Techniques and procedures in construction In the last years we have attended to an important renovation in the construction industry, specially affecting the renovation of constructive techniques, but also the production procedures inside the companies. This is the most important transformation since the aparition of heavy prefabrication and it holds new elements in this field. It does not mean the replacing of tradicionally opened and complex techniques in construction by automated and limited ones, but it presents substantial improvements which will allow the adaptation to the essential and distinctive fact of construction: the singularity of plannings and locations. The introduction and difussion of these latest models had a considerable effect in public construction associated to 1992 events, but it has not arrived to daily practice. So, beside new techniques in singular buildings, we find that mean level in construction is still very low and some constructive solutions that generate pathologies soon after are still common. At the present time, even recent materials and techniques present new problems because of its incorrect use. Another question that industry is worried about, specially to technicians, is the definition of the role to play by the parts present in construction procces. The change in structures and construction techniques means new trades and changes in existing ones. The aparition of major companies that join project, management and promotion, or the progressive extinction of the traditional model of liberal tecnician in front of wage earning are some aspects of this question. L'INFORMATIU del Col·legi d'Aparelladors i Arquitectes Tècnics de Barcelona is a fortnightly, multidisciplinary publication and it is opened to all the construction industry. The section "El reportatge" (The report) includes an analysis of current works. The intention is to form a stage to divulge the present technologic renovation in all levels. It studies works with a special constructive or production interest which can be used as an example for other works. The works selected represent the diversity in construction. The intention is to present new solutions, which mean improvements, to daily problems without leaving aside singular works. |
