwaye bathenge iilayisensi zethu,” utshilo uRockett. “Umsebenzi wethu kukuphuhlisa ezi zinto ukuze sikwazi ukuzisebenzisa ngoko nangoko… Siya kwabona bantu babalaseleyo ehlabathini, senzayo ngoku. Abantu abafuna ukuqalisa ukwakha iifektri, bafuna ukwenza uyilo lwabo Abantu ababandakanyekayo kwiqela… Sifuna ukwakha iziseko ezingundoqo eziluhlaza, sineziseko ezingundoqo eziluhlaza. Sifuna abantu bokwakha izakhiwo eziluhlaza ngoku. Siya kuyiphuhlisa, siya kubabonisa indlela yokuyakha ngezinto zethu, baya kuyamkela.
“Ukutshona kweziseko ezingundoqo zesizwe ngoku kuyingxaki enkulu,” utshilo uRockett. "Ukuvuza okunzulu, izinto ezineminyaka engama-50 ukuya kwengama-60 ubudala, ukutshona, ukuqhekeka, ukutyeba kakhulu, kunye nendlela onokwakha ngayo izakhiwo ngale ndlela kwaye wonge iibhiliyoni zeedola kukusebenzisa izinto ezilula, xa une-20,000. imoto kwaye uqhube kuyo usuku [ebhekisa kwisakhono sesicelo sekhonkrithi yendawo yobudala ekwakhiweni kwebhulorho]. Ndide ndiqalise ukusebenzisa i-AeroAggregates kwaye ndimamele into abayenzayo kuzo zonke iziseko zophuhliso kunye nobunzima bayo Ngaphambili, ndiyibonile yonke le nto. Imalunga nokuqhubela phambili. Yisebenzise ukwakha.”
Nje ukuba uqwalasele amacandelo ekhonkrithi yobudala bendawo kunye, ikhabhoni nayo iya kuncipha. I-csa isamente inomlinganiselo omncinci wekhabhoni, ifuna amaqondo obushushu asezantsi eziko, isebenzisa amagwebu kunye nee-aggregates zeglasi ezisetyenzisiweyo, kunye nemivalo yentsimbi eqinisiweyo yeglasi-nganye edlala indima "eluhlaza" inxalenye ye-GGCT.
Ngokomzekelo, ngenxa yobunzima obulula be-AeroAggregate, iikontraka zinokuthutha iiyadi ezili-100 zezinto eziphathekayo ngexesha, xa kuthelekiswa neeyadi ezingama-20 kwilori ye-axle emithathu eqhelekileyo. Ngokwale mbono, iprojekthi yakutsha nje esebenzisa isikhululo seenqwelomoya i-AeroAggregate njenge-aggregate isindise unokontraka malunga nohambo lwe-6,000.
Ukongeza ekuncedeni ukubuyisela isiseko sethu, i-Rockett ikwaphembelela uzinzo ngokusebenzisa iinkqubo zokuhlaziya. Koomasipala kunye namaziko okurisayikilisha, ukususa iglasi ehlaziyiweyo ngumngeni oneendleko ezinkulu. Umbono wakhe ubizwa ngokuba "yesibini ngobukhulu eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka" kwaye yiglasi eqokelelwe kwiintengo zikamasipala kunye nelokishi. Lo mbono uvela ekunikeni injongo ecacileyo yokurisayikilishwa-ukuvumela abantu ukuba baqonde ngcono isiphumo sokwenziwa ngokutsha kwindawo yabo. Isicwangciso kukudala ibhokisi yokugcina enkulu eyahlukileyo (isitya sesibini esiluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka) sokuqokelela iglasi kwinqanaba likamasipala, kunokuba udoti ungabeka ecaleni kwendlela.
I-GGCT iyasekwa kwindawo ye-AeroAggregate e-Eddystone, ePennsylvania. Ubuchwephesha beConcrete yeGlobal Global
“Ngoku, yonke inkunkuma yonakele,” watsho. “Ukuba sinokwahlula iglasi, oko kuya kongela abathengi izigidi zeerandi kwiindleko zolwakhiwo lweziseko ezingundoqo zesizwe, kuba imali egciniweyo inokubuyiselwa kwabasemagunyeni bakamasipala. Sinemveliso ekwazi ukuphosa iglasi oyiphosa kwinkunkuma kwindlela , Umgangatho wesikolo, ibhulorho okanye amatye phantsi kwe-I-95… Ubuncinci uyazi ukuba xa ulahla into ethile, isebenza ngenjongo. Eli linyathelo.
