The assembled SISMO system is a continuous monolithic concrete system without fire leakage through the assembled system. This is specified in the European Technical Assessment.
The polystyrene used is self-extinguishing in compliance with the DIN 4102 rules. SISMO building technology allows the use of alternative infill materials. Fibre cement board, for example, can be used on the inside of a lift shaft.
Fire resistant tests carried out on different types of SISMO modules have given very satisfactory results.
Test reports can be supplied upon request.
Our experiences, in different countries have shown that the time required to realise buildings using the SISMO building technology is significantly shorter compared to conventional building methods. The key word for SISMO is the industrial character of the system. The rationalised concept allows precise planning and prevents unnecessary delays. A very fast construction process completes the efficiency of the SISMO concept.
SISMO is quick to put into action; in emergencies a SISMO Production Station can be operational in a matter of weeks.
Energy efficient building has become a priority in the building industry. Thermal protection in buildings directly influences the use of energy for heating and cooling, as well as the ability to control the room climate. Good insulation makes an enormous difference in cold and in hot climates.
SISMO gives the builder the opportunity to choose between a variety of insulating materials and thermal performances. With insulating infill panels, the SISMO buildings are completely and permanently insulated.
When using SISMO it is possible to provide an airtight building envelope with minimal ’uncontrolled’ air changes. As a consequence the volume and quality of ventilation air can be easily and accurately controlled in a SISMO building, thus providing a comfortable, economical and healthy environment.
The SISMO building technology also guarantees efficient acoustic insulation. Building with SISMO results in a continuous monolithic structure which forms an effective sound barrier. For specific applications, the SISMO module can be tailored to satisfy all acoustic requirements.
In 2001 Sismo® was the first company in the construction sector that received the European Technical Approval (ETA 01/0001).
Over the years, several tests at universities and building authorities in different countries have proven the SISMO building technology’s exceptional capacities. Reports can be supplied upon request.
The infinite variability of the SISMO concept provides a construction method with virtually unlimited possibilities.
The SISMO module can be used for the construction of loadbearing vertical elements, partitions, curtain walls, floors and roofs. Different geometrical or curved shapes can easily be obtained in the module surface as well as in the pre-located window and door openings.
The SISMO building system is suitable for all kinds of projects, whether it’s a house or a village, apartments, offices or industrial buildings, high or low-rise buildings.
SISMO gives unlimited design possibilities. The shape, the type of infill panels and finishing materials can be chosen freely. However simple or fantastic the design, however traditional or daring, any project can be realised with the SISMO Building Technology.
The SISMO building system is a cost efficient building method for all parties involved in the building process. For the contractor the system is easy to install, the need for specialised labour is heavily reduced. The industrialised process allows efficient planning and an accelerated construction time. There is no need for investing in expensive formwork as the modules arrive on site with the window and door openings already pre-located and every special shape or form already included. The SISMO modules are lightweight, there is no need for heavy machinery on site.
SISMO significantly shortens the construction time allowing a faster commissioning of the building. This results in lower pre-financing costs for the developer and for the owner of the project.
The end user of a SISMO building will be astonished by his low energy bill. Building with SISMO guarantees a complete and permanent insulation, which produces energy savings in cold and in hot climates.
More than any other kind of building system SISMO creates enormous economies of scale, especially in larger projects with repetitive aspects.
The SISMO building technology is compatible with virtually any other method of construction. The SISMO module can be used for entire buildings. Depending on locally available products or customs, the SISMO system can be integrated in the construction process in combination with any type of floor, partition, roof material or system.
